Andres Iniesta Qoutes

Andres Iniesta Qoutes

• 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.
• You have different sorts of people in life, so why should it be any different in football?
• There is no rule that says a footballer needs to be 'this high' and 'this wide.'
• There are moments when the human body can overcome things you would never expect.
• In the past, I had my idols but today I enjoy learning from all the soccer I watch.
• I like to watch soccer, no matter what teams or players are in the field.

" Some people like you, some people don't. In the end you just have to be yourself. "
