Xavi Hernández spoke for a Brazilian media about the best players in history and did not hesitate to place Messi as number one. The Catalan also said that Ronaldinho is also in the group of the greatest
Xavi Hernández took advantage of this period of quarantine without football to attend to the Brazilian chain 'Esporte Espetacular'. The Catalan never shuns any debate futbolístico and in this program of television asked him on his ex mate and fellow Ronaldinho Gaúcho. This half, taking advantage of his 40 birthdays and the delicate situation that lives right now in a Paraguayan prison, is making a series on the career of the ex footballer of the FC Barcelona.
The one of Terrassa shared changing room and lawn with him several seasons and lived in first person how spent them to him. For the ex Catalan midfield player, Ronaldinho is definitely between the biggest of the history and alone Leo Messi surpasses him by the regularity that did not have the Brazilian. "It is to the level of the best, perhaps what has been missing him is the proof to be in the highest. For me, only Messi is above Ronaldinho by this proof in the last years", explained.
The one of Rosario carries a lot of years in the highest marking infinity of goals, giving a lot of assistances and winning titles almost no rest. What he has done has not done it anybody in the world of the football and probably to level of numbers, individual titles and communities, only Cristiano Ronaldo can him equate. For Xavi, the Portuguese would be just to the level of Ronaldinho and underneath of the of the Argentinian.
The current trainer of the To the Sadd spoke of the captain barcelonista like the best of all time and after him appointed to three 'Ronaldos'. "Messi is the best of the history, but Ronaldinho is with the best, in a group with Ronaldo the Phenomenon, Cristiano Ronaldo... But for me Messi is above all", affirmed, forgetting of Diego Armando Maradona, Peeled or Johan Cruyff, that are used to to be always in this type of debates.
Xavi was the favourite of the changing room for the bench
It is the enésima time that Xavi shows his total admiration by his ex mate in the Barça. The one of Terrassa is a lover of the good football and, therefore, of Messi. Perhaps therefore, the rosarino supported the candidature of the ex midfield player to train to the Barcelona this year. The ex '6' was the big favourite of the directive and also of the changing room to relieve to Ernesto Valverde, but he same finish refusing the place because his aim is to arrive to the bench culé beginning an own project.
Xavi admitted all this recently in an interesting interview. "I have clear that I want to go back to the Barça, does me a lot of illusion. The same years backwards could give me some respect, but now that already I have seen me training think that can contribute things to the players. But I left them clear that I saw me in a project that began of zero, and in which the taking of decisions was mine", recognised for 'The Avant-garde' does only a week.
