Pirlo, a 36-year-old World Cup-winning midfielder who enjoyed star turns at AC Milan &mdash; where he won two Champions League titles and for the past four seasons at Juventus where he won four Serie A crowns &mdash; was the center of attention in the match at Yankee Stadium between the two MLS expansion clubs.
Chants of &ldquo;We want Pirlo!&rdquo; were answered in the 57th minute, when the Italian entered the game to a standing ovation from the crowd of 32,041, speaking briefly to former Milan team-mate and now Orlando star Kaka. Pirlo settled in quickly, his deft touch enchanting fans who cheered his every touch of the ball.
