From the outside - an elegant personality characterized by a very calm manner. That's how the football world now sees the 38-year-old Andrea Pirlo, who has already ended his career. The Italian announced yesterday that he is retiring from professional football. His last stop in his career was "New York City", but before that, the midfielder played in Italy and spent most of his years at the "Milan" club. It was from the times at "Milan" that one of the biggest football bad boys, Gennaro Gattuso, shared memories of A. Pirlo. However, the Italian surprised the public - he revealed that A. Pirlo enjoyed playing pranks and jokes, but G. Gattuso always maintained a great relationship with him. "You all see him as an angelic-faced man, but in reality, he is a real prankster, always joking around and never standing still," said G. Gattuso. "One day, when we were still playing for Milan, I was eating and left my phone on the table, and he took it and sent a message to the club president (Galliani - ed. note) offering my sister," G. Gattuso recalled.
