Andrea Pirlo is a midfielder from Italy born to Sinti Roma parents. He currently plays for AC Milan. In real life, he is considered by some to be perhaps the best deep-lying play-maker in the world and his stats reflect this.

Previous PES Installments

Pirlo has made all his Pro Evolution appearances with AC Milan and received a Preset Face in PES 4 where he was seen as one of the games best midfielders, this trend has continued throughout the installments for each game.

PES 2009

Pirlo is present in AC Milan's starting eleven but is now deemed a very old player much like the AC Milan squad with veteran's such as Clarence Seedorf, Filippo Inzaghi, Massimo Ambrosini and Alessandro Nesta, which is why many gamers who choose AC Milan in Master League completely overhaul the squad with younger players.

PES 2010

He features the card Pinpoint Pass so he is able to play quality passes from deep as well as once again featuring for the Italian national team.

Playing Style

Pirlo is a terrific midfielder in the game. He dictates games with his pinpoint short pass accuracy and he has the guile and technique to set up attacks with his high dribbling accuracy.

Pirlo works best, as in real life with a player considered to be a 'workhorse' like Gattuso and this is one of the reasons why AC Milan work so efficiently in the game.

He is among the best corner takers in the game, with brilliant free kick, swerve and long pass accuracy stats. He is also a threat from direct free-kicks with the same ability and his free-kick style is easy to use. Many liken him to Juninho, because they are both deadly with their passing, shooting and dead ball specialities.
