Lampard lucky to play alongside Pirlo

The former Chelsea and Manchester City midfielder
is full of praise for his new New York City FC
colleague, who joined the American side from
Juventus on Monday
Frank Lampard considers himself "lucky" to play in
the same New York City FC team as Andrea Pirlo.
The former England international was finally
unveiled by the Major League Soccer side on
Tuesday after spending last season on loan at
Manchester City and could make his debut in
Sunday's meeting with Toronto FC.
Pirlo's transfer to MLS's newest club from
Juventus was confirmed on Monday and Lampard
cannot wait to play alongside the Italian and former
Barcelona striker David Villa.
"David and Andrea are at the top of the list, I'm a
lucky man to be in the same squad as them," he
told reporters at his unveiling.
"I've been watching all the games. I know every
player and how they play. It will be a pleasure to
play with them every day.
"I think Pirlo is the best at getting his ball to dip
and dive off the free kick. He can have the first
one!"
