Xavi was not better than Yaya Toure IMO and he definitely not on Ronaldinho's level. Roni was must watch TV he gave us the best of both worlds, trophies and entertainment
Xavi is in the conversation for the greatest midfielder of all time. Yaya toure? Lol

See, I love ronaldinho as much as I love Messi but u can’t just overlook Xavi quality. D last time Barcelona won the ucl was Xavi final season. Xavi is d only player to have make 4 assist in a single el Classico game. Wat dinho will do in 10secs before taking a player out, Xavi will do it in 3secs with a single turn to take 3 or more out.

Go and watch Xavi euro 2008 performance.
I do not think anyone is overlooking Xavi's quality. The question is who is more technical. Ronaldinho. If you ask who I think is more important to the team, I will say Xavi. If you ask who is more tactical, I will say Xavi.

Finito.

If Xavi can pick a through pass through 7 players(technique)

Can combine with two to three players(technique)

And has great vision (technique)

How can you say Ronaldinho was a better technical player than him?
Xavi is better with the vision. That's all. They're both excellent players to grace the game but on the ball? Oh my! Dinho is a God.

Mybettingtips:
England U21 2 - 4 Romania U21 grin grin grin grin grin grin grin



English boys dey chop am left and right. Imagine Romania flogging Dem 4-2. T. Abraham started from the bench again, subbed in d 77mins and restored parity in the 87mins. But could not rescue dem from another defeat. The England coach is stubborn, why bench ur most lethal striker in two matches now.
English football is still better than Nigeria's football. We don't need to mock them.

I don't even want to delve into Xavi/Ronaldinho argument, it's going to be so disrespectful to Dinho. Xavi was class but Dinho was out of this world.. You guys too dey forget things oo. Na RONALDINHO oooo.

None of those player is close to them ,I will even agree with Silva

How can you mention Rodri just after one good season ? I tought you know better than this ,dem dey call player wey come close you dey call Rodri ?

Bucks say pep wan buy am you don run call him name

I think you know better than this
Rodri pulled some brilliant stats and games. Deserve mention when we talk of current brilliant tactical players to emerge after Xavi.

They all know here that I am a Barca fan ,I am glad this is not a Messi arguement so they won't say I am bias

Good joe said he has been watching Xavi since 1998 as if Xavi was brilliant 1998 ,I just dey Laff

The other one dey talk about World Cup 2002 ,Ronaldinho was good at that World Cup but he wasn't Brazil best player during the tournament but he was crucial sha

But he has forgotten Xavi was very instrumental during 2010 World Cup 2008 euros and 2012 euros win

Dem don turn am to Cr7 and Messi while we are talking about technicality here

Person self don mention yaya toure ,I tire

Yes

Coming from a Barca fan

You guys should stop mistaking World best player for technical

Yes Ronaldinho is a greater player than Xavi

But we are not talking of who is better we are talking of technical here
Ronaldinho is more technical than Xavi. Xavi can't even make top 20 most technical player of all time.

Zidane and Xavi who was a more complete footballer when it comes to technique because you just see Ronaldinho as a dribbler
Zidane was an AM, Xavi was a CM or DLP

What's your definition of complete footballer?

Yes. But, it is easier to find more tactical players than Technical players. That is what modern football coaching is more about. Teaching players to play more like Xavi than Ronaldinho. It is easier to coach players to play tactically than technically.

Today is Match Day ffs! Michael2 called for Voting to decide this Argument, Safarigirl has posted the final Result, so why still hanging on to it?!

Can we take a Break from the Argument, and discuss Eagles? I expect us to be discussing Tactics, possible Lineups, Predictions and so on.

Em don do jhoor!
