Il Maestro

2014 World Cup - England v Italia - 14th June 2014.
Arena da Amazonia, Manaus, Brazil

Il Maestro orchestrating the Azzurri with the style and elegance that only he is capable of. The one highlight of that World Cup for Italy, but a truly memorable performance from Pirlo showcasing his class above everyone else on the pitch by dictating play in the sweltering humidity of Manaus. Andrea Pirlo, the standard of the perfect deep-lying playmaker.
