Confederations Cup 2013: Top 5 Players to watch out for in Italy vs Japan

Andrea Pirlo

The architect, as he is fondly called, celebrated his 100th appearance with a massive goal. His free kick sent the crowd into a dizzy. His dead ball skills will be a huge advantage to the Azzurri in this competition. He was his usual self in the midfield, dictating the pace of the game and making those long range passes with unending ease. Italy can rely on his abilities a few more years; his appetite seems to be growing with his achievements. Long live the maestro!
