Ramos, " Xabi, Messi is coming , either you help me or be ready to play with 10 men"
🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well said sir.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 epic🔥🔥🔥
As a madrid fan, "messi is coming" is indeed like a tornado warning
I mean Ronaldo was a menace too everytime he got the ball I thought "is he gonna shoot"?
@@randomhooman1952specially 2008 ronaldo 💀
@@randomhooman1952must u bring Ronaldo Into every Messi's comment, you so uncanny.
@@stephglory1aseyhorii mean atleast he aint smearing messi's name, unlike a lot of messi fans that i saw, they were always bringing up messi when ronaldo was involved in a thread and in many instances they would insult rono for no reason
@@lss2581goes both ways tbh
"Messi is coming" is synonymous with "Winter is coming". So be prepared
🇧🇷to bring some sunshine with clouds ⛅
And “Hannibal at portas” in Ancient Rome 😮
And when they hear "ronaldo is coming" they feel like the apocalypse is coming. There is no preperation .
More like synonymous with “Category 5 Hurricane Leo” is coming.
Winter is coming 🤣
ramos said "xabi! messi is coming" to warn him and prepare for whats gonna happen as if messi is some kind of natural disaster crack me up a bit.
😂😂😂😂
Hahahha good one!
😂😂😂
U know what as a madrid fan i can honestly say messi at that time especially in 2011 was like a natural disaster for me atleast , 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
His thr father😂
I want a Netflix series of defenders and midfielders telling scary stories about Messi around a campfire.
Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Ramos Pepe Silva Godin Chelleni Boetang VVD Vidic Ferdinand with special cameos 🤣
wait 10 more years , you may get your wish come true
@@knowyourplacefoolnow gvardiol too 😂
Messi is such a huge threat that he decided to leave Xavi and press Messi!
This speaks volumes.
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 .....
@@jmara3741if you leave xavi open to make any pass he wants he will destroy your defense slowly with his teammates
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.
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
His father was also a Professional coach and like the comments say he was also anointed by some of the greatest managers too.
He was maestro..The class of 2014 Madrid is absolutely Fire
Xabi
Modric
Kroos
@@bokaboka4675 Well… can’t say the same about Xavi Hernández…
@bokoaboko......that is not why he is a good coach.Other players were coached ny great managers but fidnt turn out to be good coaches .Xabi already have good coaching tactics in him .He has been preping for it before retiring from playing .
"Messi is coming" hahaha
Yeah 😂
uhm yeah? that goes for any player. its just a simple call out
Ronaldo is not coming, hes wait in box thats different natural skills
@@killekillekille1 sure but this is messi we're talking about😂
@@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.
The “Xabi, Messi is coming!” Sounds like: “Xabi, danger is coming!”😂
As a hardcore madrid supporter I can say that Leo gave us nightmares . What a player❤
My favorite player of all time is Ramos and in my opinion Messi is the greatest.
As a madrid fan i really hate messi back then.. but i never deny that he was really one of a kind player ever..
Same as a madrid fan from the time i started watching zidane.. I can truly say he is one of the most exciting players ever.
Best era of football , you had to be there
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.
@@jmara3741now it's just city, real and bayern.
True😂😂
@@Billythetoaster2004Bayern aren't dominant anymore
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.
Love how he explains it so matter of factly.
Broh really said "Messi is coming" like he is some kind of destruction ,he is tho
Ramos was so scared of Messi 😂
Bruh that’s literally what all players have to communicate with each other. We do this at lower leagues except with the shirt numbers instead cuz we don’t know the opponents name
@@anri4607uh bro really didn’t get the joke there’s like 10 different comments with 1k+ likes saying the same joke
Ramos said:
"xabi! , messi is coming!"
Is similar to martinez said :
"de gea! , maguire is coming!"
Just this video is enough to describe
The goat no stats needed 🐐
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"
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.
@@MMAFODK 🤣🤣🤣
Mr Mma, CR was terrifying for his teammates cause he'd shoot from any distance, any angle, spoiling a good move.
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
You mean Ankara Messi?
"Xabi, Messi is coming" can give chills down the spine
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😂
😊❤
messi is the greatest player of the whole history, wtf is up with at that time. He always was the best
@@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.
Messi is something else 🔥
Ramos went from battling Messi to battling with Messi. Good to see the love they have today at PSG
Messi the man the myth the legend
‘We cannot get out, the shadow moves in the dark, we cannot get out, Messi is coming’
"Messi is coming" like giving your sibling heads up to clean up whatever mess they've made because your dad is at the gate entering the yard
Messi's coming, keep your legs closed or he's passing the ball through them 😂
😂😂😂😂😂ofc
As a messi fan, it gives me chills when the world class defenders are saying that "messi is coming" 😎
And every time he got nutmegged 😂😂
Almost spilled my 💦
😂😂😂 True that😂
@@doumjawaziri5579 Woah there pal.
Either he got megged or he got a Red 😂
😂😂
Bro Ramos knew Messi was the most dangerous player on the field
,,Messi is Coming " has the same energy as ,, Winter is Coming".
Like he is some sort of natural disaster!!!
"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.
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.
"Xavi, Messi is coming". And that was the last time we heard from Ramos for the night
"Messi is coming" bro, that's hilarious to know that they really fear him😂
xabi alonzo is a 🐐 long range passer
"Messi is coming" boss music appears
Man, What a time that was for people that is a fan of Barcelona and Real Madrid
Xabi one of the greatest players I’ve seen in front of
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
The one and only GOAT 🐐 #Messi ❤
And still, they couldn't stop him.😂 No one, absolutely no one or any tactics out there could ever stop Lionel Messi. The 8 Balon Dor awards don't lie
Saturday New chapter for Xabi Alonso. Leverkusen against Schalke. Whats wonderful career and amazing outlook how coach. Good luck Xabi from Poland ;)
Did yachty bring the wok??
I took the wooooöööööck to Poland
A year later, he won the Bundesliga has the chance to win the Europa league tomorrow!
The words are legendary and goosebumps
I would love to listen to him till late night
The goat
Ok I get it now why Luka Modric runs so quickly back to his position that time.
Because Messi is coming
😂 I remember that clip and Messi chased him like Hell!
😂
There will never be footballers that will reach the level of Messi and Ronaldo true GOATS 🐐 🐐
Only one Goat. The other is a glorified bench warmer. And since Wednesday a bench desertor. 😁
There's only one goat
There will be ,and there was better. Look prime Maradona and R9,, they were nightmares
Lmao, Iniesta and Zidane have more technical ability than Ronaldo ver had. Ronaldo is not even top 100 in terms of technique.
@@A123-u7z prime Maradona is like tsunami unstoppable
🗣 Xavi, the GOAT is coming..🥶
I'm guessing they had a code phrase or word, I doubt he was yelling Messi is coming everytime, that would be hilarious
😊❤
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.
Hahaha! "Messi is coming "🤗
الصراحة واحد من أقود الفيديوهات فتاريخ الويب المغرب ، تحية ليكم و تحيو خاصة لواليديكم ❤❤❤❤
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.
@@jmara3741 nothing like ur brain
As a barca fan , the 2 Madrid players I hated the most were Ramos and Pepe
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
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.
Xabi also a good player, and now he can proof that he is also a good manager.
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.
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.
Messi was something special at prime ( a cr7 fan ) !!
With the way Xabi is leading Bayer Leverkusen, the man has learnt a whole lot while competing against one of the primest of teams on a football pitch
"Messi is coming"
"With Messi we loose always, we did not have to do anything. He is god"
So interesting. do more (this kind of video)👍
The greats know the worth of a genius 🙌
Messi is coming
They know Messi destroyed them always
I loved it🤣🤣🤣
Best era of football. Love Madrid. Love Barca you guys made my childhood great 🫡
I see a midfielder with depth about the game. This is an A class coach already; he just needs to convert this knowledge.
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
Brudda said "messi is coming" like Viggo warning his kid about John Wick lmao
Top player!
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 comming winter is comming
'Messi is coming... ' is more terrifying than ' It's hammer time '
Who's here after xabi alonso just won the league?
Dude holy sh*t Xabi is something else.
Love from Liverpool, Xabi, you Spanish Prince 👊
Messi was the target to suffer the most dangerous fouls to stop him,Barcelona and Argentina indeed know they had a Super Stari in Messi
Xavi Alonso was a wonderful player too. Top class player.
Thats just says how good Mourinho was as a manager to find a solution against those guys... That takes some sleepless night man
Double pivot
And mind games with pep
"messi is coming" Goat
"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...
Alonso is a legend.
Xabi Alonso best defensive midfielder in last 20 years
Golden era of football!!
Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho added an additional warning: "Against Messi one on one, you're dead".
Messi is here! Run!
That was a very Messi explanation.
The messi coats are coming!!
Xabi looks like he can do an Italian job heist with perfect strategy. excellent player and coach
Messi is coming is code red
That's why he won Leverkusen and made it never losen. Xavi Alonso for a reason.
Meanwhile in my head :
Those M&Ms look delicious
People dont realize that without the ball, messi is ready to run, play one-two and get players out of position. If he get the ball, he could bamboozle players. You can only contain messi. You cannot tackle or stop him. His spatial and tactical awareness is impeccable.
You have to admit that Messi is a nightmare 😂
"Xabi, Messi is coming!" ☠️🥶
Its like Kroos / KB9 / Vini jr, in the left side.
Now with real Madrid, they doing the same tactics with different players
What is kb9 ?
lol except messi and villa are so much more dangerous than benzema and vini
Messi is coming 😪🥶
Nope
@@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)
Reason for being great coach ❤
Meesi is coming😂😂😂😂
He remembers so clearly
Messi is coming goated😂
alonso amazing coach❤❤
Wow with that IQ he got about management, he can become a great coach
Thats why xabi is one of the best he is so Technical
