And mind you, saying that Essien is the more educated footballer does not mean that Xavi is not an educated footballer, I just think that Essien knows what football is a bit more because of his versatility.

I still think Essien's athletic ability is more of a reason why he can play so many positions. Xavi knows the game so well that he knows where the ball needs to go at every moment, knows where his teammates are at all times, and just has that sixth sense about him to open up play and slow it down at the whim of his hat. I'm not sure if anybody is better than him at this stuff than he is at the moment.

In my view, Essien isn't as intelligent of a player as Xavi, but can make up for it with his physical ability and drive.

It would be a hard call, but if I were to buy either Xavi or Essien, all things considered at the moment, I would take the latter as well.

You think he'll make a better coach?

It's too early to tell, it's not a case that good footballer players end up being good coaches.

You think he'll make a better coach?

he`ll make a better president.

 

[DelpieroForLife]

Always wanted him. One of the best.



100%.


Btw, Xavi is simply out of this world. It's been a while since I saw a player with his ball control, vision, passing ability, stamina, defending and attacking.

MVP of the year without any doubt. Ahead of Ronaldo and Messi. It's a shame if he doesn't win Ballon d'Or.

If I was making the shoots Xavi would win Ballon d'Or this year without a question.

NO FU-CK-ING WAY.

Yup fucking way. In this order
1. DDR
2. Essien
3. Xavi

If I was making a dream team, all 3 of them would be there in a 4-3-3 formation.

 

[Bjerknes]

As for the Confederations Cup

FORZA YOO ESS EY!!

:scarf:

Can't wait.

De Rossi > Essien / Xavi

No way, Jose.

Seven, for one.

Xavi does nothing special. I can think of 10 players who could do the same.

Now Messi.. that's a different thing. He's out of this world.

Sorry, Miss Cleo, you picked the wrong card.

Leave the "Azzurri fan boy" jokes to the expert.

Btw, it's quite stupid to have Amelia there instead of Buffon and Barzagli in front of Cannavaro.

 

[Bjerknes]

It's just nonsense. Total nonsense.

Name the players. All 10.

Barzagli is next to Cannavaro not in front of him

Nothing personal man... just kidding.

I was about to quit reading the rest of your post here... I made my mind here.

 

[DelpieroForLife]

FORZA CHIELLINI since you have mentioned it.

Most of what Xavi does is pass the ball wide. Iniesta is so, so much better. It's ridiculous to even compare the two. You see a team with Henry, Eto'o, Iniesta, Puyol and MESSI and the player you pick out is Xavi. Utterly ridiculous.

Passing the ball wide is not the only way Xavi passes. Have you seen the agility the player has, the way he turns and immediately executes a complete pass IS out of this world.

 

[JCK]

So no one was able to explain Eto'o's celebration?
