[@aazadmuhammad4643]

The younger generation of the football world will never understand the beauty & poise players like Pirlo, Carrick, Kroos, Xabi Alonso (just to name a few) brings to the game. When it comes to the Anchor position (or also known as ‘Regista’ position) It’s not about who is the strongest nor who is the most defensive-minded. It’s about ball retention, ball distribution & pitch awareness all in one. As I’m a 90’s chap, to me personally, Xavi & Pirlo were the greatest ‘Regista’s to ever grace a football pitch, & i’m not discounting any players before them of course. Awesome video as always Piotr ! I have subscribed !

It's not the speed of thought, its how often he scans the field. True he knows where his team mates like to move, but he is forever scanning when not in possession.

[@zoommash7238]

Having witnessed both Pirlo and Xavi‘s entire career. I have always regarded Pirlo as the superior player of the two and the best midfielder of his generation. If Pirlo were surrounded by world class players like those surrounded Xavi, he would have achieved everything Xavi would have achieved and more. There can be a Xavi once a while, but there can never be another Pirlo. Pirlo is just Unique. Pirlo is the best gift sent down from the Heaven down to the Earth by the love of the GOD! In Pirlo, I truly believe god does exist! Pirlo is a GOD-LEVEL Midfielder!

[@itacool6457]

completely agreed

[@juanestebankruhsanmguel1960]

problaby pirlo is a better player but the influence xavi have in the game no other player had in the history

[@brandinogarcia9688]

i couldnt agree more!Pirlo is the best playmaker to ever step on a football pitch

[@jaconova]

lol, very unfair. I would say BOTH are midfield legends on their own right,

[@jeanlouis731]

Iniesta could have played regista but he had also the pace, I personnaly think Iniesta is the greatest midfielder of the XXI. And he has been at the for more years than Pirlo and Xavi who only became unavoidable in 2008, so as Iniesta who was 4 years younger

[@CleFesse]

I remember the 1st year at Juventus and his assist against Parma... his last minute goal against Torino... his freekick against Napoli and Roma... his amazing long passes and tricks under pressure and always composed: to me he's the only player a football player should watch 1st.

[@dpcgooner]

ko

[@spacefertilizer]

Favorite CDM and I love players that have him as their biggest inspiration, as it often reflects in their own game. A good idol to have as a young player.

[@primocalcio2141]

I think its also worht noting Pirlo zonal defensive approach meant his interception stats were high even if his tackling stats weren't. Pirlo recognized his physical capablilities but learnt how to utilize his strengths better than anyone else. Great video man really enjoyed it?

[@FelipeFinelli6088]

excellent analysis and nice soundtrack too, Pirlo was the best deep midfilder I´ve seen play.

[@desiarsenalfan1020]

This is a superb video... I think this is an example how a video for analysing things should be made. The video was paused at the right moments and was shown with precision using lines and circles. This way he has explained exactly what the narrator wants to say...

[@davidac4532]

Brilliant! Great analysis! And Pirlo has been always one of my fav midfielders ever

[@henrysocialclub7437]

Great work again. My favorite part about Pirlo's game was his subtle movements after he made a pass creating if necessary the ball could be played back to him and another pass could be made. Thank you for your excellent work

[@sinisak.138]

3 best playmakers (that i watched) are Xavi, Iniesta and Pirlo...all 3 different in style but world class. One interesting thing is all 3 of them often had more then 12km covered in 90minutes. Once i have seen Xavi had over 15km covered... its crazy facts that people overlook couse of how easy it looks to play and how elegant all 3 of them were

[@Danny-wv8ec]

Pirlo ,Del Piero ,Baggio ... the glory days of Italian football . 1 week to Russia 2018 and Italy is nowhere to be seen.

[@vinnolano]

Robby Baggio was right in 2011 when he was put in charge of the Italian youth technical development. He attempted to change Italian football from the youth on up. He wrote a 500 page book on his plan. He ended up quitting like one or two years later basically because those in charge of Italian football dismissed him. He was a legendary player and football visionary. He was 100 percent correct and damn shame that he quit the game forever. Italy would not have had a dry spell I believe if he had been left in that position

[@Danny-wv8ec]

@@vinnolano Baggio is the reason i’m an Azzurri and a Juve fan, i was mesmerized as a kid when i used to see him on tv in the early 90s here in Beirut. He’s my favorite football player ever.

@@vinnolano oh my god i remember watching the whole 94 world cup at our summer vacation house in the country, i was 10 years old. You’re so lucky that you saw them live, Baggio was insane after the group stage. I remember the Bulgaria match like it was yesterday, Stoikovich was one hell of a player and then there was Yordanov who has a special place in my heart because my grandpa’s name is Yordan(Jordan in English) and it’s a Greek name (my family is of Greek origin). It’s really weird i remember the 94 world cup much better than i remember the 2006.

[@ShopHeirlooms]

One of the two reasons I chose to support Juventus when I started watching soccer in 2014. A true genius. He’s like the JKidd of soccer. I think he’s one of the best to ever play, like top 10. I know goal scoring is what’s praised, but he made it a helluva lot easier for his teammates to score. At every club. On the highest levels. On the biggest stages. It still hurts me we couldn’t get that UCL trophy for him & Buffon smh. But #ForzaJuve, #FinoAllaFine!

[@AlCasa52]

06 was collective. Italy dominated. Not a single goal scored until the final. One own goal vs usa. Cannavaro was the heart of the defense. But buffon, zambrotta, gattuso, de rossi all kept the ball out of the net. Cannavaro was mvp

[@OPTIONALWATCH]

He's my favorite all time playmaker midfielder. When Pirlo could not find openings and he would go forward and create dangers of all sorts. I was always amazed because it's like you know to a point that is coming but somehow the defense gets pressured with no time to react because they were worried about the filtered pass to the offense. BTW, great music selection. I think it goes great with the master Pirlo since wine, pirlo and classical guitar go well together. . I'm tired of that rap and overused electronic songs.

[@thathandsomedevil0828]
