Lmao so a 5% increase from 2014 till 2023 shows that xavi was not the system but part of the system.
So that kills your original point.

Now let's talk midfielder to midfielder.
Who is better?
I have my stats to back up Kroos.
From chances creation to passing completion to final 3rd passes to defensive contributions. He is a controller who plays in the deepest part of the midfield.

What do you have for me for xavi

Itsrm:


That screenshot is from Kuda na. And note the use of "may not".

Emaprince also just confirmed Opay is having the same issue

DissTroy:

Corn logic: Let's ignore the obvious tainting lie spewed by a support group of our party to focus on telling the opposition not to complain Peter Obi wasn't the only one mentioned in the lie.

liveLongNprospa:

So wetin you go call Kroos then?

What is something xavi does better than kroos?
They are practically the same when it comes to ball retention and 1st touches.
Kroos maintains a higher percentage of passes completed and also has more chances created than xavi in UCL.
Infact Kroos dey create more chances than Messi for UCL.
Nobody has beaten him.

Kroos is a high volume passer even when madrid isn't a possession based team.
Kroos is also more defensive than xavi.
So again explain.
Kroos has been more consistent than xavi.
Infact before 2006, how many times did you really hear of xavi?
In the world cup they both won, both of them delivered for their national teams.

Oya enjoy this small clip first, you fit post Kroos own too ooh.

Kroos whose German team get flogged every tournament?

Before Xavi, every team has a midfield playmaker, and dominance was determined by how many times your playmaker could dominate the opposition team in midfield

Milan had Zvonimir Boban, Fiorentina had Rui Costa, Lazio had Veron, Juve had Zidane. You had Seedorf, Michael Laudrup, Prosinecki, Riquelme, Redondo, Guardiola, Valderamma, Thomas Hassler, Andreas Moller, Stefan Effenberg, Ronaldo De Boer, Juan Carlos Valderon etc

Every match you watch they were trading blows for midfield dominance. Rui Costa won the midfield against Zidane today, Hassler won the midfield against Redondo yesterday. Last week Valderon murdered Riquelme, today Seedorf edged out Veron, and few months ago Laudrup dominated Guardiola. The fun of football then was in seeing who will carry the day in midfield today

They were all playing musical chairs until Xavi came along and ended all bullshit. Xavi did not play games or compete with any of his peers. He dominated each and every one without exception and without fail. He made it boring.

That's why he is the greatest CM of all time.

TrebleChamp:
Kroos passes are similar to Scholes passes, Kroos is a very exceptional midfielder but Xavi remains the Controller-General of Midfield. No play in his generation comes close in that department....

Ibime:


Kroos is a lazy player who could have been greater. He carries a bit too much weight and is a bit too heavy to make space for every pass like Xavi

liveLongNprospa:

Kroos is a lazy player?
Kroos?
The same player who is practically playing as a dm/playmaker this season.
Ibime e clear say you never watch Kroos in a long time.

Na Liverpool fans suppose talk about am😂

liveLongNprospa:

Bros where was xavi before 2006?
Did Toni Kroos deliver in 2014 for Germany at the world cup or not?
Mention 3 better players than Kroos in that German team?
As if xavi dominated through out his career.
Barcelona system of tiki taka died when iniesta left and not xavi because we saw what iniesta did in 2015 when xavi was mostly useless.

There's no passing stats you want to bring for xavi that I can't bring something of equivalence for Toni Kroos. Again don't forget Kroos has mostly played as the deepest lying midfielder and also dm.
Xavi has always had busquets to protect his ass.

Remind me when Casemiro left Madrid and what Kroos has been doing for the last 2 years.

If you are talking about dominance, Kroos led midfield has won 5ucl's while delivering it b2b2b.
What is a xavi

Aturitoroman:
Kroos a lazy player? Lmao, the kind funny things we do read here

BlueRayDick:
The Wigwe's 💔

Ibime:


Go and rest. Barca stopped dominating in 2013/14 when Xavi started having Achilles problem. 2015 win was built on pragmatism and swift counters rather than tikitaka. Kroos is nowhere near Xavi in this life or next

izzou:


So only that girl remain?

Kai!

BlueRayDick:


I read he has 4 kids; so I'm guessing he has 3 surviving children whose lives will never remain the same again .

Life will just humble u! Just last week his university made the news about their fees that are to be paid in dollars . All of that and more he has left behind. Chai!

liveLongNprospa:


You must be pulling things out of your arse to think Barcelona's Triumph after xavi wasn't also hinged on iniesta performing in midfield. Iniesta showed how he was more important than xavi.
Kroos on the other hand has consistently demonstrated his level of importance.
He is 34 and we are begging him to renew.

Again
Kroos led midfield has delivered 5UCL [m while winning b2b2b. Brother that is dominance

raumdeuter:

I wanted to post something similar yesterday. I remember when Ulli Hoeness criticized Ozil as lazy and most concluded that he was racist and islamophobic recently Ulli has been attacking Kroos a white German with similar lines he used for Ozil. And he hasn't been called racist or any phobia because Kroos is white like him

raumdeuter:

I think that German midfield of Gundog and Kroos is too soft and France will punch through that middle with Kante's energy

I would have dropped Kroos or Gundogan to accommodate a more energetic midfield like Neuhaus or even Emre Can since Goretzka is injured

BlaqFaze:
Na because of Kroos Madrid foolishly spent 100m on TooMuchMoney because perez was desperate to replace kroos. Kroos was terribly bad throughout the ucl knockouts last season.

The home game against Man city was his worse...dude dey play like who get belle, very tired, lazy performance before he was replaced by Rodrygo

The season of Rafael benitez, please tell the house what trophy we won?
Because that was the same season Zidane took over😁.
Common don't be shy.
Tell us

Yes.. Because person like Ibime nor fit appreciate iniesta or modric😂

Godx:

Kroos the miracle worker leading Bayern midfield from house. Somebody that played only 30mins from quarterfinal to final led them. When they want to count top 5 important players in that Madrid run kroos won't even be mentioned.
