He is a coward (From Flickr)
Please try to read the title of this post in context. Xavi is a good player, what I mean by the title is that he is not as good as FIFA (aka Barcelona’s eternal friend) rank or think him to be. Continuing from my Ballon Dor Joke post, I noticed that Xavi has been ranked amongst the top 5 players in the world for the past 4 or 5 years now and I am bemused by that. Xavi is a simple Barcelona player who has been at the club for many years and is now a senior in the Barcelona dressing room. He is so old that he has even played with Guardiola, the guy who coaches Barcelona now. Lets cut to the chase, here are the 3 reasons why I think Xavi is so overrated.
- Exactly why has he been awarded the 2nd position two times and other top positions for the past half a decade or so, is a mystery to me. One reason could be that he plays for Barcelona, who in turn play for UEFA as UNICEF is the sponsor on Barcelona jerseys for which Barcelona plays1millioneurostoUNICEFeveryyearout of their own pockets. The only thing Xavi is good at is horizontal passing and turning. He has a good sense of the game and nice ball control, but that is so common amongst player who play in his position. Prime example is Xabi of Real Madrid, but his passing range is way more than of Xavi. All Xavi does is, he takes the ball, looks up and if he sees a defender coming he turns around 360 like a pussy cat and passes to his defenders or his goalkeeper, something which Makalele was a master of,why did he not get any nominations for being the best player in the world?I don’tknow.

Those who commented b4 me have said it all. If you are fair enough you should have given this genius some credits. For singling him out to talk about him means he is ideal. Only the ideal player can get this type of harsh and unchecked comment.
I don’t think that it is a hidden fact that even average players who stay at a club for a long time perform at high levels towards the end of their career. Look at Guti. At manchester, Scholes and Giggs are seen as legends, though they have done nothing that demands that merit. Case being, just like Messi, Xavi needs to leave Barcelona and play for another club in order to showcase his talents, which obviously he won’t do.
lol! This is absolutely
ludicrous! The blind eye this “author” has for a living legend is beyond me.
shameless fool,your english is even poor how then can you judge an educated dud like xavi,fool
Okay…..
Ridiculously biased article, Xabi Alonso ( he’s still world class ) is the slowest player on earth, can’t dribbler anybody, not composed enough under pressure yet you think he’s better than Xavi ( who always schools him in Classicos ), Kaka is 5 years past it, I don’t know why you compare him to the best midfielder in the world.
Alonso has better range of passing and I Don’t think we should bring speed into an argument about Xavi and Xabi.
This critique is very dense and i’m Madridismo.
I understand u r a R.Madrid fan poor u
Yes you speak the truth, those comdaming you are fanatic Barce fans.
Thank you for the support mate 🙂
I think you should watch more football to understand. You are so naive.
This is a great example why drugs are bad. If you can’t see the brilliance of Xavi something is clearly wrong with you. I even feel sorry for you that you cannot see the beauty of his game.
If he turns 360 degrees then he’s back in his original position. You are clearly very biased, and possibly the only person to ever compare Makalele to Xavi. Very different playing styles.
you are a lier…xavi never played with gadiola..
