The roll of the calendar wouldn't be the end of Covid-19.

What would determine this would be our hygiene, fitness, discipline cure and ultimately a vaccine.

I was only referring to the remaining months left in 2020, not the Covid-19 pandemic.

Can 2020 just be deleted entirely

Tragically, we are stuck in it for the next 7-8 months.

Swissh:
The bold is a lie. Xavi was a better passer and iniesta was not a better goalscorer than Xavi. The only thing iniesta did better than Xavi was his dribbling ability. Iniesta's record as a goalscorer considering his ability and the times he's played as part of Barca and Spains front 3 is very poor. He averaged 0.08 goals per game for Barca and 0.1 for Spain.
Xavi was a better goalscorer for Barca. He averaged 0.11 goals per game, and he played deeper. He matched Iniesta's 0.1 goals for Spain, despite again playing deeper.
Regarding assists as well as creativity Xavi was also more prolific and better.

Okay. I think I might have been quite sentimental about the goal-scoring part. You won't blame me, Iniesta has scored more important goals for both Barcelona and Spain than the other, so I think my psyche focused mainly on that.

Apologies once again.

Back to the matter.

Well It’s quite difficult to actually answer the question, but I’ll try:

Statistically Iniesta(33) has won more trophies than Xavi(31). Making him the most decorated Spanish player. Xavi has scored more goals(58) for Barca than Iniesta(35). Iniesta has won Spain the World Cup and effortlessly won the Euro 2012 being the best player of the tournament, he was simple untouchable. Whereas Xavi has developed the team into a midfield oriented team and also was the best player of Euro 2008, he was the pivot midfielder Spain needed.

Now let’s analyse (the fun part of everthing):

Xavi : His main strength is his vision and passing. There are a few players who are able to pass like Xavi. He is arguably the best and definitely the most influential midfielder of his era. However, when say passing it is better to say GROUNDED PASSING, because you can go into history to pick players to who were actually better LOFTED PASSERS like: Scholes, Guti, Xabi Alonso, Pirlo etc in recent history. However what makes Xavi different from other great central midfielders is his powerful perfection while executing a pass. Opening the defense while staying in position is what makes Xavi different from other greats. But one thing that itched Xavi throughout his career is lack of dribbling ability and prowess with feet.
Iniesta : He is brilliant in every aspect of the game. There is no other more complete footballer than Andres Iniesta. He can attack, defend, create and score. Probably the most versatile and unique player of all-time and one of the best players of his era. Under Rijkaard he played as a false 9, attacking midfielder and winger. Iniesta is a player who can not only win leagues but also matches when it matters with his consistency and sheer prowess. However, it is very difficult to pick a flaw in Iniesta’s game but still to pick one it would be the requirement of assistance, i.e. an extra helping midfielder.
FINAL VERDICT :

BETTER POSITIONAL PLAYER : XAVI, able to dictate the midfield, elite passing ability, unparalleled vision and unchallenged short passing
BETTER OVERALL FOOTBALLER : INIESTA, able to do anything- literally ANYTHING, supreme passing ability, sharp vision and alien like dribbling


I would finish with saying that when you compare passing and vision Xavi is margin better than Iniesta, but not leagues ahead of Iniesta because Iniesta is one of the greatest passers himself. However, when it comes to pace, ball control and dribbling ability Iniesta takes the cake, because Xavi is no where as good as Iniesta when it comes to dribbling and Iniesta is leagues better than Xavi in dribbling and pace.

So it’s now up to you. Whom you want to chose. A player with elite passing and vision or a player who can do everything with distinction.

ddippset:
It is hard to separate Iniesta and Xavi.


One was flashy and graceful, the other was very efficient and direct.


Oga sorry I cannot fit answer ya question.






NB

On a second thought, it depends on the composition of my current team.

If I already have a player in the mould of Busquets I'd go for Iniesta.
But if I already have a player like Neymar or Messi I'd go for Xavi.

So you see, I still cannot answer your question.

You no well.. Lol

But make I ask you. With the composition comprising of Neymar and Messi, how you go take manage the team?

You go drop Messi to AMF abi na Neymar?

peterd53:
Xavi Hernandez for sure!!
The only player to make 4 assists in a single el Classico game

Lol.. This part doesn't really hold much water. Iniesta has got better feats than this.

Sommyroy10:
Oh sorry.
At their prime, you are a manager, you had space for just one and you let the other go, who would choose to stay?

I beg to differ a bit with other cules opinions.

Xavi is a brilliant player, no doubt. But saying he's a tier above Iniesta is kinda shocking and way too unfair. I'm not saying the guy is not good or trying to downplay his midfield prowess but man, Iniesta is just too underrated.

Ffks, Iniesta is a machine. Dude has the capacity to drop deep into defenses and cause troubles among defenders. Andre, with the ball at his feet, is a phenomenon right from the midfield to the opposition box.

Dude has the capacity to shoot long distances, dribble, score and throw passes ( He has the capacity to do the first three even better than Xavi). Xavi on his part can take control of a game better from the midfield. His output offensively is great but not as wonderful as Iniesta's.

IKON360, I agree with you as regarding Xavi's spectacular touches but man, Iniesta is not too be downplayed with the comparison of Silva and De Bruyne. They are different.

And yes, possession alone doesn't win a game for you. Creativity and ability to score goals does; which is why Andre got the MVP award in the Spanish WC triumph in 2010.

These are my opinions though.

JasonJidenna:
The greatest calamity here is you calling "Own goal" Home goal


Yobo is a good defender.

Was.

Don't mind those guys, they prolly started watching football during the 2014 WC

DelphiOracle:
he was just fortunate to be in d right place at the right time. Abeg leave matter.

Kanu Nwankwo also had the same opportunity. It's just like comparing Bojan and Messi.
Potentials differ bro. Mike knew what he wanted and stuck to it. If not for Mourinho that chose to displace him, probably the guy would have enjoyed more game time and impacted more ( He might have been a bad disaster too).

Another great player with such potential is Wilfred Ndidi, - That's if injuries doesn't damper his career.

chloride6:
Yobo?

Even prime Matic is better than Ndidi

The only time Matic would be considered better than Ndidi is during his last days at Benfica. Since then, he would play second-fiddle to Ndidi in any team.

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr
Mikel is one overrated dumb fuckkk

Back pass master
Who go ever believe say na them Mikel and Juan Fran, Fernando llorente, David Silva, cesc fabregas, Roberto Jimenez, Sergio aguero, Lionel Messi , Pablo zabaleta, radamel falcao, filipe luiz
Na them start and play ball together
I dey shame for mikel

How many other African players way start with Mikel reach the same stage way he reach?

Bilabong:
Who is this one? Can u please bring some of the tribal comments or post for all to see?

Bilabong:
Ondo just score one... Meanwhile kano don score tire...

I can see through your post and the gutted tribal links it has in it. But need I remind you that this isn't a competition between States or countries. Rather it is a fight for life and worthy living. You coming to rant here about the epidemic happenings and how it affects Kano more (in case of death), is really inhumane and not something you showcase your teeth for.

Don't be surprised, you might be the next person to be infected wherever you are based. I believe you wouldn't want the same joke to be on you.

Be careful.

Even weddings aren't meant to be done lavishly. The people coming to eat and drink won't be there to pay the bills after D-day? You spend according to a reasonable budget, regardless of the course.

What a pity... I was only 6 days old when I found out.

Innocence lost so early.

But on a serious note, I believe the legs are there to serve one purpose which is to aid the Owl pick up and grip its prey effortlessly and not to aid fast/ rapid locomotion, if you get my point.

I mean, its ability to fly long distances more than makes up for it.

You are exactly correct. Owls don't move long distances for the most part of their lives so the long legs can't possibly be for locomotion.

emmabest2000:
Dem just want to console africanas

Drogba in eague 1
played 80 games
scored 39 goals

Ibrahimovic in league 1
played 133 games
Scored 112 goals

The difference is clear

Meanwhile can anyone explain what the short man in Argentina shirt was thinking

To all shorty fans if u quote me and talk nonsense 疫情 will catch you

They are only trying to be dubious. Comparing Drogba to Ibrahimovic is just too ridiculous in every ramifications. I mean, Drogba dude didn't even outscore Anelka as a foreign player playing in the EPL, let alone Ibra. PSG and France wouldn't forget him in a jiffy.

ddippset:
All the big teams too.

..You know as e day be for us na.

Dembele, Authur, Suarez and the likes.

Sommyroy10:
All leagues would have ended by July. So at least 2weeks rest before champions league.

If Dembele is fully recovered, he won't even feature in la liga.

I hope so

Lol.. This one catch you. You for just jejely stone the goat o. Why you carry whole hot water pour am?

Abi you wanted to skin the hoat alive?

Ishilove:
You are evil and sadistic. Why must you pour hot water on the animal? Goats are very stubborn but by the time you pour cold water on them repeatedly, they will learn to associate your backyard with cold water and a wet body, and will start avoiding the area.

You better confess to her before we see on Nairaland Front page- 'Pandemonium As Man Suddenly Starts Bleating Like A Goat'

Ishi, you no well walahi.

What you did was really wrong cause you hurt the animal unjustly. But you do not have to fear the woman. every rational human knows charms does not work. she is only trying to put fear in you But it would be good if you tell the woman you hurt her animal

I day laff for you already.

Ha. But why would the Kenyan government take things across without proper procedures na. Their negligence have caused six beautiful souls their life.

ddippset:
Arthur is the closest thing I've seen to Xavi.

I disagree o. The guy has got potentials but is still Far-ahead.

ddippset:
Any deal to send Arthur away from us would be devilish.

Those board guys must be devil worshippers.

I ageee with you bro. I don't know that the board hopes to achieve selling Authur or initiating a swap deal. This guy has got the potentials to help Barcelona strong( once he's not injured). Rakitic has done his best for us, let him ply his trade elsewhere. I don't know what we need Pjanic for anyways.

On another news, the officials claimed that they'd be playing two times a week; Wednesdays and Sundays.

Great. This is a great gesture from the church to the public. Exactly what the embodiment of Christ should be doing. The Tithes and Offerings aren't a sham after all..

MichealKin50:
This is the same girl December last year before proposing to her, I asked her if she has cheated on me before. To get the truth from her, I lied to her that I've cheated on her she also told me she has cheated on me. When I finally told her that I was lying about cheating on her that since we met I've never seen another girl she also told me that she was lying too about cheating on me. When I told her to swear with the Holy Bible she refused to swear. I went ahead and proposed to her on 31st December hoping to marry her before end of this year.

I don't understand you o.

Are you seeking reaffirmation for what you already know or confused or just here to waste our time. I'm asking because every of these things you mentioned are red flags. And besides, why would you even lie to your partner to get the truth out? It's like you are kinda insecure.

This your story is just like one of those "twitter" stories.
