Andrea Pirlo on the night Pep Guardiola tried to sign him for FC Barcelona - I didnt need to be asked twice. In I went. The room was furnished in sober fashion and there was some red wine on the table. Always a good start, I muttered to myself. Make yourself comfortable, Andrea, he began, his Italian absolutely perfect. He began to tell me about Barcelona, saying that its a world apart, a perfect machine that pretty much invented itself. He wore a white shirt and a pair of dark trousers whose colour matched that of his tie. He was elegant in the extreme, much like his conversation. Thank you for agreeing to meet me. We need you here, Andrea. Were already very strong, I really couldnt ask for better, but youd be the icing on the cake. Were looking for a midfielder to alternate with Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets, and that midfielder is you. Youve got all the attributes to play for Barcelona, and one in particular – youre world class. Via Guardian football
