Xavi enjoying life at Al Sadd

Al Sadd midfielder Xavi says that he has been "surprised by the technical level" of the Qatari league.

Spanish midfielder Xavi has revealed that he is settling nicely into life at new club Al Sadd.

The 35-year-old joined the Qatari outfit on a two-year deal in the summer after leaving Barcelona, who he had represented since 1991.

The World Cup winner has also admitted that he has been "surprised by the technical level" of his new league.

"It doesn't matter that I'm here. It's still annoying when I mess up a pass. I can't stand it," Xavi told Marca.

"I was surprised by the technical level of the League. At first my teammates were a bit shy, but now they try to nutmeg me. I'm enjoying the game more than ever."

The midfielder provided an assist on his Al Sadd debut in Sunday's 4-0 win over Al Mesaimeer.
