Andrea Pirlo and Inigo Montoya had very different strategies. And those strategies didn’t always work. 

As their lives changed, their strategies needed to change. Inigo Montoya became a master swordsman in pursuit of revenge but, when he couldn’t find his target, he fell into an errant life of drunker stupors. Andrea Pirlo enjoyed a long career winning Europe’s finest football trophies but, when he moved to New York, he entered a different football culture and, while he remained exceptional, his strategy didn’t always work.
