I found this post in Andres Iniesta's Instagram feed.
I haven't received my copy yet (It's on Amazon, right now.) but, I'm excited to read it.
I'm not a Barca Fan but, I can appreciate skill when I see it.
Iniesta plays the game well and is a rather "unsung hero" of the success of Barcelona.
Trophies aside, I like "Artists" on the pitch. He's composed, with great technical skill and a marksman of a passer.
You could argue that without these types of players, the "superstars" wouldn't be so glorious.
Midfielders make the world go round.
Speaking of, another player like that, whom I respect and admire, is Andrea Pirlo.
He's also written an autobiography and I've read that one. It's also on Amazon and worth a read.
You probably recognize his work with Juventus and the Italian National Team. He's another known for accurate passing and creating chances for strikers.
It reminds me of a quote, I'm not sure who said it but, it goes:
"On the pitch you need piano movers and piano players"
Some guys get all the glory because of the guys doing all the "heavy lifting".
That's my kind of player.
Goals, Goals, Goals
On the other hand, if you want to win games, you need goals and goal scorers and speaking of books, another autobiography I know of is Zlatan Ibrahimovic's.
I recently saw his postgame interview on NBCSN and was impressed with his outlook and style. He's got a good head on his shoulders and he has had success all over Europe.
I may have to take a look at that book, too.
