@@Arctioa he played in the modern era you tool. Football has not become more physical in the last 10 years. It made the transition to high intensity, physical style in the mid-2000's, when Pirlo was very much still active. And what did he do? He turned Juve around and orchestrated their run to the UCL final in 2015...in an era which didn't suit him at all. He was an anomaly, he shouldn't have been able to play, or be effective in the modern era, but he very much was. He would still defy reason today. Phenomenon.
Pirlo's ball technique was even better than Messi, I have never seen another football player who passed the ball like that and hit the ball so well, he had very aesthetic shots
