Hello friends of Steemit, especially those passionate about football, I hope you feel very well and that all your investments continue to grow. Today we will talk a little about the process of adaptation that has lived in your new club, one of the players very international recognition.
I'm talking about Andres Iniesta Lujan, born on May 11, 1984 in Fuentealbilla, Spain, one of the most important players of Barcelona F.C in which he announced his departure from the club earlier this year.
After the surprising announcement, everything pointed to Iniesta leaving Barcelona to go to Chinese football, but one day in a meeting with Hiroshi Mikitani, owner of Rakuten, Japan's largest online store.
Before going to the last World Cup with Spain in Russia 2018, he signed a contract to play in the club Vissel Kobe of Japan. The player who today is 34 years old and has already won 32 titles with Barcelona, 2 Euro and 1 World Cup, now faces a new experience, which he sees as a great project.
Before embarking on his journey, he waited a little to travel with his wife and three children. From the first moment he got on the plane, he knew that more than being a sporting challenge, it was also a change in his lifestyle. In Japan he had to learn a new language which is not very easy to learn and adapt to a culture with totally different customs, this in turn means a new beginning with his family, something he took with good expectations.
He was presented at the Noevir Stadium in the city of Kobe in western Japan to some 8,000 fans who gave him a warm welcome. Fans made posters with welcome messages in Spanish while chanting his name to make him feel at home. His team-mates welcomed him as one of their own, especially their captain, none other than Germany's Lukas Podolski, who has been with the club for over a year.
He released his new jersey with the number 8 he had in Barcelona. In his first match was the same Podolski who enabled him to score his first goal in Japan.
Now he is with his family in Japan, motivated with this new adventure, together with his wife and 3 children. They took a new direction with more encouragement than ever, because they feel that what is to come will be very good for them. That's why the player feels very motivated playing in his second club of his career, hoping to be champion soon.
