Valencia head coach Gennaro Gattuso has praised the playing qualities of his former Milan partner Andrea Pirlo.
Andrea Pirlo and Gennaro Gattuso"Pirlo had something that is hard to find in the current generation of players - long passing football. Now, the attack from deep is made through short passes. God has blessed Pirlo with incredible qualities. He had four eyes. He knew how to choose a position on the field, how to move without the ball, shorten the distance. Now many teams have lost that, like many other things.
We talked to Andrea about this topic. Our idea was to play vertically and he didn't like short passes. It was a completely different football back then,” Gattuso was quoted as saying by AS.
