Pirlo: 'What I love about MLS'

By Football Italia staff

Andrea Pirlo loves the “coming together” of fans in MLS and is glad he joined New York City FC.

The midfielder was one of the first big names to make it over the Atlantic.

“It was a new League for me, but above all I wanted to come to America,” Pirlo told Sky Sport Italia.

“It represents a new and different experience for me in a State that fascinated me. I also got the opportunity to study a new language.

“Football is on the ascendancy here and I decided to come and play a part of it. I love the style of sport in America. Here you come to the stadium with your family and the victory comes second.

“What counts first and foremost is the sense of people coming together.”
