Geometries and perfect touches Pirlo better than Xavi and Iniesta

Excluded from the podium of the Golden Ball, Andrea Pirlo takes a rematch (not required, of little interest to him) with the inventory at year end. And if Messi is traveling at 90 goals a season, also the director of Juventus with numbers and jokes in his field, is confirmed as an ace. In 2012 the turnover Pirlo has made 3368 passes made, of which 2947 (87.5%) turned out well, no player has made a lot in the five major European championships. Including acrobatic chewing Barcelona. Quantity and quality symptom of genius. The Archimedes football, give me the ball and I lifted the team. It was so well for Juve, although many others have been the key to success. Only one, however, knows how to be centroid of a game and identity. The top player much sought: taken to zero euro, from the direct competition.

So, he often has the ball and the drama, for the enemy, Pirlo is that it knows how to make good use: its steps are outputs 141 chances, even in this case the best in Europe. Not just assist, of course, but even those touches that the Anglo-Saxons call pass key, key steps: do not always end up on a network, instead it always comes a dangerous action. Maybe one that is not on the cover, it is up to the bomber, but everyone would like to have him behind the wheel. "God exists," said Buffon to before Pirlo at Juventus. Moreover, Andrea da Brescia sees and provides. Want more?

He and Juve will resume today to train in the late morning, restarting the preparation for the challenge to Sampdoria on Sunday. At the first of 2013, Conte will immediately change something: Asamoah will go to Africa Cup of Nations and Lichtsteiner is disqualified. Maybe it's up already Peluso, expected today from medical appointments.
