Where was Iniesta before Pep started playing his style?
One of the key players in the CL final 2006 and a key player for Spain in the Euros 08 and a member of the team of the tournament.

He was just 24 when Pep arrived when midfielders take a bit while to reach their peak.

Ok mate. But he wasn't rated as one of the best mids in the world.


Ofcourse a player with that calibre won't ever be average. He might have been quality for Barcelona but not close to the world beater he became. Think we can all agree with that?

tbf, Pep will bring out the best of the majority of players that he coaches and he coached Iniesta to become one of the best midfielders in football history.

But even without Pep, I think that Iniesta just had too much natural talent to be one of the best midfielders in the world.

His talent was obvious in the youth tournaments that he played in.

So Iniesta at 24 was starring in a UCL winning team. Zidane was losing 2 UCL finals in a row at 24-26 for a Juventus side that just won it the year before he arrived.

Zidane is not on Iniesta's level.

Zidane is one of the most overrated, especially by one generation who never watched him play.

Because Zizou has a nice smooth shaved bald head

Iniesta leaves the strands of hair he has left there instead of getting rid of it

Actually Zidane is one of the few(under 10%)who can rock the bald head, because he has a good headshape for it and is also robust in the face. He also has decent jawline and dominant eyes which makes him more masculine.

One of his sons could pass for a male model. It just runs in the family

Meanwhile Iniesta is recessed and not too blessed with looks. It's just the way life goes I guess.
