Xavi was a world class player earlier too but his qualities became much more emphasized under Pep.
So before being coached by Pep how was Xavi regarded?

Context matters. Pirlo didnt have a Guardiola and a Messi. Still, look at his CV
I don’t think that helps much. Ancelotti, Kaka, Seedorf, Shevchenko, Nesta, Maldini, Cafu, Gattuso, Inzaghi.
Of course it does. It’s hard to stand out with that team because they’re not just goal oriented. Pep placed a high value on Xavi, and Messi scored a lot of goals. That’s the only difference.
