BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

  5. Andrés Iniesta is one of the best midfielders in history. He has been almost all his life playing in Barcelona. He is a humble person, all his classmates speak well of him. In Barcelona he won thirty- five titles, he nearly won the Golden Ball in 2010. Although I was very young, I can remember the 2010 South Africa final in which he scored the decisive goal in 116th minute. My father and I went to celebrate the World Cup at the fountain in the town centre.

  10. Andrés Iniesta is a football player. He is thirty-five years old. He is from Fuentealbilla (Albacete), so Andrés is Spanish. He is a great player because Spain has got the World Cup thanks to him. He is also a football player for Barcelona 2002 to 2018 and now Iniesta plays with Vissel Kobe.
    Andrés is not very tall, but he is very athletic. He has dark and short hair and hies eyes are green.
    His personality is friendly, nice and shy. Iniesta is very hard-working, because he is the best player of the Spanish Football Team.

  11. Andres Iniesta has been one of the best midfielders in football. He was short whith white skin and was almost bald. He won a World cup with Spain which he was ddecisive because he scored the winning goal. He played for Barcelona and had a very good time in which Guardiola was coach. And they won ,any titles.
    Iniesta is an example to follow.

  12. Andrés Iniesta and Sergio Ramos were partners in the Spain National Football team, and they won the world cup.

    Sergio Ramos has more goals y than Andrés Iniesta because Sergio played more matches than Iniesta.

    For me, Iniesta is better than Ramos but Andrés is the best central and Sergio is the best defender.

  13. Andrés Iniesta was born in Castilla La Mancha, his profession is a footballer, and we could say that he is one of the best footballers in the world. Do you think Andres deserved to have won a Ballon d'Or?

    Andres Iniesta played his entire career for Barcelona and the Spanish national team, but now he plays for a team from Japan, Visell Kobe. Iniesta plays in the midfielder position, but from time to time he has also played on the wing. As we all know, the Spanish team won the 2010 World Cup thanks to the fact that in the last game Iker Casillas made an incredible and unforgettable stop to Arjen Robben and a goal from Andrés Iniesta in the 116th minute.

    What no one understands is how Iniesta did not win a Ballon d'Or in his entire career since he has played for many years at a high level. It is true that there were also many very good players, but Andres deserved it more than anyone.

    In my opinion, they should have given Iniesta two golden balls corresponding to the years 2010 and 2012 since he played for many years very well and in those 2 or 3 years he performed at a high level, helping to win the national team a World Cup and a European Championship, to others we must add all the titles he achieved with Barça.

  16. Andrés Iniesta is a football player who was born in Castilla La Mancha (Spain). And from my point of view, he’s one
    of the best footballers in the world.

    Iniesta played for Barcelona FC until 2018 and also played for the Spanish national team. He now plays for
    a team from Japan. Iniesta won the 2010 World Cup with the Spanish team, thanks to a goal from him in the
    116 minute and an unforgettable stop made by Iker Casillas to a Dutch player (Arjen Robben).

    Why he never received the Golden Ball?. My opinion is that he deserved it for having played for
    years at a very high level, Andrés deserved that trophy more than anyone.

    In conclusion, Andrés Iniesta is one of the best footballers in the world and will always be remembered
    for the triumphs he has achieved.

  17. Andres Iniesta is one of the best players in the history of Spain. He played for Barcelona and won many titles, for example 4 Champions League titles and with Spain he won 2 Eurocups and 1 World Cup in which he was the protagonist, with his goal in extra time against Holland.

    Iniesta is a humble man, he has no hair, his skin is light and he is of medium height.

    Now Iniesta plays in Japan and at the age of 37 he is still a good sportsman.
