If your name is Andrés Iniesta, most of the time, people talk about you as their point of reference when it comes to football, not the other way around.
The diminutive midfielder, who is in his 14th season as a professional, has become such a legend in the world of football that beer companies are doing competitions giving winners the chance to ‘be him’ for a day.
Ahead of this event, the player gave a brief interview to the press, relayed by AS, where the Barcelona legend was asked about the upcoming clash against Manchester City, and more specifically David Silva and Pep Guardiola.
He said: “He has a great talent, and he’s one of the players I’ve always had as a reference.”
If that isn’t an endorsement, that Andrés Iniesta looks at what you do and tries to learn from you, we don’t know what is.
The player also went onto explain his and his teammates’ time under Pep Guardiola at Barcelona had been a ‘very good time’, one the whole squad valued ‘a lot’.
It’s really hard to dislike him, isn’t it?
