Barcelona midfielder Xavi agrees with Johan Cruyff's assertion that Real Madrid players run a lot more. Cruyff says Real's reliance on individualism hurts them physically.
"He's right," said Xavi. "Di María is an individual player; Ozil, individual; Cristiano, individual. Their careers are based on running thirty or forty yards. It is natural to be tired later.
"At Barca the only one who plays like that is Leo (Messi). We do more positional and combination play, Madrid are more individual.
"It is normal to be worn down more."
