The Pescara midfielder has stated that he is flattered by all the comparisons to Andrea Pirlo, however, he knows that he still has a lot to prove to make his mark.
The Juventus target has not hidden his admiration for Andrea Pirlo and feels honoured to be likened to him, however, he has modestly stated that players like Pirlo cannot be replicated, they are unique. He also went on to state
about his time at Pescara and how the environment around him has helped him develop as a better player.
Pescara dazzled many with their attractive style of football, which was a move away from the traditional defensive approach deployed by many Italian clubs. Zdenek Zeman has been the mastermind behind their impressive style of play.
However, Zeman has now left for a fresh challenge and went on to succeed Luis Enrique at AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603.
Pescara are still yet to find a replacement for their talismanic head coach, however, they have rebuffed any attempts to part ways with their prized assets. Pescara were willing to listen to offers for Verratti, but none of the
clubs were willing to meet his valuation.
Despite their refusal to sell the star, speculation is rife that the Delfini have offered Verratti to Paris Saint-Germain. The head coach of PSG is the former Milanello head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, who has kept a keen eye in the
Serie A.
Last season he signed a host of stars, including http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 for a whooping 30 million Euros. However, interest from PSG has not been confirmed and it
is still in the air.
Marco Verratti went on to comment on his own performance through the last campaign and stated that he had a long way to go, he also commended the positive influence Zeman and the club has had on him, and remarked:
“I still have a long way to go and a lot to prove. I’ve been helped by my family who have always been close to me, the work culture which was given to me by boss Zdenek Zeman and the club of my hometown who always believed in me.
All I did was add my passion for this sport which, for now, is mainly about enjoyment.”
Juventus have cooled their interest in the U-21 international.
