00:00I just can say thank you, because he helped me to understand the game better.

00:05The best player for me, with whom I played, is Iniesta.

00:08He is the one who interprets the best football.

00:30First of all, he is a friend, he is the greatest talent I have ever seen in a Spanish footballer,

00:38or that I have seen with my own eyes.

00:40For me, he is one of the best footballers in the history of football.

00:54He didn't win the Ballon d'Or, and it's true that he deserved it.

00:57And I think he especially deserved his Ballon d'Or when he won the World Cup.

01:01He had an exceptional year, and he finished the World Cup by winning, by scoring.

01:06So, of course, he deserved it.

01:10Andrés, as a player, as a person, as a teammate, the truth is that he is a 10, or more, if possible.

01:27We are not going to lie to you, Iniesta is an irreplaceable player.

01:49You can play with another player, but he is a player who has characteristics that are difficult

01:55to think that you are going to do something similar.

01:59What Iniesta gives you, another player is not going to give you.

02:02Massive player on the pitch, and massive person on and out of the pitch.

02:08What he made after scoring the World Cup in 2010 in South Africa, the winning goal,

02:16and showing the shirt with Danny Harker's name, I think, touched us.

02:22Andrés Iniesta, whom I want to congratulate for his career, for his career, but especially

02:30for how he has taken that journey, so wonderful, with values, giving an example to society

02:38of everything that has to be a sportsman and a person.

02:52I just can say thank you, because he helped me.

02:58The people believe that managers have to play, but in a few cases, and I think Andrés is

03:02one of them, he helped me to understand the game better.
