Happy Birthday to the Midfield Maestro!

And just like a maestro, he has led The Old Lady to their first triumpth in 6 years, and he turns 33 today. After spending 10 years at Milan one may have thought it was an odd acquisition, after all he was no spring chicken! Yet with his2 " bodyguards" in Aturu Vidal and Claudio Marchisio, any doubts were quickly dissolved. He could pass the ball with ease and perfect precision, and any time he did make a slight error in his play, it was met by confusion for anyone watching, because this is Pirlo, he doesn't make mistakes.
He has played 37 games in this long campaign and has never been substituted which shows you how important this man is to the success of Juventus. He may have only score three goals, but he has assisted 13 times with amazing results. He is also a great teacher as the two "whippersnappers" working with him in midfield have only gotten better! His control with the ball and his ability to dictate the game is probably the reason why Juve always have over 60% possession in each game they have played so far.
Happy Birthday Andrea and may all your wishes come true!
