Xavi Hernandez (Spain & Barcelona)

Barcelona’s midfield metronome dictates the tempo of a match with his phenomenal pass completion rate. He works superbly with partner-in-crime Andres Iniesta, the pair undoubtedly responsible for enhancing Messi’s game further with the steady stream of passes with which they provide in the final third. Xavi is now into his 30s, and a chronic Achilles injury notwithstanding, has the potential to continue for several years yet.

哈维•赫尔南德斯(西班牙/巴塞罗那)

西班牙足球的杰出代表，拥有出众的大局观和手术刀般的最后一传，球队大脑，中场指挥家。与梅西和伊涅斯塔组成铁三角，帮助巴塞罗那队横扫欧洲足坛，同时期率领西班牙连夺三届世界大赛冠军。本届比赛将是哈维的世界杯谢幕演出。
