Aggressive defender, plays with anticipation using the body. Badly positional sense (arrives to the half field with the forward) and bad leadership of the defence (wants to throw the offside when it is not possible)".

Even of the cracks younger of the Barça also there were complete profiles, and Mourinho already was put in alert of the qualities of Andrés Iniesta. "Always it goes out of the bench.
