Xavi believes disrespectful to blame Spain-Croatia nationals for arranging match

14:15   18 June, 2012

Barcelona and Spain’s national midfielder 32-year-old Xavi dismissed rumors spread by Italian outlets that they will arrange to play in a draw 2:2 with Croatia simply to block the Italian national’s appearance in quarter-finals.

 “Absolutely not. We only know how to play attacking football, so a draw would not suit us,” The Sun quotes Xavi.

He also said that is their style and the one that made them European and world champions.

He claims it is disrespectful to blame both teams, as they need to win and neither will go for the draw.
