Spain
coach Vicente Del Bosque believes that midfield duo
Andres
Iniesta and Xavi both
deserve the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Xavi and Iniesta were commendable in Spain's 4-0 win over
Liechtenstein on Friday night as they led the opposition a merry
dance.
Del Bosque recognizes their efforts as La Furia Roja's European
Championship defence got off to a flying start.
"Do they deserve the Ballon d'Or? None of us here doubt this. They
are both the best in the world," Del Bosque told
AS.com.
Spain's win was so comfortable that critics claimed the team could
have done more, but Del Bosque disagrees.
"I think that is a misleading view. Apart from a few lapses, the
team played really good football and we showed depth and good
movement," he said.
