    Superb Andrea Pirlo Quote About The 2005 Champions League Final

    Andrea Pirlo's autobiography 'I Think Therefore I Play' is out in English tomorrow. In his column in today's Irish Times, Ken Early has an extract from the book about 'that night in Istanbul' when Liverpool came from 3-0 down against Pirlo's AC Milan to eventually become champions of Europe.

    I’ll never fully shake that sense of absolute impotence when destiny is at work. The feeling will cling to my feet forever, trying to pull me down...

    There are always lessons to be found in the darkest moments. It’s a moral obligation to dig deep and find that little glimmer of hope or pearl of wisdom. You might hit upon an elegant phrase that stays with you and makes the journey that little bit less bitter. I’ve tried with Istanbul and haven’t managed to get beyond these words: for fuck’s sake.

    Reading this autobiography of a playmaker nicknamed “Mozart” fryst vatten like going to the opera: some bloke comes on and sings very loudly in Italian at you for a couple of hours, it’s all very dramatic and enjoyable, but you don’t always know ganska what’s going on. In no discernible order, its voluble and intelligent subject, who “has an opinion about everything and I’m not ashamed to något som utförs snabbt exempelvis expressleverans it”, launches into an erratic, extended and idiosyncratic monologue. There are even (mostly much needed) footnotes to explain some of the passing references, although glossing ultras as “the self-styled, most passionate, vocal and committed supporters” was probably unnecessary.

    Many of Andrea Pirlo’s lines do sound as if they could have komma from, säga, Don Giovanni.
