Xavi Hernández

Amazing skill. Yet, his smart defensive work together with Busquets overshadows everything for me. Very good vertical movement and support to Bossquets in the center. The midfield pressing worked really well because of those two.

+1

Surpassing Raul (79), Xavi is the first player in history who won 80 Champions League games #fcblive #ucl [via md]

He is having a great season,looks godlike in keeping possesion,but it really frustrates me he is not playing trough balls,or waiting to long to release them.

ive noticed this too. what adds to the frustration is that one of the best in the world (leo) at recieving throughballs, has started a habit of not making through runs, but hanging back during breaks or through-ball opportunities.

Xavi: "We are improving. There's still margin to get better. Our philosophy stays the same. We want to play good, and win." #fcblive

Great game by Xavi, he could of had Neymar but it was offside by a whisker. Nice assist to Busi regardless.

Xavi


He played a lot latelly so he should be benched in the next games. He is in great form so he shouldn't stop it with an injury.

Xavi looked like a Wizard out there yesterday. It was amazing watching him work.

 

[barca1899]

Xavi: "We are doing well, the results are good, we're getting better, although we have to be criticial, our game can still improve."

Xavi: "Our style shouldn't change, we won a lot using it. There's no debate. Our philosophy is to play well, to have the ball, to attack..."

Xavi: "I'm less important in the new system? The system didn't change. And on the contrary, I feel more important now. I have a great role."

Xavi: "Neymar is lethal when counterattacking. He links up well, has a good last pass, can make the difference... He's an excellent player."

Xavi: "I won't play next games with Spain. I talked with Vicente del Bosque and we decided I would rest this time." #fcblive

The interviewers are so harsh... It's not like we're playing route 1 Stoke-esque "football", yet the questions are almost exclusively about how we are "monotonous" (that word was used easy 10 times in the Dani/Tata pressers)
