The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 midfielder has stated that his side will keep the winning cycle of the Catalans alive and discussed several other matters as well
For the past few years, there has only been one club that every team aspires to replicate in terms of football performances, and the name of that outfit goes by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078.
Barcelona have attained amazing feats of success over the past years and Pep Guardiola was considered to be the man behind all the exploits of the Camp Nou outfit.
Guardiola introduced the concept of total football and left many in the awe of such an auspicious feat.
Andres Iniesta has been a vital part of the system formerly adapted by the then Barcelona manager, and has stated now that the Catalans will keep up their level and will continue to emulate success in the upcoming seasons as well.
Many people had believed that the end to Barcelona’s continental domination was fast approaching, as many managers knew how to tackle the total football contest.
Iniesta now believes that the Catalans can defy the odds and maintain their level of football despite everyone knowing how they approach the game.
"A cycle ends when you go years without winning. Last year, we won four titles. It's true we lost the Liga and the Champions League ... but the Barcelona cycle can continue for many years."
Iniesta also talked about Vilanova’s illness and stated that it was a great shock to hear about the manager’s relapse of the tumour as he had recently recovered from the dangerous disease.
The news was a shock, because we returned to hear those words. But what happened gives us great inner strength," he said.
"These things, as Zubizarreta said, humanise the group. We are lucky to do what we love, we live a sensational life, but all of that surrounds us. Afterwards, we are all human, and we are exposed to the same."
Iniesta is in the running to win the FIFA Ballon d’Or prize, which is due to be announced on January 7th of 2013 and is up against the likes of Barcelona teammate http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 for the coveted
award.
