An incredibly skillful center midfielder who organizes his team's game, Xavi has excellent field vision, is able to keep up the necessary pace, and is always looking for weak links in the opponent's defense. Football has been a passion for Xavi's family, a cult that has dominated everything. Even their dog had the name Gol (Goal). Xavi's father, a former player with the Sabadell club, opened a football school in their village where Xavi was being trained as well. During one of the matches, when nearly the whole team rushed into attack, Xavi stayed put in the midfield. When his father asked him why he had done that, Xavi said with all seriousness, “You don't want us to be caught unawares with a counterattack, do you?”
