Andrea Pirlos penalty

[EKBATAN]

My friend Pirlo is 33 and Xavi is 32. Ok Pirlo played great this season and even better in the Euro but the last two season wasnt so good and this was the reason Milan let him go and Iniesta and Xavi are playin great since I dont know if they ever played mediocre. I cant say one of them is better than the other. All Three are world class and won a lot of titles, Iniesta and Xavi more than Pirlo

Pirlo was injured majority of those 2 seasons with Milan. And to compare xavi/iniesta and pirlo based on their team performance is not fair. Barca has had better players than Milan so therefore their performance looks more impressive vs. pirlo.

I was thinking more of Iniesta than Xavi.

Pirlo has carried his national team more than Xavi, lets see if Iniensta can do the same

[KeonKish]

Pirlo performs much better under pressure.

Iniesta carried Spain to the world Cup win. Iniesta and Xavi are the faces of Tiki taki which revolutionate football. They were elected second and third best player of the world in 2010 thats something pirlo will never. this two guys are part of a team that made history!

He played in the season 09-10: 34games
and in 10-11: 17games
so he missed many games in 10-11 season but the season before he played almost all games

lol one good penalty, and everyone is now comparing Pirlo to Xaviniesta.
rest it ppl, pirlo at the moment is no where near the level of these 2 specially Iniesta, he will be MVP of the tournament.
I've never seen Pirlo do the kind of pressing Xavi does.

LOL you think its cuz of the penalty, ive always said pirlo > xavi and iniesta

first off la liga u can score like its basketball....in serie A not many can score 30 goals...where as in la liga messi can score 45, villa and pedro will score 20 each, so yea stat wise xavi might have more assists but thats cuz its an easier league to score and barca/real dominate. Pirlo hasnt had that luxury and its much tougher. Same goes for national teams. Pirlo has been a name since like year 2000 where as xavi and iniesta have only become known since 2008

[persiangodfather]

pirlo does it by himself, he doesnt have messi or iniesta beside him all he had was gattuso and de rossi

[KeonKish]

Pirlo is more of a holding midfielder, not so much attacking.
Pirlo does his job amazingly. He KEEPS possesion in the center of the field.
Xavi and Iniesta are in reality false midfielders.
A REAL midfielder does defensive holding and attacking.
Xavi and Iniesta are really false forwards, I have never seen them do any decent holding or defensive tasks.
Italy also has the most diehard defenders. Scoring in italy is at a minimum 2x harder than la liga, which is the most corrupt league in the world.

pirlo never ever came even closing to winning any award,, after 1 penalty he became zidane's father

[persiangodfather]

pirlo never won any award cuz all the media wants is messi or ronaldo, but ill tell you what. every team pirlo played on he has won the highest trophies with that team, so hes gotta be doing something right

[Go_Daei]

I take Pirlo over those spanish players anyday... he's a machine...calm and focused during play and party animal after the game..he's different breed imho.
