The 33-year old
Azzuri player has been outstanding in Euro 2012.Pirlo who joined Juventus from
AC Milan last season, has found his lost form back helping his club win
the Seria A title after nine years. With 13 assists, Pirlo brought glory days
back to the Turin based club. But his success did not end there as Cesare
Prandelli named the former AC Milan playmaker in the 23-man squad for
Ukraine-Poland Euro 2012.
Pirlo has also
been tipped to win the Ballon d'Or, surpassing both Cristiano
Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. He has won Serie A title with Juventus this
season with astonishing performance in this season.
Pirlo was too good
for the likes England as well as favourites Germany. Against England the
33-year old midfielder completed 117 passes, (including extra-time) the most in
the tournament. Pirlo's passing ability will be tested by Spain's midfield
especially Xavi. Both players have reached the peak in their careers but are
also the most influential players in their respective teams.
