Xavi does this so often but every single time he does it I'm in awe, I think it was a move about min 42 that ended in Messi's 2nd goal. a pure piece of art. he was looking for options, seeing Cesc in like a fraction of a second and at the same time turning his head and upper body away from Cesc's direction and the defender he's facing (as if he sees that way blocked and has decided to pass sideways) and laying an all round perfect pass towards Cesc who then did a nice turn and assisted Messi's fine finish.
I was watching the slow motion replay and was in awe of how fast all these are done for Xavi. sometimes he really makes it look like fantasy.

And Xavi also has a quality that often gets overlooked, he not only knows how to make a pass, he also knows how to receive a pass... Almost all the times a team mate passes to him, his position is flawless and he always receives the ball facing towards the opposition's goal, it is just fantastic...

Exactly. What makes him the running engine of the team is exactly that he's the distributor but he's also so very often on the receiving end of a pass as well. It's a very important aspect of his play for the players around him.
You read so often in this thread that people say they feel confident when he's on the pitch. you get that feeling because that is the feeling Xavi creates among his teammates when he plays. you reflect the confidence and calmness the team feels when he's around.
That's exactly because of the simple fact that you can trust him any time that he can receive a pass but and do something useful with it. Several of our players have said time and time again when they don't know what to do next they just pass the ball to Xavi and always knows what's the next move. He's always there to make a clueless pass into something fruitful for the team. He brings his teammates out of dead lock. This kind of player creates a huge mental boost in the players around him. And as Pep says mind can do everything.

Analyzing his play and role in the team creates football orgasms.

He is the cog which makes everything tick

Anyone else notice sometimes Xavi has a great option to make a throughball but he doesn't? It's like he doesn't want to take even a little bit of risk.

Last game I noticed it 3 times. One was a Fabregas run, another Villa run and an Adriano run - he saw them and could've picked a pass but he didn't. When in desperate need of a goal, risks should be taken even if it means loss of possession.

Xavi being...Xavi, in yesterday's PC:

Xavi: "No. We are not satisfied with the draw."

Xavi: "Qatar? Our economic situation marks that we need it."

Xavi: "The 3-4-3 is a very very good formation for us because we populate the midfield, but it has risks."

Xavi: "Little by little. with a little more order, we'll get used to that system and have more control of the ball."

Xavi: "Valencia is a great team, they made it complicated for us yesterday."

Xavi: "The team are physically well, we dominate in almost all aspects. We feel very good."

Xavi: "We are ahead of Madrid but we are behind 3 other teams. We are only trying to focus on ourselves."


Xavi: "The two draws are not good results. This isn't a league of two, I don't know what's right but you see how close it is (in the table)"

Xavi: "I don't know what you're talking about (journo ask about Real Madrid). I'm not there, I am not interested in such talks."

Xavi: "Iker and I have been talking about the seleccion, we are very well." lol stop making problems for Iker xavi

Xavi: "With Iker we talk about the seleccion and personal things, we do not talk about Real Madrid."

Xavi: "Against Atletico it's usually marked with goals and a spectacular show. They've won twice home, it should be a good game."

Xavi: "Referees can be wrong, sometimes for us, sometimes against us. But they are doing their job."

Xavi: "Talks about the 'League of Two' is nonsense and a lack of respect for other teams. There is a high level in the League."

Xavi: "In Anoeta two defensive forgetfulness cost us the tie."

Xavi: "Obviously, it is important to get three points." Xavi raises brows like why u mad tho

Xavi: "Cesc is doing well at the moment but you can always do better. There is always room for improvements."

Xavi: "Thiago is currently at a soaring level in scoring goals. We try to help everybody to improve."

Xavi: "I said Cesc is compatible with all. With Cesc we move around more, where I'm not, he is, vice versa. He improves everybody's game."

Xavi: "I don't know if we're still the favourite to win the league. I'm not the one who can tell these things."

Xavi: "Leo is the best footballer in the world and will remain so for years. Leo is a generous person, he misses but then he assists." I saw what u did thar

apparently Xavi was told that Rosell loves hunting mushroom & he replied, "Ah, I didn't know that! I'll call so we can go together." haha Pique, Xavi's gonna be the next president bro be patient.

Xavi: "I can't judge José Mourinho as a manager. Here was a guy who taught the concepts of football, now I do not know."
