Player expectations for next year ! (Andrea Pirlo)

Last year Andrea Pirlo had a great year playing in the centre of midfield. After his free transfer from Milan many people thought his career at the top level was over but as he has proved for Juventus and Italy is that he is still a class central midfielder and despite his physical capabilities falling his technical skills are just as good as they ever have been.

I expect next year to be if I'm honest one of Pirlo's last. With the game getting more physical, Pirlo's old age has meant that he is not able to be as physical as others. The past years he has been able to play his own game no matter how fast or slow the game is but I fear if the game is more physical then not only will he not be able to string his passes together as well he will also get injured more and he will not be able to play a whole game. However many people thought this last year and he proved every one wrong so hopefully he can prove many people wrong again because he truly is one of the best technical players in the world.
