MD: You seem very excited about him…
Xavi: And I have reasons for that. Sergio plays better every time. He figured out that he’s becoming more and more important, that he’s vital for the team’s play. He does more and more things and he does them better every time. Busi defends well, attacks well, applies pressure better, he interprets the game as no one else, he’s always in the place the team and his teammate need him to be… And above that, he dares to give passes that even though he could do before but didn’t. He plays vertically and that benefits the three ‘aliens’ in front a lot. And he’s not fast or very strong, even though he wins all the duels… For me, he is without a doubt, the best midfielder in the world. And with plenty of difference. It’s that clear. Seeing him play in every game is a spectacle.
