@cric_blog Easy peasy - it's Sachin. Both are dwarf geniuses - labelled as the most skilled professionals their respective sport ever seen. Only WC win kept them away from getting the tag of absolute GoAT and it took Sachin 6 WC appearances and Messi in 5. Both are introverts as well๐
@Gunner9248 Exaggerated. 2008 Euros lo only Iniesta & Puyol mathrame ga Barca players yet Xavi won player of the tournament. I just want to conclude that Xavi's legacy is in GOATed tier of Midfielders.
@Gunner9248 Scholes functional avvadaniki England lo Keane lanti destroyer ledu, so he was even deployed on the left wing to accommodate Stevie & Lamps in the midfield. Xavi ki ee avasaram raledhu because he dictated the structure.
@Gunner9248 See English players ki ego undha ledha anedhi debate for another day. Em Jose Real ki ochaka Barca-Real rivalry ni war la marchaledha? Yet Spain managed egoes. Scholes was even deployed as a wide midfielder for Eng, why? What happened to his ability in controlling the midfield?
@Gunner9248 Scholes didnt replicate his Utd performances for England. I repeat both Spain & Barca BUILT the same system around Xavi.
No, I never said one is better than the other and that's a rubbish conclusion. I just said they both belong to the same tier.
@Gunner9248 No difference undhi, nenu Xavi ne system (brain) antunna. Ask yourself why dominant Spain for 3 successive tournaments collapsed once Xavi was past his prime? Xavi was the engine and other players were parts in a machine. Once Xavi retired, even Barca moved away from tikitaka.
@Gunner9248 I barely care about accolades. Nenu cheppedhi Xavi chuttu dominant Barca & Spain systems ne build chesinru - as Iker said he was the reference point on the pitch. Zizou aesthetically pleasing or magic moments ni produce cheyochu but Xavi had control of the entire game flow.
