Pirlo suspects Deportivo were on something when they beat Milan in 2004

Mauro Silva must have played his whole career "on something", kinda like his buddy Gennaro.

What an ass Pirlo, can't believe anyone would publish something like this.

He also says in his new autobiography ' I would have crawled on my hands and knees to join Barcelona (or Madrid)'

They were divorced when the two started dating but this whole thing is ridiculous, Lopez and his ex-wife have three sons who no one seems to consider in all this. They sound like complete idiots on Twitter and some their tweets should be bookmarked for posterity for when this "relationship" ultimately blows up. Don't even get me started on the tattoos. And now they're resorted to putting the children, who are innocents, in the crossfire. Icardi is just a young, dumb boy thinking with the wrong brain, probably had a crush on this woman when he and Lopez were close, but Lopez's ex-wife should know better and be doing a better job of protecting her sons.

There is probably some truth to the guys resting for the WC and in my opinion I hope they play themselves to death. As much as a RM fan and CR fan I am, what is best for the club is for Portugal to get eliminated. Knowing CR, he plays hard every game and this is great for the club, this is why I worship him. Hopefully Portugal loses and he gets rested up for next season. Also, I am an American and this is advantageous to my national team and the last thing we need is for CR to destroy us.

If Cristiano is indeed your God, why would you want your God to be defeated at the biggest stage of it all, and which if He wins, will put Him as the best player of His generation ever, and the biggest rivalry in football over the last 7-8 years will be put to death for good. Why would you not Him to win it all, you are not doing good as a devotee !

No, not yet. Waiting to see where they finish, so I can laugh even more. Who's the one who said, we should take Arsenal as an example?

Zidane05 · Apr 15, 2014

Everton has a couple of tough ones still vs. the Manchester teams. Hopefully they can pull it out.

RaMaaa · Apr 15, 2014

yeah. Arsenal has better chances imo, but it would be fun to see Everton taking that last spot. it's just time for Wenger to leave, cause all managers are better tactics than him, Martinez also, and if for example Van Gaal will be new Spurs coach, next season Arsenal can be far away from 4th place.

Do you guys remember Maxi Lopez?
Here he is signing an autograph for the 9 year old Icardi, who is now 21 and has "stolen" his wife hahahahaha .

The lowest of the low. Makes players marrying a childhood friend (like Zidane for example), a lot more admirable.

This Pirlo book looks to be a bizarre comedy. Couple of quotes:

On Guardiola tapping him up:

“He was elegant in the extreme, much like his conversation.

“Thank you for agreeing to meet me.”

“Thank you for inviting me.”

“We need you here, Andrea.”

“You could tell he wasn’t a man to beat about the bush. After a couple of minutes, he’d cut straight to the chase. As a player, his job had been to conduct the play and as a manager he’d learned to attack, always with impeccable style.

“‘We’re already very strong, I really couldn’t ask for better, but you’d be the icing on the cake. We’re looking for a midfielder to alternate with Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets, and that midfielder is you. You’ve got all the attributes to play for Barcelona, and one in particular – you’re world class.’

“During that half hour I largely kept quiet and let him speak. I listened and, at most, nodded my head. I was so taken aback by the summons that my reflexes had slowed. I was more dazed than excited: shaken by the situation, but in a really positive way.

“‘You know what, Andrea: we’ve made this approach because that’s how we do things round here. We don’t waste time. We want to buy you right now, and we’ve already spoken to Milan. They’ve said ‘no’, but we’ll not give up: we’re Barcelona. We’re used to hearing certain answers but, in the end, things pretty much always change. We’ll try again with Milan. In the meantime, start making a few moves with them as well.’”

On Gattuso:

You could see the red mist coming down and he just wasn’t able to hide it. We could tell what was coming and so we’d commandeer all the knives. Gattuso would grab a fork and try to stick it in us.
‘Some of us ended up missing games because of one of Rino’s fork attacks, even if the official explanation from the club was one of muscle fatigue.’

On pressure:

I don’t give a toss about pressure. I spent afternoon sleeping and playing Playstation. Then I went out and won the World Cup.

On Italy:

Being part of a team that belongs to everyone makes me feel good. A lot of the time, it’s better than sex: it lasts longer and if it falls flat, it can’t just be your fault…Much better to be a soldier on the pitch than in the bedroom.

On his training:

Pirlo vs Nesta was a classic duel back in our Milanello days. We’d get in early, have breakfast at 9am and then shut ourselves in our room and hit the PlayStation until 11. Training would follow, then we’d be back on the computer games until four in the afternoon. Truly a life of sacrifice.

On Hodgson:

Hodgson mispronounced my name. He called me “Pirla” (a term used in Milan dialect which roughly translates as “dickhead”), perhaps understanding my true nature more than the other managers.

On Liverpool / Champions league final:

On that Champions League Final in Istanbul against Liverpool: “It’s an enemy that I can’t allow to wound me a second time. It’s already done enough damage: most of it hidden far from the surface.

“I’ll never watch that match again. I’ve already played it once in person and many other times in my head, searching for an explanation that perhaps doesn’t even exist.

“It was suggested we hang a black funeral pall as a permanent reminder on the walls of Milanello, right next to the images of triumph. A message to future generations that feeling invincible is the first step on the path to the point of no return.

“Personally, I’d add that horrendous result to the club’s honours board. I’d write it slap bang in the middle of the list of leagues and cups they’ve won, in a different coloured ink and perhaps a special font, just to underline its jarring presence.’

“I thought about quitting because, after Istanbul, nothing made sense any more. The 2005 Champions League final simply suffocated me.

“To most people’s minds, the reason we lost on penalties was Jerzy Dudek – that jackass of a dancer who took the mickey out of us by swaying about on his line and then rubbed salt into the wound by saving our spot kicks.

“I could hardly sleep and even when I did drop off, I awoke to a grim thought: I’m disgusting. I can’t play any more. I went to bed with Dudek and all his Liverpool team-mates.’

“I’ll never fully shake that sense of absolute impotence when destiny is at work. The feeling will cling to my feet forever, trying to pull me down…

“There are always lessons to be found in the darkest moments. It’s a moral obligation to dig deep and find that little glimmer of hope or pearl of wisdom.

“You might hit upon an elegant phrase that stays with you and makes the journey that little bit less bitter. I’ve tried with Istanbul and haven’t managed to get beyond these words: for feck’s sake.

It’s nothing but masturbation for conditioning coaches.

He has to change the style of the team's dress uniform. He is all about himself.

I can understand Pirlo esp when he is a star and sex with hot ladies becomes available like tap water.

From Pirlo's book on joining Real Madrid:

http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/2...o-real-how-andrea-pirlo-agreed-to-join-madrid

It's a pity it went the way it did. I'd have signed for Real in a heartbeat. They're a club with more glamour than Milan; more prospects, more appeal, more everything. They strike fear in their opponents, whoever they happen to be.

Turning down dates to hang with bros is completely different to saying "feeling like your part of a team is better than sex".
