Andres Inasta interview: Barcelona legend says Paris Saint -Germain Luis Enrique is a special coach with a unique talent | Football news

“On a personal level, these are special achievements,” says Andres Iniesta Sky Sports. It refers to the awards of the match player in the 2010 World Cup final, the European Championship 2012 and the 2015 European Champions League final. I thought?

This is the closest that Enaista comes to talk about himself. It is part of the reason that the legendary midfielder in Barcelona and Spain is very popular. In an era, screaming appears to prevail in many aspects of life, its remaining genius.

Even his winner in the 116th minute in the World Cup final was not devoted to his glory, but another memory. Iniesta Revalial’s shirt honored his friend, Espanyol captain Danny Gark, who passed away after a heart attack in the previous summer.

The second of Triptych did not appear a goal or help. Juan Mata scored the late alternative to INISTA within one minute in Spain’s certain victory over Italy in 2012. It was still clear that INISTA was the distinguished player in the game.

The score of 106 goals in 1016 professional football matches reveals something about his longevity, but for an attacked midfielder, he hardly alludes to his level of influence and does not tell us anything about the reason for this man shining in the largest moments.

How was he able to produce in those finals? Perhaps this is to raise his level, and overlap when requested to direct these games. Or perhaps others dropped their level under severe pressure, while he was able to maintain itself.

Does he have an explanation for this himself? “Well, it’s something of everything,” explains iniesta. “This responsibility, that mentality, the desire to play in these types of matches, that confidence in yourself, this design is to do your work.”

It stops temporarily. “Fortunately, I had the opportunity to win these finals.”

maybe. But he created these opportunities as well.

It is worth noting that he did this through a decrease in this World Cup winner in South Africa. But there was also a pass before the pass to start the defeat of Italy after two years, then help the opening goal against Juventus in the Champions League final in Berlin.

“They are special matches because you never play in these situations naturally, but you are also trying to do this in a natural way, the same routine, the same things, so as not to put more pressure on yourself.” Treating the final pressure may seem key.

Enjoying football may be the same importance. “Above all, enjoy that moment, enjoy people, remember your family, and people who always support you.” A person may not weigh? Not in the Iniesta world. “It is the moment you are very happy.”

Iniesta talks to Sky Sports In Munich as part of his role as Fedex Ambassador, Champions League sponsors. His role, as a person who is often delivered in big moments, is, literally, to present the cup to the city of the Bavarian host.

The crowd received it, still respected. Although he is outside the field, he cuts a little uncomfortable personality in the spotlight and one wonders how he finds retirement since he required time in his long career in the fall. INISTA 41 transformed this month.

But he is still in close contact with the game. He is still supportive in Barcelona, ​​talking about Lamin Yamal and his “unique talent” while admitting that he has an interest in Paris Saint -Germain that goes beyond Internazionale in the final because of his friends in Paris Saint -Germain.

Iniesta has history with both clubs. The last time Inter raised the cup in 2010 when Jose Mourinho Barcelona defeated Pep Guardiola in a tense semi -finals. Iniesta missed both legs by infection. “At that time, it was difficult to accept,” he confessed.

The Barca team is the greatest ever, as it won the Champions League in the previous season and the next season. But the volcanic ash cloud forced them to travel to Milan by bus in the first stage. “Things happen in football that you cannot control.”

As for PSG, these memories are more enjoyable, albeit after losing 4-0 in Paris in 2017. “It was difficult. But the return was one of those crazy matches.” Barcelona won 6-1 in the Nou camp for progress. “It was one of those nights that she would always remember.”

Barcelona’s Luis Enrique was the coach of that day and one of the above -mentioned friends, which Iniesta, who is now in the French club. Winning the Champions League with the second aspect would help consolidate its legacy – a legacy that Anista believes is worth.

“He is a private coach. I knew him as a teammate as a coach and has a unique talent. He is an incredible factor. He knows how to transfer his ideas to others, and knows how to convince. He has very clear ideas about how he wants to play.”

Of course, the same thing can be said about iniesta. Today, after retirement, he puts his energies in his academies and the so -called “Inasta”. Basically, this focuses on the importance of developing not only better players but better people.

“I think football is a great way to do this,” he says. “I had the opportunity to make the profession of a football player and this is a way to transfer this path and its values ​​to the youngest. The boys and young girls who are now growing, are the future.”

Insta days played in the past. However, it bears a symbol. Physically, it was neither faster nor the strongest. Mentally, he was open to his battles with depression and anxiety. But everything showed us that there is another way to win.
