Andres Iniesta, Best Player of Euro 2012

Andres Iniesta has been named Best Player of Euro 2012 Poland and Ukraine. Last night we slept with that mystery, since the UEFA not announced after the game as expected. But this morning the mystery was solved: Sweet Iniesta had scored three distinctions as MVP throughout the tournament, against Italy (1-1), Ireland (4-0) and again Italy (4-0) - the same as Andrea Pirlo, but the added value of the award in the final said Iniesta as the MVP the whole tournament.

Thus, the Genius of Fuentealbilla succeeded to the throne to his teammate Xavi Hernandez, who earned the same distinction in the European past in Austria and Switzerland 2008. Iniesta had already won a MVP in Euro'08-in the semifinal against Russia and was part of the tournament Best XI. South Africa's World won three MVP's: third meeting of the group stage, against Chile, quarter-final against Paraguay and in the final against the Netherlands, earning him to repeat the honor of entering the championship starting ideal. So, Iniesta has been awarded the MVP in two finishes, Johannesburg and Kiev, and has accumulated seven MVP's of the three tournaments.

This Euro has climbed another step in a career that is honors. Iniesta has been more mature, more responsible, more aware of how much he needed to Spain and, above all, more aware of how extraordinarily good it is. The name of MVP of the Euro is Iniesta, The Encarador. Every time I got the ball, came as he arrived, his back to goal, side, face, rasita, dribbling, chest ... with that first touch like no other, this way of eliminating rivals with a control that is oriented the first step of the attack, Iniesta always faced, always looking for the vertical path, regardless of the opponent you put two or three players in front (to this day, in one to one, Iniesta is simply unstoppable).

In this Spain Del Bosque, as horizontal, so focused on maintaining control of the ball, every play cooking over low heat, providing Iniesta destabilizing element has been invaluable. Being named Player of the championship is a prize well deserved. But it falls short. The just reward for Iniesta, and so many of our Golden Generation-not offered in one day with some beautiful words. The only way to get your height is to repeat the same thing happened after Mundial'10: every two weeks, at each stage of Spain, all the fans of all teams to stand up to break the hands applauding and thus offer an ovation to finish echoing in every corner of Spain.
