New
film sheds light on the unique skills Andres Iniesta developed as a young
futsal player.
As
a young player growing up in Fuentealbilla, south of Spain, Andres Iniesta had
dreams of making it to the professional ranks of football.
Part of his schooling involved playing small-sided football with his friends in his hometown. It was a formative part of his footballing education that benefits his game to this day.

"Futsal
helps my ball control in tighter spaces" says Iniesta. For that reason,
when his schedule allows it, Iniesta joins training sessions with the Barca
Alusport Team (FCB's futsal equivalent). “If I had more free time, I would like
to train more with my colleagues on the futsal team."
Nike
Football's "My Ground" film gives a glimpse into Iniesta's time
training with his futsal colleagues and his background in the small-sided game.
During
filming Iniesta tested the new Nike Elastico Finale II while some of his
opponents wore the new Nike Lunargato II, both part of the recently launched
Nike Football FC247 Collection designed for football anytime, anywhere.
