The revelation 95-96
Following his debut with the pros of Metz in April 1993, Robert Pirès getting stronger during the following two seasons. Author of eleven goals in the D1 1995 to 1996 when he is 22 years old, who was then attacking terrorizing opposing defenses with his friend Cyrille Pouget. Hope he is elected in the year. The “PP gunslingers” also offer the League Cup in Metz. Vice-champion of France in 1998, he left the club for OM.
It confirms OM
On the wing left of OM, it blazes through his vision of the game, his incessant changes of rhythm, hit ball. He played 47 matches in all competitions (nine goals) but did not win the title: his team finished runners-up to France and finalist of the UEFA Cup (losing to Parma). Appointed captain of OM during the 1999-2000 season, he finds himself struggling a bit. Bored by the whistles of the Velodrome, he left the club.
Invincible Arsenal
courted by Real Madrid and Juventus, Robert Pirès finally joined Arsenal to replace Marc Overmas left. A wise choice: he won twice the title and two Cups. Best passer in the Premier League in 2001-2002, he was elected player of the year by journalists. It will forever remain in the history as it was part of the team of Invincibles, crowned champion in 2004 without losing a single game Championship. In six years, he was named three times in the regular team of the year. Replaced after 18 minutes to make way for Almunia following the expulsion of Lehmann loses the final of the Champions League in 2006. A disappointment that will push him to leave a club not wanting him to sign a new contract more than a year.
Villarreal, a pretty late career
Seriously injured on arrival at Villarreal, he revives his team late in the season 2006-2007. The club goes from 14th to 5th place in two months under his leadership (two goals, one assist in the last eight matches). The following season, always in his new position of playmaker, he finished second in La Liga with Villarreal before Barca. In three full seasons at Villarreal he performs, he was decisive 32 times (14 goals and 18 assists) in 79 starts for all competitions.
the firmament with the Blues
with the Blues from 1996 to 2004, Robert Pires has seen it all (14 goals and 13 assists in 79 caps). Substitute in the World 98 and Euro 2000, he won both competitions. Originally two goals of the France team for the World Cup (against Saudi Arabia and Paraguay), it is especially one that focuses on golden goal Trezeguet at the European Championships. He then takes more weight: he was elected best player of the Confederations Cup in 2001 he won prior keep this title in 2003
