Xavi Turn & Goal

Xavi turn and goal. Any questions on how to turn and go to goal, just watch Xavi. The Barcelona maestro is known more for spraying the ball around and letting Eto’o and Messi do the goal scoring.

But lately, he’s been scoring more and more goals, as he did for Barcelona towards the end of the season and as he does in the video below. Xavi is a player who might just lead the Spanish side to Euro glory, especially if he’s doing stuff like this. Watch this Cruyff like turn by Xavi and how he cuts through the defense to score.

This was just a friendly match versus the United States, but Spain will have to up their intensity in the attacking third if they really expect to go far in Euro 2008. They have all the talent, with Fernando ‘El Nino’ Torres just coming off a spectacular year for Liverpool.

One player who stood out in this match was Freddy Adu. He deserves more time for Benfica, hopefully he’ll get it.
