Madridthe coach of "Real" Zinedine Zidane played on the opposite side of the barricades with Andres Iniesta for many years, but respect remained until the end.
33-year-old "Barcelona" legend A. Iniesta announced yesterday that he is leaving the Catalan team after the season. He spent 16 years at "Barcelona" and won more than 30 titles.
Z. Zidane did not miss the opportunity to speak about the respect for the Spaniard who deserved recognition all over the world during his press conference.
"For anyone who loves football, it is difficult to see the farewell of such players," said the Frenchman. "First of all, I see him as a football player, not as a member of the Barcelona club."
"I met him two or three times and saw what a simple and sincere person he is. I am a great admirer of those players who work hard on the field with the ball and do it very calmly.
We are talking about a player who fulfilled everyone's dreams. He deserved the "Golden Ball", especially after winning the World Cup. It was more than obvious.
I can only say good things about him. His connection with football has always been strong, so I wish him all the best in the future," added Z. Zidane.
