Xavi on the importance of having a fourth midfielder on a team:
"I think we feel comfortable with any system. We've played great games with two wingers. What changes is the name. Perhaps the neatness of the man who doesn't lose so many balls as a midfielder."

Xavi: "But nothing changes. We are doing what we were doing last year but we are more mature and with more variations. It's not about systems, it's about depending on the player we're more comfortable with at the time."
Xavi: "The four midfielders who play are the ones who lose fewer ball possession and who can minimize transitions."
Xavi highlights the importance of having players who can keep possession of the ball and minimize errors, rather than focusing on the specific system or formation used by the team.
He believes that as long as the team has players who can control the midfield, it doesn't matter if they play with two wingers or four midfielders. Xavi emphasizes that the key factor is the quality of the players and their ability to perform, rather than the system or formation.
