Interviewer: What would you say to Marcello Lippi about the last world cup and about your experience here at Juventus if you talked to him?
Pirlo: I’d say him that I am content, I even talked to him in the summer.
Lippi is on the telephone
Interviewer: Lippi, you have coached Andrea, how is he in the dressing room?
Lippi: He seems to be a very closed person but it is not the case as he always speaks with others and makes jokes. He is a model for other players as a footballer but also as a man.
Interviewer: How does it feel to see him in Juventus’ colors?
Lippi: It’s a great satisfaction. Pirlo became a point of reference in Juventus. There has been a lot of great players in the history of Juventus and Pirlo is one of them. There are `currently two great players(fuoriclasse)at Juventus but at the world cup but both were injured (Pirlo and Buffon) and they couldn’t help us.
Pirlo: Thank you for everything. I still regret missing most of the games of the world cup and that I couldn’t help Italy to qualify for the knockout stage.
Lippi: Yes, I am sorry. It was very difficult to replicate our previous world cup and it didn’t work out for us. I am happy that he’s doing well at Juventus. The last time I saw him he was more tanned Finally, everyone is doing well at Juventus.
Interviewer:So I hear that you are a wine amateur and that you like agriculture, the soil, etc.
Pirlo: Yes, I have some lands in the countryside...
He then tastes wine and try to guess the bottles of wine in question, he got some right.
Interviewer: When you will retire, will you go to live in the countryside?
Pirlo: I don’t know yet, it has not been decided.
Interviewer: You seem to like having Alessandro’s as roommates as you were with Nesta at Milan and now with Matri.
Pirlo: Yes. Nesta is a great guy. We’ve been roommates for 10 years at Milan and with the national team. He then realizes that Nesta is on the phone.
Nesta: He says hello. Nesta explains how they communicate by phone and how Pirlo is a funny and witty person. He says then that it displeases him that Pirlo left Milan as they are very good friends and I miss him. However, football is like this and these things happen.
When we were roommates, we played fifa on the playstation and we did mostly Juventus against Milan games. I was playing with Juventus and Andrea was playing with Milan. Andrea is a good guy, he helped me when I had problems.
Interviewer: Andrea, I hear that you are a good father.
Pirlo: Yes, we are not numerous at home so when I am there I play a lot with my kids.
Interviewer: Is it true that your daughter likes football?
Pirlo: Yes, she watches a lot of football.
Interviewer: And your wife?
Pirlo: She’s not very interested by football but she talks a bit about it with us sometimes.
Pirlo: I’d say him that I am content, I even talked to him in the summer.
