Xavi Hernandez joined 'LaLiga Golazos' and spoke about four of the 40 players who will be in the 'Kings of the World'. One of them was former Madrid player James Rodriguez, who he lamented the fact that he didn't join Barcelona.
Current Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez has joined the 'LaLiga Golazos' section, the competition's new digital collectables platform. Here, he will be able to form his 'Momentos' group of players in the 'Kings of the World'.
Players who are part of this initiative include Xavi Hernandez himself, Luka Modric, Ronaldinho, David Villa, Iker Casillas, Robert Pires, Rakitic, Guillermo Ochoa, Thierry Henry and Ronaldo Nazário. In an interview, he spoke about four of his favourite players.
These were Claudio Bravo, Rafa Marquez, James Rodriguez and Diego Forlan. This is what he said about the Chilean goalkeeper: "Personally, he gave me a lot of confidence. He was a very solid goalkeeper, with fantastic feet". He then went on to confess about the former Madrid midfielder.
"He has always shown quality and talent to make a difference on the pitch. He has a great ability to score some tremendous goals from close range or long range thanks to his privileged left foot. It makes me sad that he played for Madrid and not Baraa," he said of the Colombian.
Finally, he spoke about the former Uruguayan striker who played for Atletico Madrid: "I have always wanted to sign him for Barça as he is a player who, as well as having a winning mentality, has dominated in all registers: right, left, head, speed and talent.... A world class player".
