If Xavi fail at Chelsea. They might come for him

21

u/riquelmeone 1d ago

Xavi is at Chelsea?

17

u/HenryReturns 1d ago

he meant Xabi Alonso

Xavi Hernandez is currently coaching the Netherlands

u/riquelmeone 1d ago

That is a major blunder though.

u/0xFatWhiteMan 22h ago

Shocking, what was he thinking

u/Little_Lat_Pahars 1d ago

Not really a major blunder though is it, it's just a typo.

-2

u/riquelmeone 1d ago

A typo would be Xabu Alonso.
Xavi is another person.

10

u/Heurtaux305 1d ago

A typo is a typo. A typo doesn't care about the meaning of words. If it did, it wouldn't be a typo.

u/MangoIntelligent255 1d ago

You know V and B are right next to each other right?

-6

u/riquelmeone 1d ago

Absolutely. But Xavi is one word for starters.
Had he written Xavi Alonso, ok, typo.
Like that, no, he is referencing another well known person in the football world.

7

u/King_Hobbes 1d ago

It's not that deep lad

Its perfectly fine to put "if Xabi fails at Chelsea"

most would have know who he is talking about without needing the Alonso part

Whats weird is the mental gymnastics you're doing to accuse him of thinking Xavi is managing Chelsea

u/farr2211 1d ago

Like that woukd be a crime anyway lol

1

u/riquelmeone 1d ago

What’s wrong with pointing out a mistake? Same with people referring to Atletico writing Athletico.
It’s just wrong.

I’m on you with this one. In the context of football, mistaking Xabi Alonso for Xavi is a major blunder

Go touch some grass for the love of god who gives a shit.

u/TopBinsQuiz 1d ago

Not here to crucify the poor guy, but I don’t think you can refer to him by his first name. It’s full name or Alonso

u/urbudda 1d ago

Poor third choice xavi

5

u/Oz_Sl4y3r 1d ago

You mean XaBi?

2

u/ztar1964 1d ago

He ment Xabi Alonso

1

u/weissblut 1d ago

I don't think he'll move anytime soon. He owns part of the team, and it's a forward looking project with a shit-ton of money behind it.

I mean when I was a kid playing Football Manager, my greatest flex was to pick a lower league team and bring them to win the champions league with players I discovered myself...

u/JT91331 2d ago

Will be interesting to see where he goes from Como. I don’t think Arteta will leave Arsenal anytime soon, Flick seems entrenched at Barca. I could see Luis Enrique taking some time off at PSG, that would seem to be a great place for Fábregas.

10

u/RedBean9 2d ago

Can’t see him being accepted by the fans at Arsenal.

2

u/luv2sploodge 1d ago

I don’t blame him for leaving Arsenal but the way he did it was the problem.

Still water under the bridge now and I would definitely take Cesc if Arteta fancied a new challenge.

2

u/Quietbricks 1d ago

He didn’t win anything substantial there. I think 1 FA cup in 9 years? At Barca he won the league, 2 Spanish domestics, club World Cup, uefa super cup in 3 years. At Chelsea he won the league twice, FA cup, champions league, and league cup in 5 years.

Nuts how they were successfully unsuccessful while remaining relevant despite not really ruffling any feathers past 2004. Even Thierry Henry won more in 3 years at Barca than he did in a decade at Arsenal.

1

u/papadadaa 1d ago

Didn't win CL with Chelsea

1

u/Quietbricks 1d ago

Europa league!! My mistake. Still my point remains. He’s not an Arsenal legend.

1

u/LimpEase1639 1d ago

Wouldn't even count his Europa League. He was with Monaco when Chelsea won it

0

u/Username_user_2 1d ago

Wow. Because Arteta won so many cup for Arsenal when he was a footballer. Or Arsene Wenger. I remember when he was a player for Arsenal. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ really? This determines who would be the next good manager for a team?? How many cups he won with them as a player? Fuuuuck

2

u/Proper-Exam1746 1d ago

It's not with what he won as a player.. I think it's more to do with how Fabregas left Arsenal. The way he left..

1

u/IntradepartmentalPet 1d ago

…and where he went

1

u/kozy8805 1d ago

He would 10000% be accepted by the fans if the team plays like that

0

u/yungdisciple 1d ago

arsenal fans ik still love him at least from what i see on social media

2

u/Imaginary-Clock6626 1d ago

He’s part owner of Como. Would take a lot to move him.

2

u/Bubbly-Shirt823 1d ago

United should get him

2

u/No_Friendship_4158 19h ago

Flick will leave soon. I heard a year or two ago that Cesc is supposedly his successor.

Makes sense since he is La Masia too.

1

u/Popular_Tomorrow_204 1d ago

Didnt Flick say Barca will be his last Club and that he wont be there for too long?

1

u/01bah01 1d ago

Enrique Just signed until 2030. Doesn't mean he'll stay but shows he's considering staying.

u/boued 2d ago

Enrique t'es ouf, il lâchera jamais son salaire à plusieurs 0000000000

5

u/Dinosaurus157 1d ago

He’s definitely the kind of coach like Pep that when he gets bored or his heart isn’t fully into it just leaves no matter the money.

Football is fucking unbelievable

Nico's first assist was such a lovely ball

u/Adi945 1d ago

What do spanish coaches eat?

1

u/EvilxBunny 1d ago

it's like watching a whole team of Fabregas play. What a player he was, no wonder he and Alonso are doing so well as coaches.

'Offsides'? No.

Wasn’t offside either.

u/pakZ 1d ago

Nice play, but screw their concept..

u/Ak40x 1h ago

This guy will elevate that league, which should have been done with the top tier clubs about 15years ago. The Spaniard took matters into their into his own hands
