Xavi: Scholes The Best Midfielder For 20 Years

Xavi, who is described as the heartbeat of Barcelona and Spain, has today revealed that Paul Scholes is the player to look up to.

“Paul Scholes! A role model,” said Xavi. “For me – and I really mean this – he’s the best central midfielder I’ve seen in the last 15, 20 years. I’ve spoken to Xabi Alonso about him. He’s spectacular, he has it all: the last pass, goals, he’s strong, he doesn’t lose the ball, vision. If he’d been Spanish he might have been rated more highly. Players love him.”
