Andres Iniesta has signed for Japanese club Vissel Kobe on a two-year deal after many years in Barcelona. The 34-year-old playmaker left the Catalan giants after landing his ninth La Liga title with the club. He also secured a host of other honours, including four Champions League trophies. A World Cup winner with Spain in 2010, Iniesta captained Barcelona during his final three seasons at the club. Vissel Kobe chairman Hiroshi Mikitani told reporters at a press conference: “I am pleased to announce that Andres Iniesta will be signing up to play for Vissel Kobe after his historic career at FC Barcelona. “Iniesta is a top global player. Many of us will recall Iniesta’s astounding goal in the final of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa that brought Spain its first title in the tournament. “Since 2015, Iniesta has also led FC Barcelona as captain and last year he was the first player to sign a lifetime contract with the club.” Mikitani added: “I am confident Iniesta’s philosophy, leadership and DNA will be a terrific inspiration, not only for Vissel Kobe but all Japanese football society. “We look forward to Andres Iniesta not only strengthening the team’s performance but also contributing to the development of the next generation of players through the introduction of the Iniesta methodology to the youth academy. “We believe his decision to come to Japan will have a major impact, not just on Vissel Kobe, but on football in Japan and Asia.” “Iniesta will raise the profile of Japanese football globally and we are working on activities to leverage his presence here and promote the J.League worldwide. “I am very proud to see this day come. “We will do everything in our power to support Iniesta during his time in Japan and show us all his beautiful, inspiring play.” Source: http://usascholarshipfree..in/2018/05/andres-iniesta-signs-for-japanese-club.html 10 Likes 2 Shares
