ANDRES INIESTA has revealed that he had a special connection with Kyogo as he listed the best players he’s played with throughout his career.
The Barcelona legend played alongside Kyogo in Japan with Vissel Kobe, where they built a relationship.
Throughout his career, Iniesta played with some great players for both his club and country, and for Kyogo to even be mentioned alongside them is remarkable.
Iniesta said: [Yahoo Japan]
“I had the opportunity to play with the best players.
“For example, Samuel Eto’o, [Thierry] Henry, Luis Suarez, David Villa, Fernando Torres… I had a pretty good connection with Kyogo (Furuhashi) in Japan.
“The important thing is to get to know each other and when to unmark and make a pass, and the forwards strengthen the midfielders.”
Kyogo has been off the boil lately, but his quality is undoubted. Last season he was hitting the back of the net for fun and scored some quality and vital goals when we needed him most.
The Japanese forward benefited from the Spaniard’s pinpoint passing, with it a forward’s dream to play with a player who can use the ball as well as Iniesta.
He’ll get back to his best soon enough. He’s probably lacking some confidence at the moment, and his Japan World Cup snub won’t have helped him.
