Цитаты Andrea Pirlo
„I thought about quitting after Istanbul because nothing made sense any more…I no longer felt like a man. All of a sudden, football had become the least important thing, precisely because it was the most important: a very painful contradiction. I didn't dare look in the mirror in case my reflection spat back at me. The only possible solution I could think of was to retire.“
On the losing the 2005 Champions League final to Liverpool
Ibid [pp. 84-86]
„I've got a fair few kilometres under my belt, but it's the short distances that wear me out. They're tests of your mental stamina, rather than your speed. For Neil Armstrong, it was walking on the surface of the moon and, in my case, the ultra-green pitch of the Olympiastadion.“
On the 2006 World Cup Final
Ibid [pp. 31-32]
„I perceive the game in a different way. It's a question of viewpoints, of having a wide field of vision. Being able to see the bigger picture.“
