Andres Iniesta, the idol of many young talented footballers, not to mention loyal fans enamored of arguably football\u2019s most talented midfielder and his incredible skills, has been reminiscing fondly about his old friend Lionel Messi and just why he stands a clear head and shoulders above every other player on the planet.<\/p>\n
The midfielder was asked about the unavoidable constant comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo and elaborated on why he thinks Messi is superior by far to the Juventus star.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeo is different, unattainable. Everyone has their preferences and we like to make comparisons, but for me they are not comparable. Even if they score almost the same number of goals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me Messi is number 1, because he has everything. Passing, assists, dribbling, goals, team spirit. He knows how to be decisive in almost every (department), and he has been for years. I never saw a player as decisive and strong as Messi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Iniesta also reiterated the possibility of moving into coaching when he hangs up his boots but said he wants to keep playing for the moment. He\u2019s contracted to Vissel Kobe until 2021.<\/p>\n
