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!"
