Daniel Jarque was a soccer player of the RCD Espanyol. He died in 2009 in a room of a soccer training camp near Florence (Italia). Nevertheless, his memory was alive in the field of the Johannesburg stadium where the final between Nederland and Spain took place on sunday june 11th. Scoring the goal who gave the victory to his team, and to his country, Andres Iniesta took off his blue shirt, showing an underwear on which was written "Jarque siempre con nosostros" (Jarque forever with us").
Doing that, Iniesta revealed to the soccer planet that fierce (and sometimes haughty) tempers, technical abilities and big wages were not sufficient, and even useful, conditions to overcome all the difficulties laying on the way of the teams qualified for the final phase of the world cup.
Iniesta testified what was, in fact, the "doping" of the team he played with. Remembering the memory of his roommate, he considered not only as a player, but almost like a friend in and outside the fields, Iniesta showed he took the best of his sadness. Paying tribute to Jarque in a moment designed for self proclamation, he revealed the secret of the winners : faithfullness, generosity and heart.
