Xavi Hernández

hehe he could be thinking of Frenkie there tbh

I watched the training clips where they did some "fun" things after the game, for example played with tennis balls and tried to head the ball into a bin. Luuk seemed to have a pretty good natural talent, watching those. He also seems very clinical on these cross drills in training...

He's not. It's just the rest of our team are so anemic, FDJ looks like a workhorse Edgar David by comparison. Sad state of affairs.

I don't see any similarities with Edgar Davids. Frenkie was great playing the libero last season, but recently he's stuck with the Iniesta position, which he still struggles with. He did well against Espanyol, was more agile and quick compared to Koeman games this season, but given the opponent's quality it's not a great compliment.

Xavi has already spent the last cent he'll ever sanction to be paid to the Petro club

FCBarca still thinks Barca are on moral crusade against 'petro' dollars.

Gullible.

He probably thinks that Xavi was forced to play and coach in Qatar.

Frenkie de jong is a physical player and a work horse. He would be for any team.

Compared to the other weaklings in our team maybe. He's no Edgar Davids though. That guy was a pitbull.

Xavi: "Physicality? You don't have to measure 2 meters and weigh 85 kilos. It depends on the game model you want to play, it's not my priority to be physically strong, but with players like Nico and De Jong, we have them too."

That's it. BBZ will lose his marbles.

No one is Edgar Davids.

This is going to come back to haunt him.

Xavi's training drills of yesterday included game of red hands.

Stunning.

 

[Windhook]

I liked the tennis ball drills, no idea what's behind this but seemed to be fun for the squad.

BBZ?! half the forum is drooling at pics of bayern players half naked on instagram.

xavi didn't say anything out of the ordinary. having 11 gorillas lined up doesn't mean they play good football.

 

[iniestaGOAT]

Physicality is overrated. Its all about heart. Players like De jong and Gavi will put a fight up against anybody.

We need players dirty do anything to win players like Luis Suarez instead.

Ofc everybody would love a Yaya Toure but they dont exist anymore. Modern football is soft.
