Xavi: "Messi would surrender even more in the Premier League"

In an interview conceded to the "BBC", Xavi Hernández was asked after one of his mates in the FC Barcelona, Leo Messi, to the one who has a lot appreciate and considers the best of the world. Contrary to what has said in occasions -that Messi would surrender worse in the Premier League-, Xavi thinks that the fact that the majority of teams defend in one against one in the English competition would favour a lot to Messi, taking into account that in the Spanish League what do the teams that play against the Barça the majority of the times is to shut in his area.

"I think that it could be still better in the Premier League because it is not so defensive. When they defend against us, the English clubs defend in the one against one, with passion and energy. But Leo would find more spaces that in the League BBVA", signalled Xavi. On the fact to have in a same team of Messi, Neymar and Luis Suárez in attack, thinks that is a factor that the Barça has to take advantage of. "It is a luxury have them in the same team. Of this have to take out party".

The "Daily Star" based in the book "Messi", of Guillem Balagué, to take out to the light a situation that lived in the season 2002-03 when Leo Messi, Cesc Fábregas and Gerard Hammered formed part of the Cadet To of the FC Barcelona and an observer of the Arsenal, Francis Cagigao, fixed in the talent of the three young players of the Barcelona team and proposed them both offers to carry them to London. "Everything began with a party in Lloret of Sea against the Parma. This day Hammered did not play, but the rest of the team, that won the party, yes did it".
