Oriol Romeu, a former Barcelona midfielder who played under Xavi, believes the Dutch team made an excellent choice. "Xavi has a lot to offer, he knows the game inside out," Romeu said. He praises Xavi's ability to explain his vision to players and his demanding approach to details. "He's also very demanding when it comes to details that may seem small, but at the top level, they can make a real difference," Romeu added.
Romeu also highlights Xavi's emphasis on taking initiative, possession of the ball, and quick counter-attacks. "He wants his team to have the ball, to offer each other solutions, and to quickly regain possession after losing the ball," Romeu explained.
