Andres Iniesta discussed the evolution of his relationship with Xavi during their time at Barcelona. Initially, their potential compatibility was questioned due to various other talented midfielders in the squad. However, their partnership flourished after Pep Guardiola took over as manager in 2008. Iniesta noted that their understanding developed slowly over time, allowing for a strong connection, which was eventually so intuitive that they needed only a glance to communicate on the field. Ultimately, they played numerous games together, proving their critics wrong through their synergy.
My connection with Xavi grew organically, without forcing anything. It developed over time, as we got more chances to play together. Maybe people forget now, but there was a time when it was said we were incompatible.
There was a lot of talk, but we proved the opposite. We grew up with the same footballing philosophy and understood the game in the same way.
