Xavi

Seeing a Rolex is recognizing quality and beauty. Something so perfect in its detail and function that it stands alone as the pinnacle of its category. But behind every great watch is the unheralded, but brilliant watchmaker, who’s incredible skill underneath the face of the crystal goes unnoticed, but is the sole reason it functions at all.

Xavi is that watchmaker.

Barcelona is such a well-oiled machine that the connotation that comes with the mechanics of such a work do not attend neatly to it. But much like the inner workings of a Rolex are what make the beauty it presents to the world reasonable, Xavi is the supplier of the motion that makes the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Cesc Fabregas and Messi tick.

He is not unnoticed at this point in his career for his brilliance, but never the one you would build a team around. Rather he is that piece that makes a team move from good to great and has ultimately provided the backbone of the best midfield the game has ever seen.

His passes immaculate, his vision unmatched. He seems to posses an innate ability to read defenders and send them the opposite way of the ball without ever even approaching them. So much of Barcelona’s offensive dominance can be attributed to the ease with which he passes the ball, subtle in form, but stupendous in result.

A minimalist it sport if there ever was one, his philosophy seems to center around the notion of the easier the better. Fancy touches, slaloming dribbles and shots in the upper 90 are only seen when he deems necessary. Other than that he much rather prefers a touch to gather his composure and a perfectly through weighted ball to set up his teammate.

The excitement Xavi brings to the game will never reflect on the stat sheet and rarely show up in the score line (though he is having a career year in terms of scoring with 14 goals in all competitions). But it is in that subtly that leaves your mouth agape and keeps us all watching for what he will do next.
