Andres Iniesta Lujan

Andrés Iniesta is a football icon of the last 20 years, an outstanding player and record holder for the number of titles in Spanish Example. Contemporaries breathe his name and cite him as an example for the younger generation. The footballer has won everything possible, and the only award that Iniesta has not yet received is the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

Andres Iniesta Lujan was born in May 1984 in the Spanish province of Albacete. Parents - Maria and Jose Antonio - worked as waiters in restaurants, they had to save money. Father saved three months to buy his son boots.

The boy, who was interested in sports at the hobby level, of course, did not imagine that over the years the pages on social networks, including Instagram, would be mostly filled with photos and videos on professional football topics. Iniesta played for the local team and at one of the tournaments caught the eye of sports scouts.

At the age of 12, Andrés left his hometown of Fuentealbilla and went to Catalonia, the La Masia football school, which is considered the best in the world. Among the graduates of the educational institution are Xavi and Lionel Messi, Victor Valdes and Carlos Puyol. The school is the base academy of the Barcelona club, but the boy had the opportunity and the desire to play for Real Madrid. The last word remained with the parents, who chose Barcelona for the convenience of its location.

During his four years at the academy, Andres has grown to become Barça's second squad and began playing in the third-most important league, Segunda División B.

In 2001, Iniesta got into the youth national team and won the European Championship for players under 16 years old. Twice the footballer has won similar championships in two other categories. Serra Ferrer, who was the head of the Catalan club at that time, invited the talented young man to the legendary Barcelona. With the money received under the contract, Andres bought a house for his parents, and his father, thanks to a bank account, left his job.

Andres's debut game took place in the Champions League. In the future, the midfielder's sports biography took shape in the "blue-garnet" camp. Andres has defended Barça's colors in more than 600 matches and has scored over fifty goals.

According to statistics, Iniesta is the most titled player in Spain for all the time that they play football in this country. He has seven Super Cups and five Cups, four Champions League wins and three world club titles. The Barça midfielder is an eight-time Spanish champion and two-time European champion, a member of various symbolic teams.

In 2010, the footballer scored the decisive goal in the World Cup final and presented the national team with the first Cup in its history. Andres came to Red Fury 4 years earlier and made his debut in a friendly against Russia, and scored his first goal in 2007 against England. At the end of the tournament, Iniesta was rewarded with a nomination for the Golden Ball. The athlete received another nomination, as well as the four-time title of the player of the match at the end of Euro 2012. In total, Iniesta played over 120 games under the Spanish flag.

In 2013, Barcelona extended the contract with the midfielder until 2018, after lengthy negotiations agreeing to pay Iniesta a salary of € 12 million per year. When the agreement was nearing its end, the club for the first time in its practice signed a new one, this time for life. A clause appeared in the contract, according to which Andres received the right to leave at any time if he announced such a decision before April 30 of each year.

However, the Eurosport.ru portal noted that age and injuries drove the player into stagnation, he rarely spends more than 15 minutes on the field. And against this background, when Iniesta already has the status of one of the highest paid football players, his patriotism towards the Catalan club smacks of selfishness. The desire for perfectionism and the desire to finish his career beautifully do not allow Andres to show honesty, at least in relation to himself.

Andres met his wife Anna Ortiz in 2009 at a party with friends. According to rumors, the shy footballer did not dare to approach the beauty for a long time and delayed the official proposal, as he was afraid of refusal. But the girl fell in love immediately. In the statement of relatives, the situation was the opposite: it was Andres who showed decisiveness, and Anna was shy in front of the celebrity.

Young people could not bear the relationship to the public, but the journalists simply figured out the lovers, since Ortiz constantly appeared on the podium when Barcelona played. Anna and Andres got married when the footballer won the 2012 UEFA European Championship and was named the best player. The wedding for 700 guests in the style of the 1920s was played on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, in the ancient fortress of Castillo de Tamarit.

In April 2011, the couple had a daughter, Valeria. In March 2014, the family was waiting for a replenishment, but Anna had a miscarriage. To support his beloved in a difficult moment, Iniesta missed the match of the next round of La Liga. The midfielder brought his anger and despair onto the field - that year, according to observers, Andres was at his peak and showed an exceptional game, made him talk about himself as a contender for the Golden Ball.

In May of the following year, the son of Paolo Andrea was born. And again, the state of mind and family atmosphere affected the game. Iniesta received the King's Cup and won the Champions League. In the spring of 2017, the family increased by one more member - the daughter Siena was born.

Andres does not have the appearance of a model (the height of the footballer is 171 cm), but advertisers consider it an honor to shoot the Barcelona player. Nike, Sony, Qatar Airways, and the UFX brokerage company have entrusted him with presenting products and services.

In the spring of 2018, the Barcelona leader set another record with his 22nd quarterfinal match in the Champions League. In total, the meeting with "Roma" became for Andres 129th in the league, according to this indicator, the Catalan midfielder takes 6th place in history.

At the same time, it became known that the upcoming world championship for Iniesta may be the last. In an interview with Le Figaro, the footballer expressed the hope that he would have enough strength to play in Russia.

According to rumors, the Barcelona midfielder is already expected at the Chinese club Tianjin Quanjian. The contract with the Celestial Empire includes just an exotic item - the promotion of Bodega Iniesta wine, which is owned by the Spaniard. With the help of Tianjin, the footballer intends to advertise his own production in China, and 2 million bottles have already been delivered to the new location.

According to La Liga News.co.uk, Andres managed to agree with the Chinese Super League club a three-year contract, which spells out the possibility of an extension for one year. The total amount under the contract will be $ 37 million.

Lazio midfielder Luis Alberto is competing for the place (but not for the band) of the Barça captain. The management of the "blue garnet" will have to pay at least € 30 million, says La Gazzetta Dello Sport.
