<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Pirlo's profile could not be much higher, having competed in the Champions League final in May 2015 and then embarking on a new career signing with MLS side New York City FC in July 2015. The vibrancy, humor and vivid insight that carry Pirlo's autobiography along confounds his image as a dead-eyed assassin on the field of play. All the big names are in there: Lippi, Ancelotti, Conte, Maldini, Shevchenko, Seedorf, Buffon, Kaka, Nesta, Costacurta, Gattuso, Berlusconi and Ronaldo ("the real one"). But they're not always in their work clothes. We hear Berlusconi playing the piano and telling "various types" of joke at Milan's training ground. We see Pirlo and Daniele De Rossi drawing Nesta's ire as they take him on a mystery tour of the German countryside in a hire car days before a World Cup semi-final. And we smell the aftermath of Filippo Inzaghi's graphically described pre-match routine.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"If you want to learn about the best and what it takes to be the best, start by reading this title. It's a must have for fans of Italian soccer, especially those that have followed [Pirlo] to MLS."--<i>InternationalSoccerNetwork.com </i>10/28/2015<br><br>"Like its author, Andrea Pirlo, <i>I Think Therefore I Play</i> is short, subtle and imaginative. It is football as art and philosophy rather than warfare." --<i>London Times</i><br><br>"Refrains from self-justification and score-settling, preferring to display a mischievous wit and an acute gift for observation." --<i>Guardian</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Andrea Pirlo </b>has been the playmaker for each of Italy's big three clubs--Inter, Milan and Juventus.
