Xavi Hernández

[karthik]

Maybe a wise decision. Valencia has always been an high intense game away from home

can someone translate this into english? it's a lot of work since there's 28 minutes of footage and interviews

Mr 90 Mins. I think he's going for all time stamina records these days. Has barely added anything to this team so far this season.

Xavi shouldn't be playing as much as he has been since the season started, and definitely not as much as last season, but to say he adds nothing is just plain wrong. The team needs him to reach their maximum. Barcelona without Xavi is Barcelona at 50% power. Xavi holds everything together, and this is visible every time he's subbed on or off, or when you compare games with/without him in the lineup. This is not to say that Fabregas or Iniesta or whoever don't add their thing, or that they don't possibly add more at this point (in fact, I recently said I think Iniesta-Busquets-Fabregas is our strongest option at the moment), but I'm just saying, Xavi is still incredibly valuable and irreplaceable and he makes all the difference in the world.

Comes on, restores tiki-taka, assists a goal. Business as usual. DAT Xavi.

"Mr 90 minutes, waste of space, doesn't add anything to the team honestly"

Definitely added a whole lot of stability into the game when he came on. Made us look like Barcelona out of nowhere again. Although he may not be at his peak of 08-11, he's still the master.

I didn't see a reason to sub him on, though. Why not just stay and rest, were already 2:0 or 3:0 up and it was late in the second half. Oh well.

He wasnt Mr 90 today hence he contributed nicely! This is what we want from our future capo.

God you almost forget how much class he posses but when you see him come on as a sub its just like "who's that guy with the flawless first touch who never loses that ball and is making the whole team tick tock." Gotta be the Maestro.
