The farewell of Pirlo. The time has come to say goodbye to a great beacon of national football, after the captain's greeting Francesco Totti just a while ago and recently Buffon. Years pass for them too, who seem to have hidden their painting in the attic. But as with the others, you never get used to the idea that something is about to end, even if the decisive moment has come.
Monday to San Siro “The Master's Night” was staged. Andrea Pirlo, one of the major campers of today's generation, for the occasion brought together former companions in adventure and misfortune who have marked the history of this sport. A special match with moments of intense emotions and a lot of magic as a corollary. All accompanied by a great quality of play.
And then the rogue nostalgia the one that wet the eyes of many fans present in the stadium and kept many spectators from home glued to the TV.
A heartfelt farewell to Pirlo
One of the funniest moments was undoubtedly Christian Vieri's goal. Pirlo made fun of everyone for the punishment. He invented an assist by creating a comic scene that aroused everyone's laughter. Then he walked the pitch without a shirt, happy to have scored.
But the show certainly did not end on the playing field. Once they retired, the real show began in the locker room and was immortalized on social media. The former national center forward was in fact unleashed with his team Stories su Instagram, harassing the other guests of the evening, in particular Gattuso e Cassano.
One of the first to be recovered was the current AC Milan coach who, persecuted by his former teammate, pretended to slap Vieri, not to make him shoot videos.
Then the former Golden Ball and Vieri began to tease I growl: "You are always nervous, always aggressive," Ronaldo told him. The former number 32 reminded him that from now on he will no longer be on the pitch, and that there is no reason to be aggressive.
A farewell so heartfelt as to organize a match in his honor to celebrate "his ten best years". This is how he defined the hours spent on the playing field.
The words of emotion
“I will not be able to be present for this special match. Hello Maestro ". Fabio Cannavaro greets the Maestro. He will not be able to be live with him at the San Siro to greet him. His thoughts fly from the Twitter social network. The photo shows them in one of those historical hugs, rich in football history as well as emotions, a hug immortalized during that famous 2006 World Cup won by Italy. Even if it is not there, it makes its presence felt.
Many have expressed themselves, including the opinion of Carlo Ancelotti, former Rossoneri coach, who said to Sky Sport's microphones:
"Having Pirlo in the team was wonderful, he was a great champion who has always made a difference. His role as playmaker? Playing further back allowed him to enhance his qualities, but no one could think of such a career. Andrea apparently seemed without personality, then you knew him a little and he was formidable in everything. A symbol for Italian football. Didn't he win the Ballon d'Or? We know how these things go, it is a prize linked more to the attackers. This absence, however, does not change his career ".
