DBasia.news – Juventus legend Andrea Pirlo has the chance to enter the pitch once again. This time, one of the Australian clubs, Victoria Avondale, want to recruit Pirlo ahead of the FFA Cup.
Andrea Pirlo is one of the midfielders with high reputation in the world. Besides his talent in controlling the ball, the Italian man also had abundant experience.
Pirlo started his career path as a football player after joining the Brescia junior team in 1994. Five years later, Inter Milan realized Pirlo’s talent and approached him.
After Inter, Pirlo went to many clubs like AC Milan, Juventus, and recently New York FC, the club where he ended his career as a player last season.
Now, Pirlo has the chance to enter the pitch. Based on the news, Victoria Avondale want to use Pirlo’s service in the quarter-final match of FFA Cup against Sydney FC on September 19.
“We can only comment that we are waiting to hear from (Pirlo’s) management,” said an Avondale FC spokesperson.
The situation is reasonable. Above all, Victoria Avondale are behind Sydney FC even with Pirlo’s presence.
Recruiting a Europe player is common in Australian football. Previously in 2015, Heidelberg United recruited the Greece player Kostas Katsouranis for the quarter-final of FFA Cup against Melbourne City. However, they got defeated with 5 goals.
