Andrea Pirlo

On the first training session Pogba had with Juventus, the players were laughing. We were not laughing for any other reason than we were just in total disbelief that this player with so much obvious ability was able to leave the club the size of Manchester United for free - and I think Juventus are still laughing. ”

I've never told anyone, but my ambition is to become the leading all-time scorer of free kicks in Serie A. ”

It would actually be a dream way to end my time in Turin, by winning the Champions League. ”

I was lucky enough to play for the top three Italian clubs during the golden era of Italian football, so I have no regrets. ”

There were times we were kept in our dressing room until late at night because it wasn't safe to go home. Our bus would get attacked, the tires slit. ”

Right from the moment I arrived at Juve, I could immediately sense the club's will to win, the determination to go as far as possible as quickly as possible. ”

After the wheel, the PlayStation is the best invention of all time. ”

As the years go by, you have to realise when it is the right time to do something different. ”

Scoring from a dead-ball brings me massive satisfaction. It sets me up as an example for other players to follow, copy, and perhaps even emulate over the course of time. For them, I'm a Juninho Pernambucano 2.0, a Brazilian with a Brescia accent. ”

You can be lucky for a few years, but in the end, your defects will emerge. The reality is different. People are watching you, and those who know how to play will progress, while those who don't will remain in the lower levels. ”
