Some people blame Messi for not pressing, others say Xavi's decline is the problem, then we have the Alves brigade. I think it's a bit silly to blame individuals players... Pep himself said he couldn't motivate the players, as a team united we don't have the same desire to be the best. I think under the right manager and in the correct environment Xavi, Alves, Messi etc can all become world beaters again.
Is that Xavi's brother?

My spanish is very poor, but from what I understood:
Javier, with all the admiration, Congratulations on your great career. A big hug.
Maybe another member can get it more accurate.
That can only mean that Xavi wants to play until he's 40! :tata1:
"Put him next to Jones in midfield and we'd rule the world for a year or so."
