Giggs: "Xavi always goes two movements by in front"

In an extensive interview conceded to "MD", Ryan Giggs has spoken of way very positive of Xavi Hernández, to the one who values like one of the best players of the world in spite of not to have him known too well in person because of the scarce occasions in that they have confronted .

Against the Apoel, the one of Terrassa equalised the parties played of Champions League of the Welsh (151), and everything seems to indicate that this season will surpass him unless it suffer some type of injury that prevent him play. Giggs Compares to Xavi with a player of chess. "It is for me like a player of chess that always goes two or three movements by in front. It is one of the biggest footballers in one of the best teams of all time".

And partly it gladdens to share the record with a player of his size. "Always it is disappointing to lose a record but share it with somebody of the calibrate of Xavi, that is besides a grandísimo player, certainly softens the hit".

It has not played in too many occasions against the Barça, but yes the sufficient as to suffer the style of game of Xavi, that never loses the balloon. "What more surprised me in the parties that played against him was the way to touch and protect the balloon leaving it far of the rival. It seemed that it always took the correct decision in each moment".

Besides, another of the values that sees in the Catalan is humility. "What more likes me of him is his intelligence in in field and, although I do not know him very well, the humility with which comports . It remembered me a lot to Paul Scholes although Xavi was definitely better in the 'tackles'".

It could be Xavi Hernández future trainer of the FC Barcelona? Giggs, definitely, thinks that the captain culé will be a glorious technician when it decide to hang the boots. "Has the qualities to be a trainer by the intelligence and capacity of leadership purchased during his career".
