Andres Iniesta

In the past, I had my idols but today I enjoy learning from all the soccer I watch.

There are moments when your mind is very vulnerable. You feel a lot of doubts.

If there is one thing that all players have in common it is that winning, competitive gene; the ability to overcome obstacles and fight for what you want from your career.

I want to extend my career for as long as I can.

Every player wants to be as complete as possible and goals for a central midfielder are very important.

La Masia is a place where lots of people live together but you are on your own.

I like to watch soccer, no matter what teams or players are in the field.

What I do when speaking in public is trying to do it as best as possible and trying to make everybody comfortable with my words. Sometimes getting this is very difficult, but I try my best.

Small players learn to be intuitive, to anticipate, to protect the ball. A guy who weighs 90 kilos doesn't move like one who weighs 60. In the playground I always played against much bigger kids and I always wanted the ball. Without it, I feel lost.

People see footballers as different beings, as if we're untouchable, as if nothing ever happens to us, but we're people. Of course we're privileged, but in the tangibles, we're the same.

I want to be remembered as a great footballer and a great player. When our football days are over, that's all we are - people.

Most things come from inside; they're intuitive. That's the way I am.
