‘The most important, the most beautiful and the most precious thing in football is to have the ball and to attack and dominate the game with the ball’.

Xavi’s Playing Style Summary

๏My team has to control the ball. I suffer when I don’t have it. That’s why I do everything I can to control the game through the ball, through possession.

๏Total control of the ball - it matters a lot to me. I’m obsessed with possession, and not just to have the ball for the sake of having it but to attack and to create chances and hurt the opposition.

๏In possession phase, when we have the ball, the most important thing is to widen the pitch, open it up as wide as possible and as deep as possible.
