Andrés Iniesta
Now that the FIFA World Cup 2018 is just around the corner, the air is rife with speculations about the winners. Among the winners we look to, are some of our all-time favorites. One of these, are none other than team Spain. Spain as a team in itself boasts some of the most prolific players in the world. This article zeroes in on one all-star in particular.
Yes, Andres Iniesta is one to look out for this season. Currently on the team for Japan’s Club Vissel Kobe, he has had an illustrious career. Iniesta first rose to international fame as part of La Liga’s Barcelona. The midfielder also boasts having led Barcelona as captain for three seasons.
As a player for Barcelona, Iniesta has garnered a record-breaking 34 trophies. He has truly done Spain proud and is widely considered as the crème de la crème of the Spanish football scene. His stint as a core player for Barcelona also saw him accomplish two major victories. These were trebles won in 2009 and in 2015 respectively.
Iniesta has never failed to disappoint. Did we mention he was also a key player in the FIFA World Cup 2010? Well, he was! He stunned us all when he secured the goal that helped Spain win the match against Netherlands in the finals.
His win at the eleventh hour turned out to be a true inspiration for Spain and aspiring footballers worldwide. Iniesta’s feat was not gone unrecognized too. He was given the Man of the Match title. Subsequently he was selected as part of the World Cup’s All-Star Team.
But that was not all for Iniesta. His thriving hunger for victory shined once more at the Euro 2012 match against Italy. He once again scored the winning goal and walked home with yet another Man of the Match title.
With the next World Cup looming before us, our only comment is that Iniesta is being a little outshined by Sergio Ramos. Ramos is currently in the buzz for being Spain’s star player. But that does not detract from Iniesta’s amazing track record and undeniable capability.
Andres Iniesta Top Scorer Odds World Cup
Given his penchant for scoring goals, the expectations for Andres Iniesta this season are expectedly high. It is extremely probable that he will once again help Spain pull through with his streak of winning goals.
As Spain faces off the rest of the world’s best players in Russia, this midfielder is bound to be exciting to watch. However, given that he is after all a midfielder, his opportunities for clear shots and goals may be undermined.
When it comes to the odds one category that Iniesta has been stipulated against is the Top Scorer category. In terms of his odds as Top Scorer for the season, the prospects are negligible. As of now, the majority of the bookmakers have not offered odds for Iniesta in this category. While this is unfortunate, the odds may not be worthwhile.
It is likely that we would be looking at rather unfavorable odds that would not be logical to offer, such as 2000/1. Iniesta also does not carry much weight in the World Cup – Winner/Top Goalscorer Double Betting Odds. As we speak, no odds are being offered for this one either.
