I don't know why I have a feeling that Pirlo will be the difference maker today.
Here is an interview with him. They play video game!
"I know what I am going to do once I’ll be on the pitch," said Pirlo. "I’ll stare at the cup and count the seconds until I lift it up.
"I always go to bed late. I spend all nights playing playstation with Nesta, and he’s perhaps better than me.
"We are a very united team, like a family. Our sense of cohesion is what makes the difference.
"The ball that we will use in the final is a little different. It’s lighter and it tends to float a little when you kick it.
He was also ready for spot-kicks: "I am ready to take penalties. It’s been quite a while since I took one in a game, but I don’t think taking penalties would be a problem."
As for his own impact, he said: "I am glad that Ancelotti thinks I can be the key-player of the game and that Benitez will particularly pay attention to my movements on the pitch.
"I will certainly move around a lot to create more spaces, just like I did in the game against Manchester United.
"We have to be optimistic. We all know what lies in store ahead and we have to win so we can cancel the night at Istanbul. We’ve worked very hard and that’s why I urge to go and win this cup."
