Andrea Pirlo : (2) " People compare me to Verratti, and I do really like him, but we have very different playing styles. " - Andrea Pirlo " All I’m after is a few square metres to be myself. A space where I can continue to profess my creed: take the ball, give it to a team-mate, my team-mate scores. It’s called an assist, and it’s my way of spreading happiness. " - Andrea Pirlo
