Kamuolio burtininkas Andrea Pirlo oficialiai baigė savo šlovingą karjerą.
38-erių italas sužaidė paskutines rungtynes "New York City" ekipoje ir pasitraukė į užtarnautą poilsį.
Socialiniuose tinkluose futbolo gerbėjai ir pasaulio garso klubai dėkojo legendai už išskirtines akimirkas bei citavo įsimintiniausias saugo frazes.
"Nejaučiu spaudimo. 2006 metų liepos 9 dienos popietę miegojau ir žaidžiau "Playstation", o vakare iškovojau pasaulio čempiono titulą", - anksčiau yra kalbėjęs A.Pirlo.
Istoriniam žaidėjui pagarbą išreiškė jo buvusios komandos - Turino "Juventus" ir "Milan", kurios vardino žaidėjo iškovotus titulus ir apdovanojo įspūdingais epitetais.
