The end of Barcelona’s golden generation is near, a little part of La Masia is
dying with the retirement of Don Andres in Barcelona, the player who won
the heart of the rival. Now there is an unknown fact in his future, just last
year he signed a permanent contract for staying for life at his home team, so
what change his mind for his retirement of his loved club, basically the pur-
chase of the new Brazilian star Philippe Coutinho is a way to tell that Iniesta
is over in the team and the requirement of a generational change.
In fact of getting a new team is not a problem for the big Maestro Andres
Iniesta, almost every team in Europe will pay millions of pounds to have him
in their squad, a player full of experience and a little of career to offer, but
also a lot of motivation for his teammates.
Between the main options there is staying in Europe but that will not be bet-
ter that staying at Barcelonas bench, where he can stay at home with his
family and generating millions of dollars, trying to prove himself at other
competitive league can even affect his prestige and all his career in case of
not getting succeed, in that moment it is where appears the easiest option,
moving to the Chinese Super League where he can make even more money
that in every team in the world, getting a lot of economically stability at a
very low level of football reducing his efforts but also his soccer level, losing
a place at the national team.
The last option will be staying at Barcelona, where at the moment he is an
indisputable player and that’s his worry, in matter of time being supplied by
Coutinho and start being debatable in the first squad, that’s what Iniesta
doesn’t want for his high prestige career, the decision of where to go is in
him, he decide what is better, start the generational change or retire in the
team of his dreams.
