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!"
