Juventus veteran Pirlo explains leaving AC Milan

Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo has discussed his controversial move from AC Milan.

Pirlo has been outstanding for Juve since leaving Milan three years ago.

"After a decade with Milan I needed a change of scenes. My career called for new incentives. Something inside me wasn't working. I had bad feelings.

"Milan were going through a very rough patch and my body was asking me to return to victory, to be in a team that had aspirations in every field.

"That's when Juventus came along. It was the best thing that could have happened. We won the Scudetto three times in a row and we're on the path to winning the fourth."
