The player "touched with a magic wand" as he hs been described.
This summer, a photograph did the rounds: Iniesta surrounded by seven Italian defenders. He describes it as a coincidence but it was appropriate somehow: he's the man they fear the most and the man who draws the most pressure on himself. Why? Because he trusts his ability to overcome it.
Always in control, he is the creative fulcrum of the Spain team.
There is something different about him. The touch is so smooth, so soft, almost imperceptible at times, that he can do things that other players simply cannot, from incredible dribbles to jaw-dropping assists.
Always in control, he is the creative fulcrum of the Spain team.
In a game where control has become the obsession, defences have become more populous and space harder to find, Iniesta offers that most important of qualities: inspiration.
