Andre Iniesta has landed in Japan, where he will launch a new chapter in his career after signing with Vissel Kobe, signing a 3-year contract after leaving Barcelona.
The 34-year-old midfielder recently announced his withdrawal from the Spanish national team after failing in the 2018 World Cup and will now devote 100% to the new team. This is the first time Iniesta will start a season away from Camp Nou after wearing the “blaugrana” shirt at the age of 12.

“It was a long way up here, but I’m looking forward to this new adventure in Japan, knowing teammates and playing with them. I hope the fans have fun and I promise you that I will give you the best possible, showing them my skills as a footballer. I want to play as soon as possible and by Sunday I will be in the optimal form, “Iniesta said, expected by hundreds of fans at the airport. The Vissel Kobe squad, where to play Iniesta, is ranked amongst the rankings, while the championship has started for 15 weeks./Flashsport24
