@MohammadAliBK@TotalLeoFCB@PreciyIsi Surely thats what you take away from the absolutism you claimed from a players statement about his own ability.
Laughable again.
@TotalLeoFCB@MohammadAliBK@PreciyIsi Fabian Ruiz is a better footballer than I will ever be; and he said he deserves the ballondor. Should I just not give my opinion on it because he is an expert?
@MohammadAliBK@PreciyIsi 😭😭😭 okay broski, truly hilarious you’re using this to argue about Raphinhas peak vs Xavi’s. Laughable. Anyways just so that you feel better about your take, fine Xavi the world’s best midfielder of his time is surely has not seen a higher peak than Raphinha has. Truly.
@MohammadAliBK@PreciyIsi And I could say your opinion doesn’t hold 10 times as worthwhile as the others? Sobbing here, not sure what you’re even trying to get at here with layman logic
@MohammadAliBK@PreciyIsi And doing it for Rapha alone should show you the limitations of that peak vs the peak of Xavi’s. Going in circular fashion here. Lol. Like I said blatantly wrong comparison to have made.
@MohammadAliBK@PreciyIsi I do consider him better than Cristiano, i consider a lot of players better than Cristiano, regardless of the longevity of his peak
@MohammadAliBK@PreciyIsi And to add to it, unrelated ofc, your work on Xavi was so good that I had literally commented on it way back then🙏, but you can’t just run a gimmick bait like this bro, comparison of blatantly wrong levels
@MohammadAliBK@PreciyIsi Yeah and his actions were still there to keep Barca in the game, your ratings of 7.5s and 8s and whatever are based on what? I can just give my ratings then and tell you his 7.5 is a 10 for an average player. Like I said non contextual analysis.
@MohammadAliBK@PreciyIsi As I said, the comparison you’re putting up is only downplaying Rapha not Xavi here, that is I repeat, an awful comparison to make in the first place. You have used stats to justify something without any contextualizing done, and then played the “defining players differently” tag
@MohammadAliBK@PreciyIsi CL R16, Lyon, was instrumental to the blitz Barca put up.
R8- Bayern, dominated them both games
Semis- Xavi put up yet another clinic vs. a truly vile Chelsea side, in one match where they even played a man down.
Finals- no words needed.
Available data already will show you
@MohammadAliBK@PreciyIsi “The way you define players isnt the way I do it”, peak of the greatest midfield performances of all time came with an entire package of it all. Not that it means Raphinha is not elite at what he does, it means Xavi’s ability far outweighed Raphas in every way possible for comp
@MohammadAliBK@PreciyIsi When those lanes he could exploit was cut down, he largely becomes a passenger but his mental profile allows him to claw his way back into games and I love him for that, but that doesn’t not mean he’s a superior player in any way possible.
@MohammadAliBK@PreciyIsi And how does that work when the player who scores the goals isn’t getting the same amount of chances or situations moulded out for him? Raph’s affectivity to the ball was greatly reduced under Flick to maximize his output and off the ball effectiveness-
@MohammadAliBK@PreciyIsi As for this, I know exactly what I saw from Xavi, whether it be matches being played live or from clips, no amount of xG over performance can just outweigh the fact that you have made a blatantly wrong comparison to begin with.
