Andrea Pirlo

Image
                                           Andrea Pirlo Andrea Pirlo is a very  well known, hero of the game. He is Italian and has had an extremely successful career. He retired in 2017. He began his footballing career at an Italian club called Brescia who play in the Calcio B, which is essentially the 2nd flight in Italy. He spent 3 years here, playing 47 games. He was very good at Brescia, so he attracted many big clubs, all desperate for his signature. Andrea decided to go to Inter Milan as at the time, they were the driving force in Italy. He once again spent 3 years here before he wanted a new challenge. After 2 loan moves, he signed for AC Milan, also in Italy. This was a huge move for him, as he was going to be their main man and was receiving a huge wage. Andrea settled in Milan and spent 11 years there, playing 284 games, scoring 34 goals.

Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi In this blog I am going to be talking about the greatest footballer of all time as some things about him. He has 5 balon dors to his name but in my opinion, should have 7.  His was born in Rosario, Argentina where he began playing football at a very young age for his local club called Newells Old Boys. He was absolutely incredible even at such a young age so he attracted attention from a number of foreign clubs. At the age of 12, Leo signed for Barcelona. He was abnormally small so Barcelona paid thousands for growth treatment in order to make Messi a normal height. They had so much faith in his ability. Messi throughout his career has had a number of offers to move from Catalunia to go to a foreign league, but he has always stayed loyal. He has had huge offers from Italian, English, French, Chinese and German clubs. He has many opportunities to receive much bigger wages elsewhere but he has always opted against, in respect to Barcelona. Lionel p

  Mario Balotelli Mario Balotelli is an Italian footballer who has always showed an incredible amount of potential, but has not fulfilled it in my opinion due to attitude issues. He would be best known for his league winning assist to Aguero in 2012 where Man City snook the league title off Man United. Mario began his professional footballing days at Inter Milan 11 years ago. He started off as a real prodigy after clocking 20 goals for the club very quickly. He secured a move to Man City in England in 2010 where he made 52 appearances. Things didn't really go to plan in Manchester so he moved to Milan in Italy where he was very successful scoring 26 goals. Wanting another stab at the premier league in England, he joined Liverpool in 2014. He had a very rough time in Merseyside only scoring 1 goal. Mario sealed an inevitable move to Nice in France in attempt to rejuvenate his career. He was seen as a right off, and was sold for a small sum of money. Mario defied the

Zlatan Ibrahimovic  Zlatan is a footballer who is coming to the end of his footballing days. He has been a man of many clubs in his nineteen professional football years to date. He is a very interesting and also controversial character and is well known around the world. He would be perceived, by most, as a genius of the game. In this blog I am going to give you a brief talk about his career and the many different clubs he has spent time at. Zlatan started playing professionally at his local club Malmo FF where he spent 2 successful years, scoring 16 goals. He then moved to the Netherlands, to a very famous club Ajax, where he spent 4, once again, very successful years. Ibrahimovic was never prepared to stay put. He spent his next 2 years at Juventus in Italy where he struggled, but he found form again at Inter Milan where he spent 3 years. He then received his big money move to Barcelona in Spain where he had partial success over his 2 year spell. Injuries were an issue
