God yeah. Don't get me wrong, Pirlo is incredible. I've just always had a soft-spot for those players, like Alonso, who can slot into almost any team without that team really having to adapt to them. I take it back though about preferring him to Pirlo, more like he's one of the modern eras most underrated players. Christ, the day I criticise Pirlo is the day I ... well I won't don't it. He's in that 'genius' category, alongside names like Xavi, that one simply doesn't fuck with.
