Even Jorginho can do that

What sets Xavi out is doing the simple pass as well as keeping an eye upfront for movement for a through pass

Don't compare Xavi to Alcantara pls

Danielnino00:
With Chukwueze and Musa on the wings plus Iwobi and Mikel in midfield there's no doubt that we will create enough goal scoring chances today.... Let's hope Ighalo converts them..

And on a a more serious note, I hope Rohr will give the attackers the freedom to shoot at goal...not every ball should be passed to the striker..
Against Seychelles in Asaba I saw how they were all trying to get the ball to Ighalo just to help his quest for top scorer award.......

Please expatiate further on this. I've seen many guys use it here. Thanks

Thiago can do that but not at the level of peak Xavi. I think that's what TheGoodJoe is talking about.

SerVik:
If this argument is about who the better footballer is, it is clearly dinho. His talent level was off the charts.

If however, it is about who understands the game more, then it is xavi all day everyday. xavi's understanding of the game is second to none. His utilization of the concept of time and space was a delight to watch.

Let me put it this way. If xavi and ronaldinho where to go into coaching, who do you think would make the better coach?
Xavi is guardiola level brilliant

He doesn't do it frequently as De bruyne or Ozil to warrant a comparison

edi287:
Agree but I don't think he'll be a great coach. Being a great coach isn't solely about understanding the game but being able to impart that knowledge on players.
I also haven't forgiven him for saying Henry was just a physical player and lacked technical ability. Let's not forget he has bigged up a number of flops i.e Samper, etc.

Good news: Kalu has received all clear to participate by CAF medics.
Bad news is, many SE players are still down. Musa, Ighalo, Balogun, Shehu, & others not mentioned yet. Like Aina. Waiting to confirm his fitness tho. Periwinkle don tie wrapper my pipu.

TheGoodJoe:
Why I feel Xavi will be exceptional is simply his in depth understanding of the philosophy. You can not impact what you do jot understand. Keep in mind as a midfielder, he led Barca a number of times in orchestrating the play.

You will not find a better person who understands the philosophy in depth as Xavi. Which makes him clearly the best person to pass it on.

As long as Xavi can teach a team to keep the ball for a long time just as he did and his understanding of formidable attackers to use the chances, the possibilities are huge.

If this is anything to go by; our XI vs Burundi
Looking forward to seeing what Chukwueze will do today.

in misses penalghalo, even with avalanche of chances, I don't expect much from him. with the much creativity our wings and midfield promise, I would have someone who knows how to hit target lead the line, someone who can run through the channels, unfortunately, these two qualities elude ighalo, hence my picks are osimhen and onuachu

jihday:
over half of the team fell ill once they landed in Egypt

I would've started Onyekuru. He need someone to make runs in behind. I guess that will Etebo.

Baba no won unleash all his weapons of mass destruction at once.

forgiveness:
Osimhen and Onuachu are yet to achieve what Ighalo has achieved in professional football at the highest level.

no one is disputing that fact, but sorry ,presently, ighalo has nothing on those two.

This is why it is nice to av a good bench. Imagine this strange sickness hitting the 2014 WC squad before the tournament
