As the world watches Juventus, one player stands out more than any other - Andrea Pirlo. The Italian midfielder has been instrumental in helping Juve win numerous titles and he is widely regarded as one of the best players to have ever played for the club.
However, it seems that Pirlo's success might not be sustainable if he continues to play for long periods without rest. According to a report by The Athletic, Juventus star Christian Kabasele believes that Pirlo's playing time could be detrimental to his performance.
Kabasele, who has previously played alongside Pirlo at Roma, claims that the Italian international has become too reliant on physical exertion and this could be taking its toll on him.
"The problem is Pirlo's game," Kabasele said. "He plays so much and then gets injured. He doesn't train properly. He just wants to play and run."
The former Roma captain also revealed that Pirlo's playing style is causing him to tire quickly, which could lead to him being unable to perform at his best.
"Every time he comes off,Football Radar we're like, 'Wow, he looks so tired'," Kabasele added. "And when you see the way he runs, it's like he's just going through the motions. He's not really doing anything special anymore."
While Kabasele's comments may seem harsh, they highlight a serious issue that needs to be addressed. If Pirlo continues to play at such a high level without adequate rest, he risks damaging his career and possibly even his health.
It will be interesting to see how Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri addresses this issue and whether he can find a solution that allows Pirlo to continue to contribute to the team while also ensuring his well-being.
