No wonder Xabi's managerial career so far is good. He has such a fine understanding of the game. Not many players turned managers have this level of understanding.
He was coached by mourinho, guardiola, ancelloti, benitez and del bosque. He was both defense player and offense playmaker. It would be incredibly surprising if he wasnt a good coach

@@killekillekille1 for other players they say "man on" Or "man coming" this is honestly the first time I heard that players call a man on by using a specific players name. It takes too long to specify who it is in a real time game scenario.
Does not speak volumes at all. It's sound football. You do not leave an OPEN space for a genius dribbler to receive ALONE. You cover position for position because Xavi was a PLAYMAKER who needed OPEN spaces to assist a dribbler like Messi. Have you ever actually tried to even analyze a football match??
@@jmara3741lol....messi is not only great dribbler but also goat finishers....and ofcourse great assist provider also........and when it come to xavi hanandez he is also a great playmaker and make huge impact on scoring goal......press messi leave xavi that makes volume .....
But that's when everything get messed up for Madrid, you Chase Messi, you leave Xavi, Iniesta a space, you chase Xavi, you leave Iniesta and Messi a space, you chase Iniesta, you leave Messi and Xavi a space, it's suicide game for real Madrid.
You mean mark messi but if he marked messi xavi is able to dictate and give defence splitting passes to villa, pedro and iniesta which has happened afew times.this system can only work with xavi-iniesta-messi. No one else can reproduce these system. They can literally outpass the whole the team to score.
I was there, watch every game. Not the best era AT ALL. Incredibly boring watching 2 teams dominate football and sometimes Bayern Munich, Chelsea. Actually the worst era in football.
Every era had their dominant teams. But as far as overall excitement I think it definitely was the best era. Classico’s were full of drama. The players looked like they wanted war. It could also be because I’m an 80’s baby I’ve enjoyed it more because I was the perfect age to consume all football with no stress or responsibilities of life. But now it doesn’t taste the same.
Prime Messi between 2009-13 was biggest nightmare for us Madrid fans You go see the match barca holding the ball for 90 fucking minutes Messi being scary guy with long hair... Bloody hell
I did not think I'll end up laughing at this short video they way i did. "Xabi, Messi is coming"! Omg and both Ramos & Xabi are world class. Messi is truly terrifying 😅
Did u check the terror CR7 caused defenders?. There are not honest so they'll not say like Xabi is being honest right now saying all this about Messi. Cristiano has always been a nightmare for defenders ask them in Europe.
If you did not press Xavi it gives Xavi the space and time to dictate the midfield. So in general, the false 9 position of Messi was really a legendary move by Pep to utilize the greatest player on the planet at that time to open up spaces and to force Real Madrid into the back foot.
exactly, barca at that time wasnt a normal team that needed every single part of the field to dictate the game, give them a little pocket of space in the midfield and within 3 passes they are 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper😂
@@VladRadu-tq1pgyep, 2009-2015 messi was simply magical. But the version of him that impressed me the most was 2016-2021. He carried that barca offence and sometimes even the midfield. I remember him playing as a forward and as midfielder vs Liverpool at Anfield in 2019. He was truly carrying that barca team in 2019.
No wonder he’s such a good coach & understands the game so well now. My man’s was out here getting double, tripled team in a roulette to players like Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, etc 2-4 times a season. He suffered 1st hand to gain the knowledge he has now plus being coached by Pep, Mou, Ancelotti etc. He’s so well rounded now from arguably the best defensive coach oat to best possession manager oat plus a mastermind like Ancelotti who always figures out a way to win. This man is set to becoming one of the greatest coaches in the world.
"Xabi, messi is coming" is a testament from ramos that no one can handle him alone. Exactly what mourinho said, if you let messi get the ball and you only 1-on-1 with him, you are dead/finished.
For some of us that have been privileged to watch Messi wonder, it has been a real spectacle and experience of a lifetime. Because there would never be another Messi in a very long time to come.
Xabi Alonso has such an enviable professional player C.V. in terms of titles won. League titles, Champions League, European Cup, World Cup. Assorted domestic cups.
You have to appreciate when the game is explained to you in such a way. Players who understand tactics (themselves coaches now like Xabi) and understand spaces and have both intelligence and talent (Messi being the best at that) would make anyone appreciate the game even more.
His analysis of the game is outstanding. Footballers are some of the most intelligent people on earth. Split second decisions are made for over 90 minutes. It’s insane
Try to choke him, he dribbles past you; try to block angles, he executes a precise pass that most players cant even think of; leave him alone, he just runs in and scores the goal. The greatest player of all time
I used watch a lot of Prime Barca and especially El Clasico. It was insane how much Messi and Barca dominated in those matches. Messi at his prime on the ball would just make his opponents insecure. Will he dribble? Will he pass? Will he turn? Will he go left? Right? Will he feint? Will he just take a long distance shot? Will he outpace someone on the ball? He could do it all and that made him so dangerous. You just couldn't predict what he's do.
Xabi Alonso, what a terrific player. One of my all time favorites, being a culé. Him, Casillas, Raul, Ozil, and now Modric. Phenomenal players, can't hate them. Just a gentle reminder of how good Messi is though when greats like him and Ramos talk of Messi this way.
What do you mean talking about Messi??? He is simply analyzing jow he played against Xavi and Messi because of his position. He said absolutely nothing about Messi's or Xavi's talent or anything like that.
pretty much a lot of great managers play in the midfield during their playing days. conte, xavi, pep, don carlo, etc play as a midfielder during their playing days
Saw a lot of videos like this where top managers talk about how it's impossible to defend against Lionel Messi. Like ancelotti , mourinho, pep and xabi 🔥
"Messi is coming!" sounds like a clarion call, warning, and threat at the same time... I wouldn't want to be in such a situation; watching the GOAT coming at you, with the ball! hehehe...
@@harnygoodle3987 Maybe, but Vini is too much of a headache just as Messi. He is the next Neymar but a more useful one(in the sense he doesn't waste time by using unnecessary skills)

Messi from 2009 -2013 is the scariest player i have ever seen. Everytime he touched the ball, it felt like he was going to score
2009 -2013 Messi not in the world class ..he just in the Messi class
@@santai_laI wonder Messi is not form this earth
"At the absolute peak of his powers"
91 goals in a calendar year. That number is straight out of a playstation game. Messi wasn't human.
