His passing and movement have been very good this season. He is very flexible and can play across the midfield. Spain has a wealth of talent in the midfield and they use central midfielders in wide positions. In the EURO 2004, they were relying on genuine wingers and now they are more flexible!<br /><br />@Ashay,<br />Xavi too walked on water against us man. They were able to change direction at will. Maybe I would have applauded them more if this game was not against us!<br /><br />@Shibarjun,<br />I too rooted for Barcelona in the UCL. They have been very good this season and in my opinion it would have been a pity to see them go out to tactics employed by Chelsea.<br />One good thing about Barcelona is that they have enough patience to try out home grown products. We have not had a neat defence all these years and so have ended up chasing our games most of the time, with less time for experimentation. <br />And I agree about Iniesta's attitude off the pitch as well. It was also heartwarming to know about Bilbao's Etxeberria giving up his salary while playing his last year at the club at the age of 32!

And it is this unselfishness that makes him a very dangerous player. While everyone generally focuses to mark out the players who are in the limelight, players like Iniesta are left free to weave their magic and dent a team so badly that it cannot recover.<br /><br />If I was asked to quote a moment that summed up the match (or the difference between the two teams for that matter), I would quote the "Iniesta Roulette" (Zidane owned the "Marseille Roulette"), where he took the ball to his own end on the pitch with Lass and Gago converging on him and then turned inward in a full 360, leaving both of our midfielders totally foxed. That was THE moment of the match and THE gap in quality between the two teams.<br /><br />One cant really hate a player of this caliber who's so humble and goes about doing his work without the right kind of appreciation from the right quarters to back his performances.<br /><br />- Ashay Kmadridista cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410553346413131493noreply@blogger.com
