Incredible adventure! - Leipzig's Xavi is now a licensed pilot.
Xavi Simons, the famous Dutch footballer (21 years old), has now been given the chance to fly a Red Bull plane. He’s been eager to experience this for a long time and said, "Today marks my first time on a plane like this. I just want to savor the flight."
The flight, which also included Red Bull driver Dario Costa, took off from Halle/Oppin airport and lasted around 15 minutes. Xavi sat at the front of the plane and experienced maneuvers like loops and twists. The skilled attacking player was even allowed to control the stick for himself.
Afterwards, Xavi shared his enthusiasm, saying, "It was an incredible experience! I'm overjoyed that I did it and I feel fantastic. Dario taught me how to control the maneuvers on my own. We flew overhead and did loops - it was madness!"
After receiving a yellow card suspension against Bremen, the international will play again in Frankfurt on Saturday (3:30 pm) as a starter. RB Leipzig already has a spot in the top four of the Champions League secured, which is essential for Xavi's long-term plans.
Leipzig's Desire to Retain Xavi
It's no secret that RB Leipzig wants to keep the loan player (PSG contract until 2027) with actions like this. With the influence of sponsor and majority shareholder Red Bull, the international is popular due to his large fan base, with 5.8 million Instagram followers. And the marketing opportunities offered by the group are said to be of interest to Xavi. It would be a win-win situation for both parties.
Additionally, Leipzig is switching to Puma in summer, which is Xavi's personal outfitter. In addition to the sporting aspect, Leipzig is creating a favorable environment for him. The Dutchman is guaranteed a starting spot and feels trusted, allowing him to continue to grow and improve. It's possible that they could offer him the former number of Forsberg (10), which would be an appealing addition. Xavi in the 10 might be charming!
