Playmakers are back in favor

And for sure it fills pride when the changers, speakers in the same team, learning their ABC's game
Some elements of football tactics tend to reoccur later different time periods when the successful use of which seemed to have already forgotten. Previous artists comparing themselves with those who played their role at the moment. And for sure it fills pride when the changers, speakers in the same team, learning their ABC's game. 
Josep Guardiola and football the way Andrea Pirlo had just a few months. When still a young Italian attacking midfielder of Brescia has leased from Inter, the then coach Carlo Mazzone had seen it on not quite familiar position - for him deeply as a playmaker. He managed to impress the lease for half a year, but returned in inter, which belonged, and replenished the composition of Milan. At the same place in the Brescia artist, who came Andrea, according to him, always was – Josep Guardiola. Considering the past few years, it ironically mentioned that the teacher came into place. 
It is Guardiola in the majority felt (still counts?) example of deeply as a playmaker. However, at the end of the last century, new developments in tactics forced literally disappear footballers of this type, especially of top European teams. A preference was expressed for a clearer division between engaged in defensive midfielder and attacking functions centrhavom. This position is increasingly preferred to see such a "chained dog" who primarily destroy game opponent, and Claude Makelele in this light is instructive. 
Intensification of games in midfield together with more stringent requirements regarding the position of action led to a massive failure of "classic 10" that were so popular at the turn of the century. Pirlo was lucky enough to play with the three of them, namely, Roberto Baggio (Brescia), Manuel Rui Costa and Kaka. Perhaps the presence of their team and was one of the reasons that Andrea mentors have seen a much closer to your goal. 
At the same time, playing behind such masters of reference and understanding of the game, he took over they have this priceless experience, increase the quality of the ability to maintain the tempo, playing a precise pass to any distance, to dispose of the ball. And for those who love to play clean balls "dozen", it became a real find (it is worth noting that Pirlo and he reluctantly gets involved in the selection process, which was one of the reasons for his departure from Milan). Do not get lost it and the game, in which greater emphasis on attacking the flanks, the ability to find which is jinked a formidable weapon and Milan, and the Italian national team. 
It is the first and foremost quality are key players for the position that Pirlo makes him a role model. And the need for a player who is one with a vector of attack, start with the area of the field, which often predetermine the battle fight result, defined the Renaissance as deeply as a playmaker. At the same time, identical players do not happen, and other representatives of this position on the field is quite have a right to exist. 
Mistakenly will assume that this was the cause of this age and slowness of sex. He and Pirlo, explosive speed is not famous, but the presence of the beautiful vision of the field and the ability to give an accurate and fast pass at any distance, immediately dispose of the ball, allowing them to more than compensate for the lack of movement on the field (though the run across them, it is worth noting, is quite real). 
At the same time, there are between them and quite a significant difference.

Football Genius: Andrea Pirlo

Andrea Pirlo was born 19 May 1979 in Flero, Lombardy. He is an Italian World Cup winning footballer who currently plays for Serie A club Juventus, and for the Italian national team. 
He is usually deployed as a deep-lying playmaker for both Juventus and Italy and is regarded as one of best players in this position. Praised for his inventive play and his long passing ability, he is also a set-piece specialist. Pirlo has played for the Italian youth teams U-15, U-18 and U-21, captaining and leading the latter to victory in the 2000 as the Golden Player and Top Scorer of the tournament. He joined the Italian senior side during the qualification round for World Cup 2002 and captained the national team to a bronze medal in the 2004 Olympics. Later, he was instrumental in their victory in the 2006 World Cup. He was named man of the match three times, including the final, more than any other player in the tournament, and ultimately won the Bronze Ball. 
He came in third and second in IFFHS World Playmaker of the Year awards in 2006 and 2007, respectively. Fellow players on the Italian team gave him the nickname "l'architetto" (the architect) because his long passes frequently set up goal-scoring opportunities for the Azzurri. 
With Milan, he has won two UEFA Champions League (2003 and 2007), two European Super Cups (2003 and 2007), two Scudetto (2004 and 2011), an Italian Super Cup (2004), a FIFA Club World Cup (2007), and the Italian Cup in 2003. Pirlo was born in Flero, Lombardy, Italy. His brother Ivan plays for a Serie C2 club in Brescia. Pirlo made his debut for Brescia against Reggina. After breaking into the Brescia first team, Pirlo was spotted by Internazionale coach, Mircea Lucescu who signed the playmaker. 
However, Pirlo was unable to break into the first squad and Internazionale finished 8th in the 1998–99 Serie A campaign. Pirlo was shipped off on loan to the club he made his debut against in 1995, Reggina. After an impressive season he returned to Internazionale but was once again unable to break into the first squad making just 4 league appearances and spent the second half of the season on loan at former club, Brescia. After 3 seasons on the Internazionale books, Pirlo was sold to fierce rivals, Fatih Terim's Milan for 35 billion Italian lire. 
Pirlo started his career as an offensive midfielder until coach Carlo Ancelotti developed for him a deep-seated playmaking role at Milan. Since then, he has formed a formidable partnership with Gennaro Gattuso in the midfield and has earned the nickname "the metronome" for the way he sets the team's rhythm. He led Serie A in the 2002–03 season in four special categories, passes played (2589), ball possession (123 hours played and 39 minutes), successful balls (661) and successful passes (2093). This implies that he averaged almost 90 passes per game. He led Milan in minutes played for the 2006–07 season with 2,782. In October 2007, he was nominated for the 2007 FIFA World Player of the Year Award but it went to Milan teammate Kaká instead. After Kaká and coach Carlo Ancelotti left Milan in the summer of 2009, Chelsea tested Milan's resolve by bidding $12m and Claudio Pizarro for Pirlo. That transfer windows the two clubs has also swapped Cristian Brocchi for Guly; Paolo Ginestra for Matteo Bogani. 
The deals later reported by press were also aimed to create "false profit" by inflating the transfer fees in the swap deal, which Ginestra and Bogani both created €3.5million "profit" for both clubs but in terms of registration rights. 
The club rejected the offer and Pirlo was said to be contemplating a transfer request. On 5 August, Berlusconi decided not to sell Pirlo who said he was overjoyed and wanted to end his career at Milan. On 21 October 2009, Pirlo scored a notable 30 meter goal in Milan's 3–2 win over Real Madrid. It was at Milan where he found his true strides developing into a world class player. With Milan, he won two Scudetto and two Champions League titles. He also won an Italian Cup and two UEFA Super Cups with Milan in 2003 and 2007. However, his most forgettable incident was the penalty miss during 2005 UEFA Champions League Final, as he found his spot kick was saved by Jerzy Dudek. 
On 2 October 2010, Pirlo scored a 40-yard goal against Parma to give Milan their first away win of the 2010–11 season. On 18 May 2011, Pirlo confirmed that he would be leaving Milan at the end of the 2010-11 season, after a mutual decision not to renew his contract. Juventus have announced that they have signed midfielder Andrea Pirlo as a free agent on a contract that will last until 2014. “The contract signed is from July 1, 2011 until June 30, 2014.” After the transfer to Juventus, Pirlo stated that going to Juventus was not an incorrect choice. His first match for Juventus was a friendly match against Sporting Lisbon, although he played well he couldn't prevent Juventus from losing 2-1. In the fifth game of the season, Pirlo faced his old team Milan for the first time, and while he did not score, he dictated the tempo of the game to lead his new club to a 2-0 win. Pirlo captained Italy to an Under-21 European Championship in 2000 and semi-finalists in 2002. Pirlo played for Italy at the 2000 Summer Olympics, won the bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics.
Pirlo was a member of the Italian Squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. In Italy's first match in the tournament, Pirlo scored the opening goal against Ghana, and subsequently set up a goal for Vincenzo Iaquinta to seal the 2–0 victory. He was named the Man of the Match. In the second match, he set up a diving header for Alberto Gilardino from a set piece which proved to be vital in their 1–1 draw against the United States. In the semifinal against Germany, he assisted on the opening goal in the dying minutes and was again named Man of the Match. In the final against France, his corner kick produced Marco Materazzi's equalizing header ten minutes after France had opened the score. The match went to a penalty shoot-out, in which he scored. He was named Man of the Match for a third time, and was voted third-best player of the tournament. 
Pirlo made his first return to the San Siro yet again in a friendly match which the game unfortunately went AC Milans favour 2-1. Pirlo made his first appearance in Serie A for Juventus against Parma in season 2011-2012. He lobbed in the ball into the box for Stephan Lichtsteiner who dribbled it past the goalkeeper and opened the score. Later, he provided another assist for Claudio Marchisio which made the game 4-0. The match eventually ended in 4-1, marking strong start for Juventus in the new season. 
Pirlo was not be able to play the first two games in the 2010 FIFA World Cup for Italy, due to recent injuries. He came off the bench for Italy late in the match on 24 June against Slovakia. Even with his help in orchestrating a renewed Italian offense, Pirlo could not prevent Italy from being knocked out of the first round. Andrea Pirlo and his wife Deborah Roversi married in 2001 and have two children: son Niccolò (born 2003) and daughter Angela (born 2006).
