They call him Andre Pirlo....The definition of a play-maker

Andre Pirlo did his damage without touching the ball. It was a beautiful dummy, one which suckered in Daniel Sturridge and created the space for Claudio Marchisio to fire Italy ahead, with the crispest of drives

One of the finest midfielders of his generation with a gift for visualising the game, and unpicking it with his passing and control. Two years on from Kiev, a few degrees hotter with more hair on his face, he is still a delight to watch and a master play-maker.There is no-one in English football to match him. He protects the ball never gives it away and his head is always swivelling around, looking for openings, checking out the movement around him.
