Whilst Budget Xavi has been working away in the youth ranks of C.F. Catalunya, he was offered a role in Stockholm's season and an opportunity to show the scouts of the SSL the quality the central midfielder possesses. Having such a big figure in the world of football as a dad, Budget Xavi was always going to have big expectations and hype that most players will never experience in their life, let alone at 16.
Budget Xavi though showed up in his first appearance for Stockholm with an assist, 2 chances created, 8 key passes, and 90% pass completed out of the 60 attempted. Budget Xavi even showed some promise in the air winning 3 out of 4 headers despite his small size. Coming into this game, there was an expectation that Xavi would be able to dictate the game even at his young age. The youngster did not fail to live up to the hype though as his passing stood out as expected.
Worryingly, Budget Xavi was the culprit for his team conceding a goal, but at his young age and just fitting into a new system, there is a bit of a pause before concern. If Budget Xavi can iron out some of the wrinkles in his game, we should be expecting to see a generational playmaker in the middle for years to come. Time will tell if Budget Xavi will be able to handle the physicality of the SSL, but it is clear he has the ability to potentially be one of the most technical players in the league. With the right development, many are rightfully excited to see if Xavi will take his skills to the next level. Supporters of C.F. Catalunya will closely be following along hoping to see their local talent drafted and returning home. Many still remember the accomplishments of his father and will hope he can contribute to the club as well.
