Video: Andres Iniesta Plays Futsal In His Home Town
As a young player growing up in Fuentealbilla, south of Spain, part of Iniesta's football schooling involved playing small-sided games 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."
The new FC247 collection includes exciting updates. The next evolution of the Nike Elastico Finale, launched in a dynamic Mint/Pink/Lime colourway, is constructed for ultimate performance on hard-court surfaces. The shoes incorporate NikeSkin technology - an advanced 3D textured upper that is incredibly soft and flexible.
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.
