How many year did it take Xavi to break into Barcelona’s first eleven without Inesta?

When did Inesta break into that first eleven?

And when did Xavi break in?

The answers of the aforementioned questions will help you understand the point that Inesta refined, influenced and impacted Xavi’s games.

Vice verse.

Individually, they are shiit!!

As much as I agree with you, the same standards used to drag others should be applied to Mazi Fraudniesta Iniesta.

Giroud played the World cup with no goal, and we never rest till today. Be reminded that the WC tournament has less games than the league

Iniesta went through a year without a goal or assist, but we should talk about Creativity, influence and class.

Nna, don't make a case for Iniesta abeg. Let him be dragged accordingly.

I had to check again, that’s like 2 goals every year. Funny enough I used to score with him on PES so much .
35 goals in 16years

2 goals a year?

donstan18:

In the spirit of dragging.....

Zidane is a small boy compared to Bale.

This, I mean in all aspect you want to come from.

Creativity, Goals, number of trophies and assists.

Zidane will only beat him in individual awards.

Ogbeni everybody wanted VVD, Liverpool were lucky he choose them. Rest joor

Belotti was poor today, simple

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Unproductive Willian - 38 league goals in 8 years in EPL

Productive Iniesta - 35 league goals in 16 years in LaLiga.

Lord, send me a helper like you did for Iniesta so I can sit before Kings

Ibime:


It does not matter. What matters is what you do when you get there.

How long did it take Drogba and Kante to break into elite football?

Iniesta is not the one that helped Xavi break into first team. By the way it's not like Xavi has not been a useful first team player before then, just know he was competing against Deco for the same position who was also a don himself.

Zidane can't be dragged by central midfielders of his era when it comes to productivity. Zidane played in 4-4-2 era and his stats stand up against all his peers in the same position in the same era.

Even from a different era where midfielders were not goalscorers, Zidane has 95 league goals while Iniesta has 35. That's nearly 3 to 1.

How can someone come from a different era where the expectations are different and flog you 3 to 1

donstan18:
Inesta-Xavi midfielder was a real one and actually not a lie. The success of that midfield was due to their contributions, not one sided.

Both needed each other. They excelled because they played together. Xavi calms the midfield down with his passes and game reading skills, while Inesta refines the attacking settings with his skills, moves, ability to spin, control and moving the ball around. You can’t credit one and discredit one. Never!!

Xavi was very useless before Inesta and Inesta ended up useless after Xavi left. They were individually useless, unproductive, incompetent and ineffective in that midfield. None could operate alone.

Thanks to their stars Lampard and Gerard didn’t play club football in the same team.

Debroslink:


Iniesta still won La liga after Xavi left. Iniesta won UCL without Xavi beside him.

Someone should tell us the UCL Xavi won without Iniesta

Coild you put your money where your mouth is?

Let's do a quick one $100

Why not send a mail to Bleacherreport and do a quick $100?

From March 2014 to March 2015, no goal no assist.

But I forgot to add ..There was so much creativity.

donstan18:
Ozil is better than Inesta.

If e sure you, come forward.

donstan18:

Inesta and Zidane aren’t mate in anyway.

Zidane is way above his level IMO.

I made that point to let know that statistically, any player can be dragged by any fanbase.

Havertz10:
iniesta is better

In what way is Zidane above his level? Bring those points out let me break them.

Inesta fanboiz don hide small, but you just wan drag am to the mud.

MSN won Ucl for Inesta.

The end of MSN form helped in exposing the fact that Inesta is individually useless.

Infact, Messi took over that Midfield immediately Xavi left.

Remember Peter Drury commentary over Inesta when Roma humiliated Barcelona in 2018?

In his voice... “Inesta don’t know where do look”

swiz123:


I am sorry; my memory is a little foggy. Was it in the same 2015 that Iniesta dribbled the whole PSG team to lay a delicious through ball for Ney?

For some whose Idol is hustler Mount, you should stay off this argument

donstan18:

All round.

Havertz10:
Iniesta is like Frenkie de Jong

Watch their games, they are orchestra conductors, they play deeper and are always moving, you can't use goals to judge them


Frankie de jong vs kai havertz will be interesting to watch cause they play in the same shadow, if you don't watch closely, you wouldn't understand their value

donstan18:

How?

Debroslink:


Iniesta still won La liga after Xavi left. Iniesta won UCL without Xavi beside him.

Ibime:


Frankie De Jong plays at the base of midfield. Iniesta plays in the attacking phase. When your contribution is disgraceful, you will start to deny your position like Peter and start dragging with deep lying midfielders.

Godx:

All round what? What is all round

Havertz10:

Individually iniesta and xavi were good, ozil had his moments and enjoyed feeding the appetite of ronaldo
