Pirlo is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the Serie A. An accurate passer, he has a deep-seated playmaking role at AC Milan and Italy. At Milan the game is focused around his ability to dictate play and control the game's tempo. A dead ball specialist, Pirlo is the first choice taker of corner and free kicks. In the 2005-2006 season Pirlo scored four times from free-kicks, matching the previous record (three times by Demetrio Albertini and one by Frank Rijkaard).
In Italy's first match in the world cup tournament, Pirlo scored the opening goal against Ghana, and subsquently set up a goal for Vincenzo Iaquinta to seal the 2-0 victory. He was named the "Man of the Match".
Pirlo played brilliantly throughout the semifinal against Germany, and he ultimately created a key play at the very end of extra time to give Italy a dramatic victory. At the 119th minute, Pirlo received a ball deflected just outside the German penalty area and kept possession for just enough time to provide a defence splitting assist to Fabio Grosso, who scored the opening goal. Moments later, Alessandro Del Piero scored again, Italy won 2-0, and Pirlo was named Man of the Match once again.
Pirlo's sparkling form was again in evidence against France in the 2006 World Cup Final on July 9. His passing proved vital for the Azzurri, and his corner kick produced Marco Materazzi's equalizing header ten minutes after France had opened the score. The match went to a penalty shoot-out, and Pirlo set a positive tone for his teammates by confidently scoring the first penalty kick. His performance during the match resulted in his being named the FIFA Man of the Match for a third time, more than any other player over the course of the tournament
Pirlo's fine form in Germany earned him the Bronze Ball, as he was voted the third best player of the tournament behind Zinedine Zidane and Fabio Cannavaro.

i think of Pirlo continues to be on perfect of his recreation, as a gradual presence interior the midfield and now that Juninho is very nearly retired; he's probable the wonderful loose kick taker interior the international. i could nonetheless somewhat have Xavi or Iniesta however.
