Yes. He was taking cheap shots. But he wasn't being a backstabbing b_tard.

Hehe, I'd like to entertain you a bit longer, but I have a flight to catch tomorrow, so this is my last post for a few days. Take care. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

hehe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Travel safe man!

Yes. He was taking cheap shots. But he wasn't being a backstabbing b_tard.

He back stabbed his loving idolizing fans. He was gone, I dealt with it. But I still considered him a Milan favorite and an adored member of a legendary team. Now he will always be that guy that left like that.

What you don't understand is that you can't make a remotely legitimate point with out sticking your foot in your mouth. We get it, you're tough, you're cool, you're edgy, you can say whatever you want and damn to hell anyone who thinks otherwise. It's a tired and pathetic act. Take a page out of acid's book. I don't always agree with what he says but when he makes a point he does it with class and verve. He is respectful and passionate. You're far lower class than the people you routinely insult. One day, maybe after a little introspection, you'll grow up and realize that bad mouthing and calling names doesn't make you cool it makes you an insufferable prick.

You guys can assemble yourselves into the most vicious n00b tsunami if you want and it still doesn't affect the TRUTH.
I remember the early days when I used to say that Pirlo played without passion for Milan I was insulted in all manners and called so many names. I'm pretty sure if I used the words contained in the above post you and the hoard of dru trolls would have been clamoring to the mods for my head. I'm asking for this thread to get back on topic and less about my opinion of the turncoat fairy.

You want class and verve? Go read some of the disgusting comments about Seedorf while he was a current player. Where is the outrage at those things? I'm not required to sugarcoat or tone down anything as long as I'm not breaking the forum rules. It's not my fault that the truth is hurtful and you are reduced to turning your anger at me personally than being able to comeback with the thinnest of rebuttals to my claims.

I didn't make Pirlo show close to zero emotion here (think of Clarence's tears after Tottenham) but get fired up as heck for the Azzurri. Sweating blood for Ladri and the Azzurri while nonchalantly jogging and assisting opposing attackers for us. Don't get mad at me when the times he had to take the lead to actually help us, such as in the Arsenal game '08 he flopped majestically. The only thing that got him going was the bruising of his evidently gigantic ego.

Again please let's get back on topic.

Pirlo: Italy have not done anything yet
The Juventus midfielder compared the spirit in the Azzurri camp to that in the successful 2006 World Cup campaign, but has urged his team-mates to keep their feet on the ground

Italy playmaker Andrea Pirlo has warned his team-mates not to get carried away following their 2-1 victory over Germany in the Euro 2012 semi-finals.
Don't Miss



The Azzurri put in an impressive display on Thursday evening to see off Joachim Low's men - who had been tipped as favourites for the match - and join Spain in the final.

Italy have performed well above expectations in Poland and Ukraine, but Pirlo insists it will count for nothing if they fail to go on and win the tournament.

"We have not won anything yet," Pirlo told reporters. "[Not to win] would be like going to Rome and not seeing the Pope.

"We are convinced that we will have a great match against Spain. But if we want to have a chance to win, we will need to show the same spirit and desire we showed tonight and in the match against England.

"After the 2006 World Cup, we had some problems in the national team because successes were not coming. Now, we have reached the final."

The 33-year-old midfielder also drew parallels between Italy's campaign in Poland and Ukraine and the 2006 World Cup - where they defeated France in the final.

"The feelings are more or less the same," he explained. "There is the same desire to win and also some youngsters who were not in the squad in 2006."

Very nice interview....that's the Milan gentleman we once knew talking

In other news I plan to visit Italy and Rome....but I have no plans on seeing the pope (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Call me an incorrigible fanboy, but I think for the first time they're actually printing what he said, instead of taking snippets and twisting it to fit the tone of an article.
The English language media can be wildly spectacular at times.

The way they twisted and turned Ronaldo's comments. I still dislike him as a character, but he's no demon.

The way they have made T.Silva sound like a money hungry so-and-so. Etc.

Andrea Pirlo has written an autobiography, which covers his Milan leaving gift, how he nearly returned to Inter and dodging bottles thrown by ‘viper’ Antonio Conte.

The midfielder is set to publish his book, titled ‘I think, therefore I play,’ and La Gazzetta dello Sport published some extracts today.

Pirlo reveals he was less than impressed with his parting gift from Milan – a Cartier pen with the club symbol on it.

“A lovely pen, but still a pen. Filled with banal blue ink. Adriano Galliani told me ‘Make sure you don’t use that to sign a new contract with Juventus.’ At least he got the joke right.

“As a goodbye gift I expected something more than that perfect comic timing. My 10 years of Milan, gone like that. I smiled anyway.

“It was a mutual decision to leave, as I did not want to risk suffering from boredom. That is why I was disappointed at the end of that final meeting, but only to the right degree. So was Galliani.”

Pirlo also wrote about the fact Massimiliano Allegri wanted to move him to the left side of midfield rather than in front of the defence.

“I still thought I could give my best there. A fish breathes when it is in deep water. It makes do when near the surface, but it’s not the same thing.

“We never discussed money that afternoon in the spring of 2011. Never. In those 30 minutes, we didn’t broach the subject of economics with Galliani. I just wanted to be considered important, at the centre of a project and not a player heading for the scrap yard.”

He had joined Inter as an Under-21 international, but reveals then-Coach Leonardo tried to bring him back there when his contract expired with Milan in 2011.

“He told me great things about Inter, how happy and fired up he was. It could’ve been a great challenge to go back where I had already been, to cross the city after 10 consecutive years at Milan, nine of which had been extraordinary.

“Leonardo could’ve helped me with that, if he hadn’t gone to Paris Saint-Germain a few weeks later. I couldn’t do it, though. It would’ve been really too much and the Milan fans did not deserve an affront like that.”

Pirlo also considered an offer from Roma, but was “suspicious” when the new American owners wouldn’t go into detail about the kind of team they were building.

“I have dealt with many Coaches in my career, but Conte is the one who surprised me the most. He needed just one speech, with many simple words, to conquer both me and Juventus. We arrived together on the Planet Juventus.

“He presented himself to us on the first day of pre-season training in the gym at Bardonecchia. He already had fire running through his veins and moved like a viper. ‘This squad, dear lads, is coming off two consecutive seventh-place finishes. It’s crazy. Shocking. I am not here for this, so it’s time to stop being crap.’

“If Arrigo Sacchi was a genius, then what is he? I expected him to be great, but not that great. I thought of a Coach with a lot of grit and charisma, but instead I discovered he has much to teach his colleagues in terms of tactics and technique.

“Going back, there is one thing I wouldn’t do again – choose the locker right next to Gigi Buffon at the Juventus Stadium, the one in front of the door,” wrote Pirlo.

“It is the most dangerous spot in Turin, especially at half-time. Conte storms in and – even when we are winning – throws anything he can get his hands on towards the wall, which is my spot. He’ll throw anything he can find, almost always plastic bottles full of water. Very fizzy water.

“He becomes a beast and is never happy, as there is always some detail that isn’t perfect and he can see in advance what could happen over the next 45 minutes.

“One time we were losing to Milan and he couldn’t get over it. ‘Against them! I can’t understand how we can’t be beating them! They even play badly.’”

Sooooooooo butthurt this guy...

[Zed.D]

He's won two Scudetti in as many years since leaving Milan. how can he be buttheart?

[KillerMax]

What does that have to do with anything? Every single f@cking interview this guy is rambling on and on about Milan... Just get off our balls already...

Maybe it's because he did not want to leave in the first place and was hurt by the way things were left with Milan??

Those are ten years of his career we're talking about. Pirlo has won far more important things than the Scudetto. Those are not the point but it's clear he was p!ssed off about how he was treated because Allegri couldn't fit him into his team because he's too small minded to make that work.
