What struck me most was how they kept on running at half-time. To a man: no exceptions. When the referee, Urs Meier, blew his whistle they all shot off down the tunnel as if they were Usain Bolt. They couldnt stand still even in that 15-minute period designed specifically to let you draw breath or at most just walk about. We were chasing shadows all night. Their players were crazy buzz bombs flying around all over the place. I dont have any proof, so what follows isnt an accusation - Id never allow myself to go that far. Its simply a nasty thought Ive occasionally let percolate in the intervening years. For the first and only time in my life, Ive wondered if people Id shared a pitch with might have been on something.....Andre Pirlo on Deportivo Players
