KOLKATA:- Andre Iniesta bids his retirement from international and domestic football. He is Aladdin. He is Andre Iniesta. He alone could find the miracle lamp. At least when the strikers were lying in wait for the ball in the forest of the opposing defenders, he was a dream come true. Three footballers looked at his feet. The quick legs are deceiving the opponent’s eyes every moment.
It looks like he will run towards the goal himself. Or when it seemed like a long shot was just waiting for time, he would surprise everyone by writing the address on the ball. The rest is magic. Sometimes Messi, sometimes David Villa. But in the world of football, how many goals have Iniesta’s name written on them, he has no idea. The magician said goodbye to football and put it in a lamp.
He did not bloom less flowers for Spain. Whether for the country or for the club. No matter which striker is in the side, his pairing is equal weight in opening the goalmouth. Iniesta has contributed to the country’s football culture like a river. His basin has gradually developed. On which again the country has become dependent. Football is a team game, but from time to time this single skill has become synonymous with the country. Iniesta is therefore another football culture. Where Spain or Barca fans are not the only ones. Football lovers all over the world love to travel. Because where is the comfort of the eyes! Who can easily give such peace of mind! As he could give eye-catching pictures in football.
But now that is all in the past. Now it is purely a matter of practice. Relinquished the Spain jersey in 2018 after the World Cup defeat. He has left Barcelona for a long time. After that, Emirates Club via Vissel Kobe. The magic of his feet has been hidden from the public eye for a long time. But the announcement of the end means the end. So it is real that the magic of that wonderful lamp will no longer be seen. There is no choice but to accept it.
In the end, one thing can be said, thank you Iniesta. Football should not be measured by what you go through. The football god will take care of that offering. However, regret does not go away. Football will move forward on the shoulders of new stars. But the magic of that night, that gallery full of people trembling with anticipation, that run towards the goal, that intelligently extended address written pass, and finally the ball caught in the goal… where else is that magic! And when will be such an evening? Maybe not. Messi does not score from his pass. That chapter passed six years ago. Maybe nothing will be the same again. One by one the magic is being taken away from the twilight of generations. Took away the magician too. However, he does not forget the memory. Those incredible moments will forever remain there, the amazing lamp of Iniesta will shine.
