Orlando Pirates star midfielder Miguel Timm has responded to comparisons with one of the Italian top midfielders of the past – Andrea Pirlo.

While Pirlo was protected by Gennaro Gattuso during his playing days with AC Milan and the Azzuri, with the latter doing the dirty work alongside him, allowing Pirlo to flourish, Timm is doing it both – breaking the attack from opposition and starting the attack for his team.

Timm, who has played alongside Didier Drogba in the United States of America, has been one of the signings of the season for Pirates from Marumo Gallants, with his leadership in the midfield providing a galvanising effect at the club.

He helped Pirates win its first major trophy this season – the MTN8 earlier this month against AmaZulu in Durban. Along the way to win the competition, Timm carried Pirates, so protective of his back four, blanking Mamelodi Sundowns not score a goal across two legs in the Wafa Wafa Cup semi-finals.

He played all the minutes on the club’s en route to win the trophy alongside Nigerian defender Olisa Ndah.

While the success was built in the matter of months, early work of progress is showing and perhaps Pirates might finally pose a huge threat to Sundowns in the league title this season.

“We watch football and there’s a lot of world class footballers. I try to take a bit from everyone and maybe Pirlo but I’m not as fast as he was,” said Timm, when asked who he’s modelling his game on.

“Maybe I’m not as physical, but I know how to compensate by reading the game, which I always put effort into and try to make it work.

“I think I’m decent on the ball and I always try to do and help the team getting to the next phase of the attack.”

Timm’s form saw him for the first time in his career getting the call up for Bafana in two friendly matches as Hugo Broo’s men beat Mozambique and drew with Angola with both games played at Mbombela Stadium a few weeks ago.

Interestingly, Pirates and Sundowns will resume the league battle after the FIFA World Cup at Loftus Stadium on 31 December.
