Barcelona hitman Lionel Messi has expressed his
admiration for Andres Iniesta’s foot-work on the
ball. Messi alongside Iniesta are graduates of
Barcelona’s Team B and the Argentine revealed
that though they both play similarly but the
Spaniard still has edge over him.

“I always picture him with the ball at his feet.
That’s the way I have got used to seeing him.
He does everything well, with simplicity,” he said.
“At times, it may look like he’s not doing
anything, but in fact he’s doing it all. Everything
is different with Andrés.
The hardest thing to do in football is to make it
look like everything is easy, effortless, and that’s
Andrés. Andrés and I are similar in that we both
use our bodies a lot, to avoid opponents. But he
has something that always amazes me: there’s
always a moment when you think you’re going to
catch him, when you think you’re going to get
the ball off him, but you can’t. He’s not
especially quick, but he has that ability to
always get away from you, which comes from
his technique.”
