Thiago Alcantara, Xavi kind of player.

peterd53:
Na wa oo. Xavi kind of player and command a starting role in the Spanish national team. All this players u are mentioning are not as good as fabregas or santi at their peak talkless of Xavi. Euro 2008 best player

andrew444:
Rodri is an average player ,he need to he constitent for years before he deserves a mention

You know even see koke self

andrew444:
Bro Ronaldinho was one of the greatest player ever ,who know know that one ? I am not saying Xavi is better than Ronaldinho I am talking of tactical issue here and nothing else

What did Ronaldinho won or achieve at psg seems you said Xavi will not achieve nothing playing for those average clubs

Ronaldinho achievement was at Barcelona and not the average psg you are talking about

And please don't go to achievement as your next excuse o,because Ronaldinho didn't even have quarter of Xavi trophies ,you are so good at twisting arguement

Earthquake3:
Malcolm, Dembele, Douglas Costa all have bits of Ronaldinho in them in varying degrees

TheGoodJoe:
Xavi Hernandez on Rodri:
“He’s a superb player, and he would be even better in a style like Barcelona’s,” he said.

“He has both things, he is so good that he can play for Atletico, taking the ball, pressing and closing down spaces.

“He has the Barcelona profile, I see him as top class, like Busi [Sergio Busquets]. He lifts his heads up. Uff, he’s great. I think Barcelona should have signed him.”

andrew444:
Anything wey Xavi like make him talk ,you expect am to talk down on his own Spanish player abi ?

Go interview lampard e no go speak bad of loftus cheek or Barkley ,but that doesn't make them world class

Yes Rodri have the potential and can be world class soon but he his average for now

As a defensive midfielder I rate my Ndidi ahead of Rodri

Earthquake3:
Xavi was the game

forgiveness:
Ronaldinho is more technical than Xavi. Xavi can't even make top 20 most technical player of all time.

Earthquake3:
Malcolm, Dembele, Douglas Costa are Ronaldinho type

Thiago Alcantara does not have enough vision or pass ability to compare to Xavi

Earthquake3:
Vision - Xavi
Pass - Xavi
Combination - Xavi
Teamwork - Xavi

Goals- Zidane
Flair - Zidane

R2bees:
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.

forgiveness:
Ronaldinho won UEFA intertoto cup with PSG, won FIFA world cup as a PSG player, made FIFA world cup best team as a PSG player and singlehandedly led PSG to Coupé Dr France finals.

Ronaldinho's achievement started way before he joined Barcelona.

Where did I mention greatest player?

I said Ronaldinho is more technical than Xavi. Period.

TheGoodJoe:
I rate Rodri higher because of his passing ability which is key to possession based attacking football. Rodri is no way average. Expect a monster at City.

SerVik:
You-re clearly taking a piss

iSlayer:
The argument is now getting clownish from some people. I will summarily withdraw from such a stupid argument.


A Ronaldinho type of player will be hard to come across again. THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS THIS. Nuff said.

cc12:
Ronaldinho is many steps above the class of Neymar

Mybettingtips:
England U21 2 - 4 Romania U21



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.

Can Ronaldinho dictate a game?

Is Ronaldinho's pass technique half as good as Xavi?

Does Ronaldinho have Xavi's vision

How good is Ronaldinho's combination with teammates?

Ronaldinho is good for those who watch football for the entertainment, but for those who watch football for the science, I prefer Xavi

andrew444:
Lol ,yaya toure wey dey bang goals

You simple don't know what to say ,now I see

gamaliel9:
the type of argument you people raise here....are you that jobless?

how can you compare Xavi and Ronaldinho....Ronaldinho that is better than Messi....

You should be compare Xavi with Iniesta,Totti,Okocha,Paschal Feindunou,etc

CR7 vs Messi
Ronaldinho vs Zidane
Pele vs Maradona

IN THAT ORDER...any other comparison is a fruitless,unnecessary,academic inuendo garnished with wasted energy and flamboyant display of ignorance

Meanwhile i have a feeling that Falcons will play as they did against France but with an improved attack...possession will be 75% to 25% against them

TheGoodJoe:
Dembele, Malcolm, nahhh.

Douglas Costa, yeah. He even is from Gremio with Ronaldinho. Both played for Gremio FC.

TheGoodJoe:
Watch the little genius Thiago Alcantara at work.
