Xavi Hernández

[ammarfcb]

yes. this is how he will look when his our manager

 

[innniesta]

does anyone else notice when xavi is put through on goal (yes it is kinda rare) that he always puts it in ? everytime xavi is put through im like yessssssssssssssssss its gonna be a goal and surely he puts it in. I use to have this feeling with messi but is it me or has messi's finishing been a bit off this season ? i know his stats are still impressive but in previous seasons u know when he was thru that its a goal but now sometimes he misses or gets ball taken from him, im not criticising him as he's been excellent but anyone else notice this ?

it's like when it's crucial he just decides, fuck it. i'll do it myself. then goes in there like a boss and puts it in, remember the arsenal goal, the madrid one and this where he just sticks that shit in the net

 

[gingerless]

smart xavi.

 

[Ode to Django]

Certainly the best i've ever seen i hope he continues to play until 36 or so and if he keeps his ridiculous consistency going up until then he'll be the GOAT in my eyes

 

[Yugi]

it also depends on how Messi will turn out to be in future
if he gets his god form in 26 just like Maradona did than, holy shit son

omg. imagine that. messi is still not at his prime. that's the kind off shit mourinho has nightmares about.

I think Messi's prime was last season (as was Xavi's & Iniesta's).

I really wish he could win the Ballon d'Or this year. He deserves it.

And Cesc's prime when will it be?

True dat....

Not as good this season as last IMO - so far. However Xavi's still phenomenal - no question about that and possibly of greater importance to this team than anyone (maybe even Messi).

And Cesc's prime when will it be?

Dunno but Cesc is improving all the time. Possibly a few seasons on when Xavi retires and Fabregas gets to boss the midfield. Gets the limelight in other words.

 

[Catalonian Devil]

Of course everyone is past their prime, the stage is set for Cesc to lead us to glory

All hail the Fab the savior

Prime or no prime, Xavi is almost 32 and is still fighting for best player awards every year, that's phenomenal and almost unheard of in a time where the sport is more physically demanding ever. I doubt even Messi or Iniesta will be this great and consistent when they're 32.

Xavi's fitness is remarkable. We thought that Cesc and Thiago had been brought to preserve Xavi, but on the contrary he has played more than any other midfielder so far with no signs of fatigue and actually seems fresher than all of them. His fitness is amazing.
