Letting Pirlo leave the team was perhaps one of the biggest mistakes that former Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri had made. Pirlo was offered a contract for a year, but was sceptical about singing the contract as he had to change his position since Allegri wanted to use Massimo Ambrosini and Van Bommel in front of the defence.
“So I said ‘No, thanks’ to Milan, and chose Juve. Milan decided that I was no longer useful to them. I understood that immediately during our meeting,” he revealed later. “Allegri wanted to use other players in my position. During a long season injury problems can occur, but I believe that they should change something in the preparations at Milanello. During the season, many of my former teammates have said that they could feel my absence, but I’m happy. I won. When I was at Buffon’s wedding in June last year, people asked me if I was crazy because I had left Milan.”
“I then replied that when I decide to join another club, I do it because I want to win. And I also said that we would win the Scudetto. And now those people thank me, because they went and put money on us winning the Scudetto. Almost all of my former teammates at Milan congratulated me on winning the Scudetto.”
