I've got a fair few kilometres under my belt, but it's the short distances that wear me out. They're tests of your mental stamina, rather than your speed. For Neil Armstrong, it was walking on the surface of the moon and, in my case, the ultra-green pitch of the Olympiastadion.

— Andrea Pirlo

More quotes by Andrea Pirlo

For me, it's always better to keep chasing down the guy in front and maybe finish second, rather than stopping altogether.

Swearing's my release, and the one weapon I have to defend myself against destiny when it elects to strike without pity.

I like to think of myself as a director, on the pitch and in life

I perceive the game in a different way. It's a question of viewpoints, of having a wide field of vision. Being able to see the bigger picture.

I strike dead balls alla Pirlo. Each shot bears my name and they're all my children.
