Pirlo's soccer legend
During his childhood years, Pirlo was passionate about soccer. When night fell, he would lie in bed and, instead of closing his eyes to sleep, he would practice turning the ball over with his feet until he was exhausted. His love for soccer drove him to never miss a moment of the game, especially the skills of his idol, Baggio, which he always imitated with fascination. The blisters on Pirlo's feet are a testament to his hard work from the Brescia junior team to the youth team, as well as to his deep emotional bond with soccer.
However, Pirlo's soccer career was not all smooth sailing. At one point, he was involved in a scary scene where bandits robbed him at gunpoint in the early stages of his career with Inter Milan. Thanks to his calm demeanor on the pitch, he chose to go along with the situation at the crucial moment and avoided greater misfortune. The thugs were pleased with the way he responded and eventually let him go.
So why did Pirlo choose the number 21 shirt? It turns out that the number has a special meaning for him. During his time at Brescia, he wore the number 21, as Baggio was number 10 at the time. The number is closely linked to his life - not only his wedding day, but also his father's birthday and even the door number of his Turin residence. But there is also a theory that claims former Inter manager Mazzola had advised him to choose number 21 because it had brought him good luck. The introverted Pirlo eventually accepted the suggestion and today wears an anti-radiation collar with the letter A (which stands for his name "Andrea") and the number 21.
