>rating Verratti over Pirlo,who won multiple CLs SeriA and a world cup all as the center of the team
The guy is gonna be great but he has done nothing yet
>>64752319
I'm rating quality, not accomplishments.
Verratti in the past 2 years played better football than I have ever seen Pirlo play, and I've been following football since 93.
Trophies will come in time.
>>64752319
>Pirlo, who won multiple CLs SeriA and a world cup all as the center of the team
Is there a more based Italian midfielder than Pirlo? He has the silverware, the great career, the looks and the swag.
Wait what am I saying he IS the most based Italian midfielder.
Is he the most based midfielder? More than, dare I say it, Xavi?
Could have surpassed Baggio if it wasn't for his knee injury in '98
>>64752381
Pffff Baggio had 7 (seven) surgeries on his knees and still was better than Del Piero ever was

>Verratti in the past 2 years played better football than I have ever seen Pirlo play
i strongly disagree, i dont think you saw him in his peak at Milan
>>64752355
Well Pirlo doesnt still live with his parents
For me he was some kind of god growing up, but he was really just a very good player with all that suspicious muscle growing.
Worst than Baggio and worst than Totti.
>>64752437
that's just silly
he was by far the ayy-league's best player, even at nearly 40 years old
>>64752447
I've seen Pirlo's entire csreer including Inter and Brescia.
I don't think you've seen Verratti other than the occasional NT game.
>>64752457
Any other examples of jacked, manlet enganche/trequartista types?
>>64752339
Milan Pirlo >>> Verratti
I've watched both, and Verratti might play with more flair but he doesn't have Pirlo's vision, consistency and tends to disappear for long periods in the game.
Has great potential though
>>64752509
MESSI

>Comparing Veratti to these guys
whatchu doing nigga
Agree that Baggio was best of the lot though
>>64752509
Gianfranco Zola

>consistency, disappears for long periods in game
applies as easily to Pirlo, even during his prime years at Milan.

I really dislike how Pirlo is becoming the next reddit meme player a la Zidane and Scholes.
>>64752612
>Pirlo
hello, reddit. Pirlo is literally legitimately one of the absolute greatest midfielders ever. WC 2006 he was essential, just like Cannavaro and Buffon and he was essential for literally all games, same as he was for the CLs he won with Milan. Get your fucking shiteater memester face out of here. And Zidane isn't reddit either, it only become silly when somebody says he's THE goat, when in reality he's just one of the best ever, but not the best. I know you kids like to be contrarian for the sake of being contrarian and Zidane is hated because he's le Muslim la and has a horrible fanbase but that literally discredits nohow his career, skills, beautiful play and achievements.

Thank you germanbro for speaking the truth. Also dubs confirm.
>>64753700
So we should just ignore (relative) inconsistency when comparing/discussing/ranking players?
>>64752187
The messi of the Italian game.
Great for the one club
Wouldn't make it anywhere else

Baggio is the GOAT modern italian forward, no question
Del Piero and Totti are one step below
>>64753865
Totti and Del Piero at the same level?
>>64753874
in terms of individual quality yes, maybe Totti a tiny bit better
Del Piero won much much more though
>>64753874
More or less, yes. Totti probably edges it but they are there
>>64753834
The only years where you can say that about Pirlo was in his last season and a half with Milan. I don't get where you are getting this inconsistency thing from
Was at the game when he scored a screamer against Perth Glory, we booed the shit out of him but he was a good player to have in the A-League
>>64752187
One Based motherfucker

>we booed the shit out of him
rude Tbh
Sydney FC legend.
Demigod tier
Respek for staying with Juve when they fell to série B
Not as good as Baggio, perhaps slightly worse than Totti, but still amazing player
Best Italian offensive player of all times, after Baggio
Totti was better but

What did he mean by this?
>>64752187
He had the greatest first touch of any player I'd seen in the flesh until I saw David Silva
Soccer isn't even a sport, at least not originally. It was an activity. There was an article about it's origins by the top "football" writer in England awhile back (can't remember his name, Mohammed something). Anyways, it started strictly as a way to shed pent-up homosexual urges. Back then of course, homosexuality was taboo, and European men at the time (and now of course) all had strong homosexual desires, but couldn't even consider masturbation to quell these thoughts, as, due to societal pressures at the time, even thinking about men (this was natural to them) brought about all kinds of shame. Thus, soccer was born. I wish I could find the article, this fine Englishman does a much better job of explaining it.

KEK, literally the GOAT Sydney FC player m8

Keep that shit up America and we'll have to send you to one of those God camps.

don't be mad
Have you noticed all the best soccer players are either italian or of italian blood (messi, maradona)
why?

Great player, would put him on the same level as Totti. Both Totti and Del Piero are on a level just below Baggio. Wish Totti and Del Piero could have done more at the international level. Yes I know, they both won a WC, but I'm talking about dominate and carry the team through a tournament or two. The 2002 team was so good and was the year for both of them to lead, but we all know what happened.
