Well It's not like Pirlo was the first case of a long series of badly treated injuries on Milan, Pato is probably one of the worst cases. Plus, if I recall correctly, even when Pirlo was okay to play, this current manager kept him benched most of the times as well, that's what I meant by support. 

I think any player would lose the passion to play at a club with all those factors involved, even if they loved the club in the past.

Nah, I agree with AndrewWK. Pirlo had 2 poor seasons at AC Milan. Even before the injury, he had lost his lucidity and he was just sufficient in terms of commitment.

Probably afer all those years in the club and after he has won basically any competiton, he just needed some new stimulus. Also the great shape of Juventus in this last season has allowed him to regain his confidence as a player.

I can agree to that, but I still think that the overall ambient surrounding the team also played a big detrimental role on his lack of Passion in these past years. Since I started watching the Serie A in 2000, I always thought that AC Milan was the worst of the big 3 teams in Italy in terms of player support.

You did not just said that. Milan is one of most supportive team in europe. I mean look at there Players Gatuso, Seedorf, Ambrosini etc. all those don´t deliver anymore, they are old broken and almost useles but Milan kept them longer then any other Team would. And those are just a few examples there many more. In comparison to the white cocksuckers from Madrid who threw Raúl like a sack of crap away. Pirlo could have retired in Milan with a huge salary and as a hero. Saying Milan does not support their players is bullshit. Theyre player support is much better then in Inter, and at least as good as in Juventus.

I think that Milan kept them going mostly because they don't want to hire new players for that position unless they're forced to do it. I hardly ever see Milan make an actual worthwhile signing in recent times, so it's no wonder that they have to stretch those players to a breaking point.

As for Madrid, I agree, mostly because I think they're one of the worst teams in terms of player support I've ever seen.
