Barcelona star Xavi has echoed the view of club legend Johan Cruyff that Real Madrid suffer for playing too much like a team of individuals. The midfield schemer thinks that their bitter rivals have too many players playing their own games, rather than working for the good of the team.
"Angel di Maria plays too individually, Mesut Ozil plays too individually, Cristiano Ronaldo plays too individually", said the Barcelona midfielder to Sport. "They run thirty or forty metres, it’s normal that you’re soon tired."
Xavi went on to comment that Barcelona "play football together", while Real Madrid "stands for individualism and a footballing response."
Barcelona came through a tricky task against Real Zaragoza, triumphing 1-0 at the Camp Nou yesterday, to extend their lead over Jose Mourinho’s side to ten points. Real Madrid are in action today against Racing Santander.
