Silent leader, he's back.

This is a phrase that swept the football circle when Pirlo retired three years ago.

There is no doubt that in the eyes of many fans, he is one of the few football masters, and some positions are the only one in football, such as Andrea Pirlo, not before and not after.

Now, when Juventus suddenly announced that Andrea Pirlo picked up the team's U23 coach, people's memories were recalled again.

Unlike the rare questioning of status, Pirlo's career has some controversial qualities in his later years, which is closely related to his label-as an absolute leader of Italy, he has played in the top three of Serie A. most of the time, he tells stories about red and black and white.

For Serie A, Pirlo is an epoch-making figure, and even changed the whole historical pattern to some extent.

AC Milan fans are mixed about Andrea Pirlo.

The youth of the Brescia period and the hesitation of Inter years seem to pave the way for Pirlo's Rossoneri career.

Yang Yi does not meet, caresses Lingyun and cherishes himself; when the clock meets, what is the shame of playing running water?

Chollima is common, but Bole is not, fortunately Pirlo met Carlo Ancelotti and Gennaro Gattuso.

Carlo Ancelotti's transformation of the organizational lower back of Andrea Pirlo upended the history of football, and in those years, Milan fans were used to Gattuso's fierce protection of Pirlo.

Gennaro Gattuso with sleeping skin is the perfect midfielder in Milan's mind.

The word "sleeping skin" contains infinite love.

So when Pirlo joined Juventus in 2011, watching him continue his gorgeous performance at the Old Lady, Milan fans felt like gazing at a lover who was once as beautiful as a flower by his side, still flamboyant in the arms of others.

What's more, the Bianconeri subvert the newly established monarchy of the Rossoneri.

In retrospect, Pirlo's move to Juve in the summer of 2011 was an epoch-making event in Serie A history.

Until then, the Bianconeri have not really recovered from the shadow of Calciopoli, the team's chaotic signings and weak midfield, can not support the ambition to restore the monarchy, the seventh in the league for two consecutive seasons is the most intuitive manifestation.

It was the arrival of Pirlo that changed everything. Although he was 32 years old at that time, the freehand scheduling became more and more mature.

As a result, starting from the 12th season in 2011, Juve's midfielder really had the backbone. Pirlo infected the team with his master-like temperament and transformed the zebra midfielder.

Although Juve did not have absolute dominance in Serie An at that time, they played an unbeaten season to beat Milan to win the first Serie A title since the Dark Ages-perhaps not many people thought at that time. Juve's newly established dynasty will continue, and now nine consecutive titles are still unbroken.

From 2011 to 2015, Pirlo has been married to Juve for only four years, but these four years show the most mature and stable Pirlo.

Juve established the rule of Serie A, from the initial thrilling victory to the later ride off the dust, an Apennine giant has been truly molded.

Of course, this is not the credit of Pirlo alone, but his role is beyond doubt. Bogba has gradually grown into a world-class midfielder by his side.

Juve, led by Allegri, beat Dodt and Real Madrid to reach the Champions League final in 2014, which is an inspiring story for a team that played humiliated against Serie B eight years ago.

Xavi and Pirlo, two football masters, only played the last ten minutes, while the latter played the whole game.

After that game, European football's "double arrogance in midfield" said goodbye to their home teams and went to the battlefield outside the football center to gather up the last days of their career.

Time is always in a hurry, five years later, Juve is still the top player in Serie A, while Andrea Pirlo has already retired, over the age of 40.

Returning to being a coach is the choice of many football legends. Pirlo picked up the zebra whip and evoked a lot of emotional memories.

Juve fans will not forget his contribution, without this silent leader, the Zebra dynasty will be built later, and no one can predict the direction of Serie A.

Under the sky of Turin, Pirlo once wrote a brilliant pen with his feet, the melancholy of his hazy eyes.

The love you had when you clenched your fists will now be reproduced in another way.

The original hero went to the coaching bench, can he use his own football philosophy to brew another Renaissance?
