🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Xavi speaks out on Frenkie de Jong in the most DETAILED WAY possible, explaining he is one of the most UNDERRATED players in the world! ✨🇳🇱
"Yes, he is one of the most UNDERRATED players. But NOT for us coaches, NOT for his teammates. But for YOU."
"If you ask his teammates, they will say he is the best midfielder."
"LISTEN to the people who are with Frenkie de Jong every day."
"YOU guys are not with Frenkie de Jong day by day, you guys are not training with him. You just see him in matches, and MANY PEOPLE don't understand tactical things during a game, they DON'T SEE that a player is FIXING many tactical issues during a game, they DON'T SEE that a player is creating SUPERIORITY in defense and in attack."
"Frenkie de Jong is a COMPLETE PLAYER!"
Wait so the entire Barcelona veterans came to Raphinha and asked him to keep the ball safe instead of taking the free kick.
Wait for Yamal’s reaction when Raphinha disobeyed them.

In 2008, a 31-year-old undefeated Floyd Mayweather took a $20 million cheque to step into a no-disqualification match with a 7-foot, 450-pound giant.
That was the deal at WrestleMania XXIV. After Mayweather broke Big Show’s nose at No Way Out to ignite the angle, WWE sold the size mismatch hard. Big Show publicly asked whether the money was worth risking his career.
Mayweather, already the face of boxing after the De La Hoya payday and the “Money” rebrand, treated it as pure business: quick results, quick big money, and a chance to say he ran the WWE too.
The risk was real in theory — one mis-timed bump or an overzealous shot from a man three times his size could have ended the night differently. In practice it was scripted sports entertainment.
Mayweather trained with Triple H, used a chair and brass knuckles, and knocked Big Show out in front of 74,000 people. He left with the win, the headline, and a payday larger than almost every boxing purse of his career to that point.
Worth it? For Mayweather, the answer was never in doubt. The only question was how many times he’d get to say “I told you so.”
