“I think winning the World Cup is a huge source of happiness for him. Winning the World Cup with their style makes this victory perfectly deserved. Sure, winning the World Cup. Regardless, I’m sure that those who don’t. If I don’t see Messi as the best, I will find excuses to continue to maintain this vision.”
He also commented on the World Cup final between Argentina and France: “I think it was the best final ever in terms of goals, emotions and everything that happened during the match. It was definitely a fantastic match for the fans and deserved a World Cup Final.” Iniesta also spoke of his home team, Spain, who were eliminated in the round of 16.
“I think we should continue with the style of play model (to increase possession). If we can give 100%, then the style of play model is good. Other elements were missing to win against
“I think the idea has to be kept alive. Every game is different and we have to find solutions for every game. There will always be solutions, if (Pablo) Sarabia had scored at the end maybe there wouldn’t have been this discussion.”
“We were all disappointed by the loss, but these experiences will help us learn and improve.”
