The Spanish midfielder, who has performed phenomenally throughout the Euro 2012, had a few words for people who have been criticizing Spain lately.
Spain won the Euro 2012, hence silencing most of their critics in the process.
The European champions had a slow start to the Euro 2012 campaign. After being paired up against Italy, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Republic-of-Ireland-c2987, Spain were considered to be favourites to top the group, and even reach the final of the Euro 2012.
However, as the Euro 2012 campaign kicked off, Italy were able to show that they are one of the stronger sides in the competition and they drew the match 1-1, thanks to a goal from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Di-Natale-c6306.
Spain were still able to top the group after they managed to beat Republic of Ireland 4-0, and then later won 1-0 against Croatia.
Spain then qualified for the quarter-finals and faced http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045 was enough to knock Les Bleus out of the competition.
The semi-final stage saw Spain face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bruno-Alves-c8108 made sure that Spain qualify for the final of the prestigious tournament.
After reaching the final, Spain were again expected to deliver a phenomenal performance and they did after Italy were beaten 4-0.
However, throughout the competition, many believed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 were playing boring football and their style of play was not eye-catching.
Andres Iniesta recently came out in the open to silence the critics. While speaking about the people who have not been very supportive of the Spanish style-of-play, Andres Iniesta said:
"Everybody has their opinion," he said. "We are not here to say that our game is the most beautiful of them all. Everyone has a different view.
"Today, we had a great level of play and were faithful to our style.
Spain were favourites to win the tournament but the only reason why footballing fans were not very supportive of them was the fact that they were playing a defensive strategy as they rarely featured a striker throughout their Euro 2012 campaign.
However, they were able to show that they are definitely one of the most brilliant sides in the world, scoring four goals in the final against a team like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 2-1 in the semi-final.
