“In the last 15 to 20 years the best central midfielder that I have seen — the most complete — is Scholes. I have spoken with Xabi Alonso about this many times. Scholes is a spectacular player who has everything. He can play the final pass, he can score, he is strong, he never gets knocked off the ball and he doesn’t give possession away. If he had been Spanish then maybe he would have been valued more.” IfsGivingYearsHas BeensPlayLastsStrongPlayerBallsFinalsPossessionScoreSpectacularScholesMidfielders Author:Xavi
