Andres Iniesta the footballing genius???

This is so sad ,how people are criticising the greatest of all time of his position , Andrés Iniesta: The footballers' footballer ,was one of the greatest LaMasia product ,a generational talent , I don't know why do people say these irrelevant and harsh words on him , i think they don't know football or understand it totally .

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have rightly dominated the headlines for the past decade, leaving Andrés Iniesta's sustained brilliance to go under the radar somewhat.

However, there is no question that the Spanish magician is the footballers' footballer.

Much like Paul Scholes before him, his technique, vision and ability to dictate the pace of a game has been consistently recognised by some of the most high-profile names in the sport.

These are some quotes on him by some legends of the game.

Pep Guardiola

"Iniesta doesn't dye his hair, he doesn't wear earrings and he hasn't got any tattoos. Maybe that makes him unattractive to the media, but he is the best."

Lionel Messi

"Andres and I are similar in that we both use our bodies a lot, to avoid opponents. But he has something that always amazes me. There's always a moment when you think you're going to catch him, when you think you're going to get the ball off him, but you can't. He's not especially quick, but he has that ability to always get away from you, which comes from his technique."

Fernando Torres

"When he has the ball, it's like everything else stops - like the camera is going in slow motion."

Ronaldinho

"When I see him play these days, he reminds me of Xavi. He was always a top-quality player. He started very young with us, and it's crazy to see how he has gone on to make so much history."

Sergio Ramos

"Iniesta is the boyfriend that every mother wants her daughter to have. The figures over his career tell you all you need to know. He is a magical player. There are few players in the world that can compare to him."

Xavi

"Iniesta is easily Spain's most complete player. He has everything. Playing alongside him is very easy."

David Silva

"The press often ask me whether Messi or Ronaldo is the best, but for me something is very clear: Andres Iniesta is the number one. He is able to do even more difficult things on the pitch. He is magic with the ball and so influential."

Vicente Del Bosque

"He is the complete footballer. He can attack and defend, he creates and scores."

Cesc Fàbregas

"He's creative, he runs with the ball, he's got a brilliant final pass and with each passing year he's become more of a goalscorer as well as a provider. He's a source of immense confidence for us. During matches you can see him taking on more and more responsibility and in attack he's the team's reference point."

Luka Modric

"Iniesta is a great player. If people compare me to him, that makes me proud. He is one of the best midfielders in the history of football. I like playing against him. I admire him as a player and an athlete."

SHOULD MESSI LEAVE BARCELONA??

Greatest player of all time(G.O.A.T) , none other than Lionel Andres Messi . A prolific goal scorer and a creative playmaker who is outstanding,out of this world in every sense of footballing term he is a pure genius. Hell a lot of joy he brings to the football fans all around the globe by his magical run , dribbling and by his smart tricks and one of those little piece of magic out of his hat when he defy all the top class defenders in the world by putting them an awe, He is not a human he is something else. When it comes to one-club players in top-flight football, few names can match the impact of Lionel Messi at Barcelona. He was the teen prodigy, he joined barcelona at the age of 13, who became a global legend, all within the confines of the Catalan club. From honing his skill at La Masia to leading the team, the Argentine’s path to greatness was laid out in Spain and he fulfilled his destiny by becoming the most successful player for the club. And for (nearly) 20 year...

Why did Luis Suarez join Atlético Madrid?

Luis Suarez joining Athleti makes a lot of sense as he has established himself as a legend at Barcelona , and after spending many years in spain, his family is settled there and kids don't even want to go elsewhere ,so playing for athletico will terminate the chances to settle elsewhere and won't have to face problems to adapt elsewhere . But one of the major factor i see is that his friendship with messi, they are neighbours and he might not want to separate himself from Messi can be a major factor . Coming in to Simeone side ,due to less players at his position at Athleti will certainly be good for him as he will have more playing time considering that Morata will be out on loan at Juventus. Simeone is a great admirer of him, will certainly help him play his final years with joy. As a Barca fan i would've liked if he was given a great farewell ,but due to covid it's impossible. Good bye Legend 💯♥️

What is false nine in football ?

False 9 A false 9 is a player who plays between the midfield and the defense lines. The most prominent example is Pep’s Barca squad utilizing Messi as a false 9. In modern-day football, more and more teams are shifting to a false 9 striker rather than a true 9 with a 10 playing behind. It is like a combination of a 9 and a 10. Also, with the introduction of inverted winger who cut in rather than be in the ‘wings’, it seems more like a favorable option. It is always used in a 4–3–3 formation in football. Qualities It is one of THE HARDEST ROLE to play in a team. This player has to pack a bunch of skillsets. The most important skills are- really good dribbling, good vision and passing and, the most important, awareness and creativity. Other skills include flair, speed, and a hella lot stamina. Quite a lot of qualities to ask for, resulting in a lesser number of these players. Advantages and Disadvantages It is a tricky position to play. The most advantage of playing a false 9 is the mar...
