Xavi was a world class player earlier too but his qualities became much more emphasized under Pep.

So before being coached by Pep how was Xavi regarded?

    I really don’t think Pirlo was particularly well regarded at the time. I feel like only towards the end of his career did he get the love he deserved.

      Were you alive at the time?!

      Pirlo was widely considered amongst the best midfielders/playmakers in the world in the 2000s and early 2010s.
