ON PLAYING FOR ROY HODGSON AT INTERNAZIONALE Hodgson mispronounced my name. He called me 'Pirla' (d**khead), perhaps understanding my true nature more than the other managers. ON LOSING TO LIVERPOOL IN 2005 IN ISTANBUL, HAVING LED 3-0 When that torture of a game was finished, we sat like a bunch of halfwits in the dressing-room... we were bloodthirsty zombies faced with an unforeseen problem – the blood was ours and they'd drank every last drop. We couldn't speak. We couldn't move. They'd mentally destroyed us. Insomnia, rage, depression, a sense of nothingness. We'd invented a new disease with multiple symptoms: Istanbul syndrome. I no longer felt like a player, and that was devastating enough. Even worse, I no longer felt like a man. That's right: for f**k's sake. Double f**k. The first words that come to my lips when I think of Istanbul. ON FERGUSON'S DECISION TO USE PARK JI-SUNG TO MAN-MARK HIM Even Ferguson, the purple-nosed manager who turned Manchester United into a fearsome battleship, couldn't resist the temptation. He's essentially a man without blemish, but he ruined that purity just for a moment when it came to me. A fleeting shabbiness came over the legend that night. On one of the many occasions when our paths crossed during my time at Milan, he unleashed Park Ji-sung to shadow me. The midfielder must have been the first nuclear-powered South Korean in history, in the sense that he rushed about at the speed of an electron. #Lfcsnewnumbereight #strongrumours You heard it here first* *you may have heard it elsewhere but now you've heard it here.
**** it, sign him, Bring carra back and stop Gerrard leaving. Liverpool OAPFC : pirlo would be minced in the PL, it's much more hectic than international football and the Italian league.
This is a classic press story fluffing 1. pirlo gives interview... mentions mls 2. press do big write up and select clubs who are not in italy as pirlo stated and may have ever been linked or ran foul of the guys talents. our name just got added once more.
this is another example of why lallana is so vital to us. depay? nah we have lallana to play left wing.. never mind he didn't ever do that Pirlo... god no lallana has better hair
you are soooooo late 80s. no self respecting metrosexual would rate that ****e please log in to view this image this is why he's worth 25mil. please log in to view this image
That's called style... the fave of whatever brand that is I kid you not he was and we still thought it was a good idea to sign that You need to stop thinking like its the 90s Its all about the style and the one trick he's got We actually got him cheap in this alternate reality
