Furthermore, the former midfielder Chelsea and of Manchester United believes that Spain can aim for the title. “Spain there is still a great generation,” he declared Bush in Spirit of Sportthe global magazine produced by Laureus. “Now he has a new coach, Luis de la Fuentewho has already won the League of Nations. The federation trusted him, so he had time to develop his ideas. I kept thinking Spain “This is one of the teams that will fight for the trophy.”
Bush remembered a ritual that prompted Spain to glorify Poland and Ukraine in 2012. “We did a lot of fun things, but probably my favorite, because I listened and learned from everyone, was every night before a game we would meet in the team room. Pepe Reina, the goalkeeper. Maybe it wasn’t good for nutrition and the team doctors wouldn’t have approved, but we ordered some croissants and hot chocolate. That bond was created that, in a way, made us unstoppable. Those nights before games stay with me, because I listened Xaviin Ikerin countryin towers, and I learned a lot. And, for me, that’s very special.”

What does Iniesta mean to him?
“I love watching Andrés since I was a kid. He makes things easy, and what he does is not really. If you look at him, his physique is not what people consider ideal for football . He’s not too tall, not too strong, not too fast, but it doesn’t matter, you can’t take the ball away from him in decision making and moves before receiving the ball, and he’s an expert at those that tall, big and fast defenders can’t take the ball away from him because of his movements and his connection with the ball, and his teammates. I mean, everyone on and off the field, he is too a very good man, we recently got in touch following my signing with Vissel Kobe, where he is a great man who plays incredible football.

“2012 was a great year for me. With the EURO, of course, scoring in the final. It was a fantastic feeling, with my family in the stands, the whole country – the whole world, really – watching me. I entered. in the last minutes of the game and I had the chance to score against Buffon In the way I closed the circle of Spain winning the EURO, the World Cup and the EURO again.
“Then, the Champions League with Chelsea [un saque de esquina de Mata fue rematado de cabeza a gol por Didier Drogba antes de que el Chelsea venciera al Bayern de Múnich en la tanda de penaltis para ganar el trofeo por primera vez]; won the team’s Player of the Year award, was in the Premier League Team of the Year, excellent. I feel like everything is going the way I want. I didn’t think too much, I played football, I enjoyed life and I let myself go. That person changed my life for the better.”
