A new goal of madness in his collection, which already includes several other sumptuous ones. At only 20 years old, Xavi Simons continues to amaze everyone wherever he goes. Last season, it was in the Eredivisie, at PSV Eindhoven, in a championship judged a notch below which allows many players to flourish and build up confidence. The new loan to RB Leipzig was to establish what the Dutch attacking midfielder is made of.
And obviously, it’s solid. The German press has been under his spell since his arrival. Just yesterday, she praised the contribution of the Dutchman, whose fabulous goal arrived at a time when his team was struggling against Red Star Belgrade. Compared to Robben by Sports 1he is judged “unstoppable” by Bild. His first goal in the Champions League did not just have an aesthetic effect.

Because what also pleases is his defensive investment, and his very collective state of mind. “Yesterday he showed everything a player could do on the pitch, but he was also relentless in the duels. For the opponents, it is really painful to live with”, notes Georg Kreul, journalist for our German colleagues at Fussball Transfers. Beyond his good performance in the Champions League, he also won in the Bundesliga.
“In the Bundesliga, he shows his technical quality every day. His ball control is exceptional and he also works for his teammates. If they are in better positions, he will pass the ball to them. He is not at all selfish and that already makes him one of the most important players in a team that is contending for the Bundesliga title this year.”, continues Georg Kreul. Author of 3 goals and 4 assists in 8 league matches, Xavi Simons is off to a good start. And should add other jewels to its collection by the end of the season.
