Andrés Iniesta

[dalitis8]

I have said this before.

Not a footballer.

A poet.

"Poetry in Motion" is perhaps the best way to describe this man!

His control of the ball and dribbling without pace is amazing.

his change of pace with the ball is excellent, too. he breaks away real quick and gets into open space after a nice move

 

[Catalonian Devil]

Decent player

 

[gingerless]

if he would just bulk up a bit, he could charge alone through the mid.

no way... you can't bulk up and expect to be gliding away with the ball (as the don does so gracefully)

"Iniesta can't dribble". Still rofl@ that comment someone made during the chat.

He's simply getting better and better, if he would just bulk up a bit, he could charge alone through the mid.

First of all, bulking up in this case doesn't mean becoming like drogba, just enough to hold up the ball. Secondly, yes you can bulk up and glide away with the ball, the most obvious example being the one who Iniesta based his style, Laudrup. While he wasn't Drogbaesque, his upper body was strong enough to shrug off defenders while gliding through the mid.

don't think he should have won MOTM but he was dummying Porto so much you kinda had to give it to him.

He's a promising youngster, this guy. Might make something of himself in the future.

 

[gingerless]

he's too fragile to make it at top flight imo

True but we can't really sell him either, who would buy him? Looks like we're stuck with him.

Elegant! Give him a bad ball in the most awkward of situations and he 'll still keep it and weave his way through a crowd with his silky smooth ball control and movement. And he's the only one on our team I'm ever confident of doing it, pressure or no pressure.

.............. and that sums up Andres very well. Remind me so much of Zinedine.
