Will Barça misfortune the happiness of Paris Saint-Germain? Transferred for two years to Qatari club Al-Saad while Barcelona wanted to keep until 2018 (the Catalan leaders insisted in vain), Xavi (35) could be lent in stride at the Parisian club, the paper Le Parisien Tuesday. An arrangement that much easier to find that President Al-Saad is none other than the brother of the owner of PSG, the Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani.
Because there costs nothing
Always forced to deal with the financial fair play, PSG must find ways to circumvent the sanction which is the subject again this season. Xavi constitutes an ideal knowing that the 2010 world champion with Spain no cost to the Parisian club. How is this possible? Just because the legendary former Barça player was loaned to Paris (without purchase option), which would therefore not have to pay compensation, as is the case for conventional transfer. But would not to pay salary to the player 35, whose huge salary (with € 58 million raised between April 2014 and April 2015, he is the highest paid footballer in the world at present) would supported by Al-Saad. Perfect in the current assembly for the Paris club, inspired to this operation in the greatest secrecy by the super hit directed by Manchester City last summer by being there also lend Frank Lampard by the New York City FC, club whose Citizens are co-founders.
Because it would fit perfectly in the game
When PSG has taken over Paris Saint-Germain, Laurent Blanc has immediately relied on the philosophy of the game that made a monster of FC Barcelona in Europe. As Barca, the Paris team has got used to stifle the opposition, to monopolize the ball to confuse the opposing bloc and enjoy the imbalance created to find suitable offset and the difference in front of goal in conclusion a series of passes, often with one or two touches. A strategy in which bathed Xavi, which can even be considered as the global advocate of this philosophy that has been inculcated in La Masia, the famous Barça training center, and that he then applied for ten- seven years on business in Catalonia. Paris rookie would therefore have no trouble blending in the game proposed by White. As he did in Barcelona, where former coach Pep Guardiola had made the cornerstone of his game, Xavi embody this philosophy perfectly well he has in the skin and thus Laurent Blanc is crazy.
Because there will be no trouble replacing
At 35 (he had them on January 25), Xavi has passed the age to claim a starting berth. Monument of world football, Spanish football legend, the Catalan has won everything in his career. If successful Barca in the King’s Cup next weekend and then in the final of the Champions League on 6 June, the record for games played in C1 (156) bear his impressive record to 25 trophies. The native of Terrassa can also boast of being the player with the most appearances in the colors of Barcelona throughout the club’s history (765, including 504 in the league). It is essentially to make the maximum pleasure and taste to a whole new challenge that Xavi would join the capital. Even having to often sit on the bench and only enter that during the meeting, as he has often done this season for his last year in his club always. Player to copy the state of mind he was in any event not in the habit of complaining and think always collective. As David Beckham had been able to do, the most emblematic player of Barça Lionel Messi accept without balking endorse a luxury joker role. As the English star, his arrival would also allow the PSG hit hard in terms of marketing and impact globally.
Because he has lost none of its level
his last appearance under the colors of Barça last Saturday the Camp Nou had reserved an incredible ovation. This shows the lasting memory that will leave Xavi in the heart of the fans of the Catalan club. But if the Spanish international with 133 caps was entitled to such a tribute, but also because it gave the best of himself to the end for FC Barcelona. At 35, “La Machina” not as often as before plays (42 games played but only 19 tenure in the league), but it still has rendered many services to his team this year. And proved he had lost none of his talent and remains the first choice can metronome, much like Thiago Motta does it wonderfully in Paris, to blow the lines of its rather unique quality passes. Very clever in playing the game and equally skillful in placement, Xavi demonstrated a rare efficiency in all areas of the game. Even in the final act, including 85 goals in his rich career. Always so valuable, it would bring a lot in midfield the Parisian club.
