Andrea Pirlo's form essential for AC Milan
A.C Milan, without a doubt, is one of the greatest clubs of all times which has gone on to win international club competition than any other club in the world. Moreover, A.C Milan is the only Italian club which has never been relegated in its domestic leagues.
With 18 domestic league titles and seven European Championships in the bag, they are the most dominating team in Italy at the moment.
Since the formation of the club in 1899, the Italian Giants were always gifted with extremely talented midfielders. So much so that it has become a tradition in AC Milan that creates such quality midfielders. Milan midfields magicians are always blessed
with a vision and great sense of playmaking.
Call them magicians or wizards, midfielders are the heart of the game. They defend and they attack, they create goals and they save goals - midfielders are vital members of any team. As the job description is like, it takes a lot to become a midfielder.
This can be gauged by the fact that more midfielders have won the ‘World Player of the Year’ award than strikers or defenders.
Midfielders play in the heart of the field. Teams with more midfield options evntually reached the finals of the World Cup in South Africa which prove the important of efficient midfielders. Xavi Hernandez was the only player in the World Cup who completed
90% of his passes. The team that lifted the trophy was also blessed with Arsenal’s talisman Cesc Fabregas in the midfield.
Since 2001, midfield remains the strength for the Rossoneri. The player behind AC Milan’s midfield prowess is none other than Andre Pirlo.
Andrea Pirlo joined Milan as an attacking midfielder. Pirlo was initially asked to play as a defensive midfielder where he could control the game, show his incredible skill set and put accent on the play making. The Italian midfielder was part of the Italian
squad that won the World Cup in 2006. Legendary Coach Carlo Ancelotti discovered Andrea Pirlo and he was responsible for playing Pirlo at the back of the midfield for A.C Milan in the initial days.
This tactical move from Carlo Ancelotti was the only reason that Milan won titles after titles. Andrea Pirlo’s game is acknowledged by football fans from across the globe. Pirlo has failed to gain star status but there is some time left for that.
Since his debut with Milan, the Italian midfielder has managed to revolutionize a playmakers role in the world of soccer which is quite an achievement for this Milan midfielder. It is something no one else before him achieved and no one after him will be
able to do it. Pirlo is comfortable in playing from a position where he can easily defend and play in the central midfield as well.
Pirlo is one of the best passers, who can outclass any opposition player in terms of accurate pin point passing. Without a doubt, Andrea Pirlo is a creative midfielder who creates many goal scoring chances for his teammates.
