Unfortunately he has a relaxed and low key personna which hinders him on a level of awards, but ask any coach or manager in the world and most would take a young Pirlo to base their team around.

Rinaldo has such a bad temper and is easily goaded into playhing foolish, any defender or opponent knows how to get under his skin and easily off his game.
