Lekhwiya playmaker Nam Tae Hee picked up the Best Player award at the 2017 Qatar Football Association (QFA) awards.
South Korean international Nam edged out Hassan Haydos and Xavi of Al Sadd to take home the prize on Saturday evening at the Qatar National Conference Centre (QNCC).
However, Nam Tae was full of praise for Xavi in particular, even going as far as to say that the Barcelona legend deserved the award.
"Beating Xavi to win the award: For me, Xavi deserved the best player this season. He played all the games and he played well," the midfielder told Goal.
