Ghanaian midfielder Majeed Ashimeru has revealed that former Barcelona star Andres Iniesta is his role model.
Iniesta has won a lot of accolades in his career including two European Championships and the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
He also won multiple titles with Barcelona. Currently, he plays in Japan as he nears retirement.
In an exclusive interview with Joy Sports Owuraku Ampofo, Ashimeru explained why Iniesta is his role model.
“Iniesta is my role model because on the pitch he is very decent. You don’t see him fighting with others. He brings so much to the game."
“Whenever he started a game for Barcelona, they had an 80% chance of winning. Off the pitch I believe he is someone we have to look up to because he behaves so well and that’s why he has been my role model from when I was young,” Ashimeru added.
Ashimeru also stated that he loves to score and assist.
“I like to score but when I assist someone I feel much happier than me scoring. Everyone scores but not everyone can give an assist. When I assist a friend I feel I did a good job for him to score. That’s what I like about Iniesta, he doesn’t think of himself all the time. He thinks of his teammates. I love to score, but I also love to assist.”
