VILLA IS AN ASSET

Andres Iniesta has said that David Villa is an asset for Barcelona and it is wonderful to know that he has recovered from his injury completely. David Villa has been declared fit by the doctors of Barcelona and he would make a comeback in the team after remaining out for 8 months. There have been reports that Villa would play in the pre season match against Manchester United. Villa had undergone a severe injury while playing in a match of the Club World cup against Al Sadd in the last season. He wasn’t able to feature again for Barcelona in the remaining part of the last season. He also didn’t manage to play for the Spanish team in the Euro Cup. Villa’s absence affected Barcelona’s performance and the team failed to win the UEFA Champions League.

Iniesta said that Villa is one of the best strikers in the world at the moment. He has done wonders in the past and his presence would make a big difference in the upcoming season. As per Iniesta, Villa is a great player and he would not take much time to get into his groove. On being asked about his previous coach, Josep Guardiola, Iniesta said that he was a magical coach. He had that unique ability of bringing the best out of the players. Guardiola had resigned from his post a few months ago. Under his guidance, Barcelona performed amazingly well and won 14 titles. He is considered as one of the best managers that Barcelona has ever had. After the departure of Guardiola, Tito Vilanova has been appointed as the new manager of Barcelona.

On being asked about the new manager of the club, Iniesta said that the players are quite familiar with the working style of Vilanova as he has been working as Guardiola’s assistant.  So, it would not be hard for Vilanova to settle in the manager’s role.
