Another star takes off her soccer boots. She tries her second life after 22 years of active life.
Andrés Iniesta, who played for Barcelona in the past, posted a retirement video on his SNS on the 8th (Korea Standard Time) with the title “The game continues.”
Iniesta, who played for the Emirates Club (UEA) until last year, announced his retirement on the 1st, and officially organized his active career today (8th) as scheduled.
Iniesta left a message about taking off his soccer boots in the video. He shed tears and paid tribute to leaders with close ties to him, including Luis Enrique (Paris Saint-Germain), Luis Van Gaal (Ajax Advisors), and Pep Guardiola (Manchester City).
Iniesta is the best playmaker in name and reality. He has shown all the abilities that a midfielder should have, including passes, dribbles and de-pressures, to the highest level for a long time.
A former Barcelona youth, he was called up to the first team at a young age, made his professional debut in 2003 and played active for 22 years.
Notably, he is one of the best midfielders in Barcelona. He led the team’s heyday by playing for 15 years with Chavi Hernandez and Sergio Busquets.
In Barcelona alone, he has lifted 32 trophies, including nine La Liga, four UEFA Champions League, six Copa del Rey, seven Supercopa de Espa, three UEFA Super Cups and three FIFA Club World Cups. 메이저놀이터
He has been a strong pillar of the “invincible fleet” for the Spanish team. He has scored 14 goals in 131 consecutive international major tournaments including the Euro 2008, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and the Euro 2012, ranking fifth in the A-match series.
Iniesta, who took the top spot in Europe, surprised the world by surprisingly transferring to Vissel Kobe of the Japanese J-League in 2018, and became the J-League champion last season, following the Japanese King’s Cup in 2019 and the Japanese Super Cup in 2020.
On his SNS account, Iniesta put his number 8, which represented him, on the side with the date of his retirement announcement, and expressed it as an infinite opportunity. When he left Barcelona in the past, he expressed the same expression, saying, “I will be with you forever.” This also conveyed his will to be with him in the soccer world even if he retires.
