Who Is The Best Passer Of The Ball?
JosiahsOnFire (Barcelona) 5 months ago
Who is currently the best passer of the ball?

I believe it's Xavi, he's an amazing holding midfielder, and passes the ball very direct and nearly always perfect....

Not only that, but if you watch him play you'll see he is never tackled, never.... It just doesn't happen, because he always knows his options and always knows what he's going to do with the ball....

If Barcelona didn't have Xavi, they wouldn't score nearly as much goals as they have the previous season....

Ya I agree with you xavi is just amazing but I'm thinking between him and intiesta, because intiesta is also an amazing passer, but ill go with xavi because he's played longer and has more experience

Xavi is definetly a candidate for best passer of the ball. His through balls come very often, and he's very precise too. Xabi Alonso is also very good and I really hope he comes to madrid though its very unlikely. David Beckham is also very good (very close to xavi) when it comes to precision crosses

Yeah, I heard about that.... But I'm pretty sure he wants to stay at Liverpool

Liverpool don't want to sell him

Alonso    And I cringe watching lampard and his chipped passes...

Xavi or Iniesta

There really isn't any question.... No one else even comes close to Xavi or Iniesta. I'd go with Iniesta just to be different (only marginally so haha)
Samdagooner (Arsenal) 5 months ago
Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Fabregas, Iniesta, Scholes, Pirlo, Carrick

Oh sorry I forgot

Lampard and Gerrard, Iniesta for sure, and Xavi.
Iniesta showed his quality against Chelsea in the semifinal of the Champions League this year. He bossed the midfield with Xavi, as he did in the Euro Cup

Definately xavi or iniesta, but i'd have to say xavi is a bit more quality
Kimaway17 (Liverpool) 5 months ago
Lampard Gerrard Iniesta and Alonso

I always seem to go back in time with these comments. The best passer ever would probably be Nils Liedholm (part of the famous Swedish/Milan Gre-No-Li line). It took him two years to misplace a ball and when he did, the entire stadium gave him a standing ovation. Nowadays, Pirlo would be up there with Iniesta and Xavi
Theduke (DC United) 5 months ago
Great answer.... Didn't think of that
JosiahsOnFire (Barcelona) 5 months ago
What do you mean by misplace? Did he score a goal or something?    It seems really interesting...
Theduke (DC United) 5 months ago
I'm guessing misplace, like pass it to the opposing team
JosiahsOnFire (Barcelona) 5 months ago
Oh ok
Theduke (DC United) 5 months ago
Yea.... 2 years? Damn
JosiahsOnFire (Barcelona) 5 months ago
Yeah man, that's why I thought it might be something else.... But I looked it up on Wiki.... OMG...
Theduke (DC United) 5 months ago
Yea.... Ridiculous haha
Kimaway17 (Liverpool) 5 months ago
I think its Scholes. In one match he's pass accuracy was 99% and half of them were 50-60 yrd balls. He is just class
Yusupov29 (Liverpool) 5 months ago
Ok Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alanso, Xavi, Beckham
Ellada10 (Olympiakos Piraeus) 5 months ago
Beckham has the most crisp crosses in the sport! He is the most accurate footballer and I think he should be knighted
Neonseong (Liverpool) 5 months ago
I agree, I know you won't be able to read this but look even Koreans picked that Beckham is one of the best crossers along with Giggs.
