Pirlo on MLS

>"It’s a very hard league to play in. It’s very physical, there’s a lot of running. So there is a lot of physical work and to me, in my mind, too little play,” said Pirlo.

What did he mean by this?

I'm fucking old, man. This league isn't made for manlets like me.

Little focus on tactics, lots of focus on tackling and running like headless chicken.

All physical work and too little play make Andrea a dull boy.

*buys a boat*
oh yeah yeah mls is great
*buys a lambo*
... with all that running
*eats some pasta*
and not even talk about kicking
*buys a condo*

The league is nothing but pace babies with no skill. Especially in defense. They don't even teach tactics to defenders in this country, sadly.

He's trying to justify why he looks like absolute garbage for NYCFC. The easiest thing in the world for Italian players to do is blame the lack of 'le classy tactics' for their own shortcomings (i.e 7-0 losses). It's their favourite past-time.

He knew what he was letting himself in for when he joined MLS, but his greedy wop mentality got the better of him, otherwise he would've stayed in Italy brushing his hair in the mirror and getting his beard moisturised with carbonara sauce.

if a game has many technical mistakes, you have to work alot to get the ball back. i under stand what he's trying to say. It's more satisfying to run alot when your team is in possesion but running after the ball is just annoying

Pirlo is one sexy motherfucker. Pity he's shit

he meant the mls is shit

that's why his form has been so poor right

No, his form is shit because he is an old man.

pirlo is over the hill, it's not the mls's fault that the players won't just let him dribble around without challenging him

On par with the "barcelona play the right way" meme, this is my favorite


>get BTFO 0-7
>blame the league

I like you Fritz.

He mustve aged 15 years one second after signing an MLS contract eh?

the mls is a pretty physical league even though the tactics and technique are shit, so it isnt really a good retirement league for euro players, especially ones that were never really that athletic

He means that the MlelS coaches favour the physical side of the game, ignoring the more technical/tactical aspects of it, which are, arguably, more important

He means he can't dive at the slightest hint of contact while jogging a field for 90 minutes

>the mean scary americans are playing too rough a bloo bloo

>taking anything away from the class and career that pirlo has
