Andres Iniesta did something very kind and thus memorable. Actions like this show people across the world that soccer isn't just a game, it's a family. No matter what team you play for, as long as you play for your country and your fans, not just the money, you will always be respected. I'm sure Dani Jarque was an honorable player, may he rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteI have often seen these types of videos on YouTube, where players either hit their heads and die, or just fall down of cardiovascular problems. Every time I watch them it trully touches and scares me, not only because it is something I play, but because death is so unexpected at times. Andres Iniesta let the world see his respect after showing the message on the most watched sports event in the world, of all time. RIP Dani Jarque.
ReplyDeleteThese are true teammates who don’t forget who their family is. They knew that Dani Jarque was there with them and won the game for him. This is a true team, players that don’t leave anyone behind.
