Born 19 May 1979 in Brescia, Italy) is an Italian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Juventus F.C. in the Italian First Division.
Born into a wealthy family, he lacks the courage that footballers often have, but the way he handles the ball is skillful.
Physical fitness: legs long hands long body length is better than excellent, looking harmonious. The difference between absolute strength and absolute speed, and the instantaneous explosive force is also weak, so his ball style is soft, which is well understood.
Ability to handle the ball: World-class, among the top players in the midfield. Long pass dispatch and long-range over-the-top picks are his core competencies, and the dribbling at the top of the arc of the penalty area attracts defenders and then pulls out space for teammates. The pattern is large, the ball is wide, and the god-level missed ball given to Marchisio in the 14-year World Cup against England is his battle for the gods (purely personal evaluation).
During the AC Milan period, because the body was not good enough, Ancelotti's double-back formation needed to be equipped with a strong defensive ability Gattuso to protect him, which was his weakness. The psychological quality is not strong enough, and the moment when Pirlo hugged Cannavaro from behind and hugged his chest with his hands on the penalty in the 2006 World Cup final was enough to illustrate. Talk about his free kick kung fu separately: run to the position of the ball with a comfortable but not slow pace, the body is supple and relaxed, and then (the point is on) using the two or three toes of the right toe to touch the ball to hit the goal - generally the ball is not fast, the arc is not very large, but Pirlo can often kick out the "falling leaves" like flutters, which is really powerful. I have also tried a few times, and the success rate is not high, because of the lack of power, it is not easy to pull out the arc. It is still a little far from Harvey Xiaobai, and among the midfielders in the past 15 years, he can enter the top three, but it is also the third.
