On 30 July 2009 Villarreal CF from Spain bought Pérez, who signed a five-year contract.He spent two full seasons with the reserves in Segunda División, starting in several of the matches he featured in.

Pérez was definitely promoted to the Valencians' main squad for the 2011–12 campaign. He made his official debut on 27 September in the UEFA Champions League game against S.S.C. Napoli, coming on as a substitute for Jonathan de Guzmán in the dying minutes of a 0–2 group stage away loss. Again from the bench, on 1 October, he made his first La Liga appearance: from a corner kick, in the 84th minute, he equalized it 2–2 for the hosts against Real Zaragoza.

Andrés Iniesta

Profile:

Full name     Andrés Iniesta Luján

Date of birth     11 May 1984 (age 30)

Place of birth     Fuentealbilla, Spain

Height     1.71 m (5 ft 7 in)

Playing position     Midfielder

Club            Barcelon

Number       8

Personal life:

 Since 2008, Iniesta has dated Anna Ortiz,[76] and in September 2010 he confirmed that she was pregnant with his child. On 3 April 2011 she gave birth to their daughter Valeria. The couple married on 8 July 2012. On 27 October 2013, he confirmed that Anna is pregnant with a baby boy. On 7 March 2014, Iniesta and his wife lost their son due to miscarriage.

In 2011, Iniesta invested €420,000 in his boyhood club, Albacete, thus becoming its major shareholder. Two years later, with the club facing administrative relegation to the fourth tier of Spanish football, he loaned them a further €240,000 to cover unpaid wages. Iniesta is a Catholic. He made a promise to walk the Way of Saint James if Spain won the 2010 World Cup.

Style of play:

Like fellow La Masia graduate Cesc Fàbregas, Iniesta originally started as a defensive midfielder,but his balance, ball control and agility allied with his skill on the ball saw him make progress as an attacking midfielder. Beyond his raw talent that was spotted at a young age by FC Barcelona's scouts, it was his great versatility, work ethic and inventiveness that allowed him to stake a claim on a first-team place at the age of 18.[66] Vicente del Bosque described him as "the complete footballer. He can attack and defend, he creates and scores," and Frank Rijkaard said "I played him as a false winger, central midfielder, deep midfielder and just behind the striker and he was always excellent." He was used initially as a wide-forward in the absence of Juan Román Riquelme and Ronaldinho by Louis van Gaal and Rijkaard respectively, but made his name as a world-class player in central midfield alongside or in lieu of Xavi, at both club and international level. As FIFA.com says, "It is in this position that his direct style and quick feet can be used to full effect, with the ball seeming glued to his toes as he races into threatening positions. Iniesta is a player known for his passing, dribbling, vision and movement."

 Widely considered to be among the best young players in the world, James can play in several positions across the midfield, having played as a playmaker, a winger, and a central midfielder for both club and country. Although in an interview, he expressed having a main preference for an attacking midfielder position to his comfort.James's emergence during his time in Argentina led to comparisons with the famous Colombian footballer Carlos Valderrama; Valderrama himself declared James as his "successor".

James has shown ambidexterity in his dribbling and style of play. His goal scoring abilities were a highlight of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, where he managed to claim the Golden Boot despite Colombia's elimination in the quarter finals.

World cup 2014:

Xavi

Xavi

Profile:

Full name     Xavier Hernández i Creus[
 
Date of birth     25 January 1980 (age 35)
 
Place of birth     Terrassa, Spain
 
Height     1.70 m (5 ft 7 in)
 
Playing position     Midfielder

Club:

Current team   Barcelona
Number     6

Early life:

  Born in Terrassa, Barcelona, Catalonia, Xavi is a product of Barcelona's La Masia youth system and has been a regular at Camp Nou since the age of 11. His father, Joaquim, was a former player for Sabadell in the first division. Xavi made his way through the youth and reserve teams and was a key member of Josep Maria Gonzalvo's FC Barcelona B team that won promotion to the Second Division.

As a child, Xavi watched a lot of English football, and held midfielders John Barnes, Paul Gascoigne and Matt Le Tissier in high regard.

Style of play:

The claim that Xavi is one of the best central midfielders of all-time[4][5][6] relies largely on his ability to find and exploit space. As he said: "That's what I do: look for spaces. All day. I'm always looking".Finding space, he would appear for a team-mate to receive and then move the ball on, with his coach Pep Guardiola putting it: ‘I get the ball, I give the ball, I get the ball, I give the ball’.

Xavi's abnormally good vision, pinpoint accurate passing and world class ball control allow him to dictate the flow of play while rarely relinquishing possession. His ability to completely control some matches has earned him the sobriquet, "The Puppet Master".A style introduced to the club by former coach Johan Cruyff, Barcelona president Sandro Rosell believed Xavi, together with Messi, Iniesta and Busquets, perfected the club's tiki-taka style of play.

UEFA Euro 2012:

 "Pum, pum, pum, pum" – Xavi describes the rhythmic sound of the ball constantly moving between himself and midfield partner Andrés Iniesta.

    Group C – Spain v Republic of Ireland (4–0)

Xavi made most passes attempted in a European Championship match: 136  completed, 94% success rate). Previous record for most passes attempted had been set by Ronald Koeman at 117 in Euro 1992 match between Holland and Denmark. Xavi and Iniesta made 229 passes in this match, more than the combined Irish 11 managed.

    Final – Spain v Italy (4–0)

Xavi played for Spain at Euro 2012, which Spain won by defeating Italy in the final. With Xavi providing two assists in the final, one for Jordi Alba, and another one, like 4 years ago, for Fernando Torres, he became the first player to register assists in two European Championship finals. With his victory in UEFA Euro 2012, Xavi became the most successful player in Spanish football history, a feat that he previously shared with Carles Puyol, who missed the entire tournament.

Retirement:

 On 5 August 2014, following the 2014 FIFA World Cup where Spain were eliminated at the group stage, Xavi announced his retirement from international football having made 133 appearances for the national side in a 14-year period.

Spain's World Cup winning manager Vicente del Bosque paid tribute, stating that Xavi was 'a key part of the team's style of play' and 'he was more important to us than even the manager', and added 'We will miss him both on and off the pitch. He is a player who we hold in great esteem both personally and as a player. He is and always will be a person and a player who is greatly valued by the federation, the coaching staff and by myself.'

Height     1.83 m (6 ft 0 in)

Playing position     Midfielder

Club information:

Current team   Bayern Munich
Number     31

 Style of play:

Schweinsteiger largely operates in the centre on but he is versatile enough to provide an option on the wing, either left or right. He is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world. Schweinsteiger possesses a fearsome shot from range as well as a wicked delivery from set-pieces and his boundless energy serves him well.Dubbed the "Midfield Motor",Schweinsteiger is also a superb reader of the game and has scored spectacularly due to his good positioning. He has been called "the brain" of the German national team by his coach Joachim Löw. He has been voted as the best German player in 2013. He is also known as the "midfield mastermind".

 Personal life:

 Schweinsteiger's fans nicknamed him "Schweini" or "Basti" to distinguish him from his elder brother, Tobias, a professional footballer who also plays for Bayern, albeit in the reserve team. Schweinsteiger was in a relationship with model Sarah Brandner from 2007 until July 2014. They lived in Munich together. He is currently dating Serbian tennis player Ana Ivanovic. Schweinsteiger is Roman Catholic.

 2014 FIFA World Cup:

 Schweinsteiger made five appearances as Germany qualified for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. On 15 October 2013, he won his 100th cap for the national team in a 5–3 win over Sweden.

"If I was to pick my standout it would have to be, in a World Cup year, a World Cup winner. Thomas Müller, Toni Kroos and Bastian Schweinsteiger were all excellent, but if I had to pick one as my player of the year it would be Schweinsteiger."
–Paul Scholes, Manchester United legend

After making a substitute appearance in the team's second match against Ghana, Schweinsteiger was selected to start in the third group game against the United States.He retained his place in the team for Germany's round of 16 match, a 2–1 win against Algeria. He was instrumental in the World Cup finals against Argentina and led the mid-field with sweeping passes for the German attack. Germany won the world cup finals 1–0 through Mario Götze's 113th minute goal.

 Full name     Mario Götze

Date of birth     3 June 1992 (age 22)

Place of birth     Memmingen, Germany

Height     1.76 m (5 ft 9 in)

Playing position     Midfielder

Club information

Current team      Bayern Munich
Number     19

 Personal life:

 Götze was born in Memmingen, Bavaria. His father Jürgen Götze, is a professor at the Dortmund University of Technology.His older brother Fabian currently plays for SpVgg Unterhaching, having left Dortmund's youth system in 2010. His younger brother Felix currently plays for Bayern's under-17 team. Götze has been in a relationship with German lingerie model, Ann-Kathrin Brömmel since 2012. Götze is a Christian.

 Style of play:

 Götze is capable of playing as either a left or right winger, attacking midfielder and also as a false 9.Götze is considered to be one of the best young players in the world, possessing speed, technique, dribbling skills, and play-making capabilities. At Dortmund under former manager Jürgen Klopp, Götze often played different roles in the team's 4–2–3–1 formation. Following the departure of fellow play-maker Shinji Kagawa in 2012, during the 2012–13 season, Klopp assigned Götze as central attacking midfielder. In Germany, Götze's talent is used by German coach Joachim Löw in the false 9 role.

German football legend Franz Beckenbauer described Götze as “German Messi" for his speed and style of play. In 2010, German Football Association's then technical director Matthias Sammer described Götze as "one of the best talents Germany has ever had.

2014 World cup :

 He was named in the starting line-up against Portugal in the team's opening match, winning the penalty kick for Germany's opening goal on his FIFA World Cup debut. In the team's second match, he scored the opening goal and was named the Man of the Match in a 2–2 draw with Ghana. Götze played just 14 minutes in 0–1 win against the United States,[58] half of the Round of 16 win against Algeria[59] and seven minutes in their Quarterfinal 0–1 win against France. The fact that the German coach Joachim Löw brought on Julian Draxler for his first minutes of the World Cup in Germany's Semi-final 7–1 hammering of Brazil, keeping Götze benched throughout, perhaps was a wake-up call for him.

In the World Cup final against Argentina, Löw substituted 36-year-old Miroslav Klose after 88 minutes with Götze and told him "Show the world you are better than Messi and can decide the World Cup". Götze scored the only goal of the match in the 113th minute, controlling André Schürrle's cross on his chest before volleying the ball into the net, giving Germany their fourth World Cup. He became the first substitute to score a World Cup winning goal, and the youngest player to score in a World Cup Final since fellow German Wolfgang Weber in 1966 (who was also 22).

Mario Balotelli

Profile:

 Full name     Mario Barwuah Balotelli

Date of birth     12 August 1990 (age 24)

Place of birth     Palermo, Italy

Height     1.89 m (6 ft 2 1⁄2 in)

Playing position     Striker

Early life:

 Mario Balotelli was born in Palermo, Sicily from Ghanaian immigrants.[9] The family moved to Bagnolo Mella in the province of Brescia, Lombardy, when he was two.

In 1993, the authorities suggested he be placed into foster care. The Barwuah family gave up the three-year-old boy to an Italian foster family, the Balotellis. His foster parents are Silvia, the Jewish daughter of Holocaust survivors, and Francesco Balotelli. They lived in the town of Concesio, Brescia, in northern Italy.

At first, he stayed at the Balotellis during the weekdays, and returned to his biological parents on weekends. But after a while he started to be indifferent towards his biological parents and adopted the surname of the Balotellis, and it was arranged for him to be permanently fostered by the Balotellis.

In June 2012, he dedicated his goals that put Italy in the final of the Euro 2012 football championships to his foster mother Silvia, and rushed over to embrace her as she wept after the win.

Balotelli had to wait until his 18th birthday to request Italian citizenship, as the Balotellis had not adopted him. Balotelli officially gained citizenship in Concesio on 13 August 2008.After the ceremony he released the following statement:
“     I am Italian, I feel Italian, I will forever play with the Italy national team.

Mario Balotelli
    ”

Mario has three biological siblings: Abigail, Enoch, and Angel Barwuah. Enoch Barwuah, two years his junior, had a trial at English Premier League side Stoke City in December 2011, and Sunderland in January 2012, before signing with Salford City on 16 November 2012. Enoch switched to Maltese Premier League side Qormi in July 2013.

International career:

Balotelli was unable to answer call-ups to the Italian national under-15 and under-17 teams as he was still considered to be a Ghanaian immigrant.
On 7 August 2007, five days before his seventeenth birthday, Balotelli received his first senior International call-up for Ghana from their coach Claude Le Roy for a friendly against Senegal at the New Den stadium in London, England, on 21 August 2007. He declined the offer citing once again his willingness to play for Italy when he became eligible.He also stated his willingness to represent Italy at international level once he acquired an Italian passport.

Italy U-21 coach Pierluigi Casiraghi stated his intention to call up Balotelli once he obtained Italian citizenship. On 13 August 2008 Balotelli was finally given Italian citizenship.
“     This is even more exciting than making my debut in Serie A. The best birthday present I could receive now would be a call to join the Italy squad, although I'd be happy to play for the Under 21 team.
