A master of la Pausa , he waits for his teammates to make the move, and just when the opposition is weakest, Sergio pulls the trigger. He dictates the tempo perfectly. Knowing when to pass laterally, when to break the lines and when to pass backwards is very difficult. You have to be aware of the layout and current positions of both teams to make this decision. The fact that Busquets has been doing this consistently for a decade is ridiculous. Because of him, his team can sustain attacking play with him ready to recycle possession in the final third.
A lot of people state that Busquets is a liability in defence because of his lack of pace. But thanks to his excellent game-sense, Busquets still manages to contribute a lot defensively. The number of counters he has stopped and occasions in which he has helped Barcelona defensively is huge. His interceptions are one of the reasons he is called the Octopus of Badia , and rightly so.
But for all the big stars, there are always unsung heroes that help put all the pieces of the puzzle together. One year later, Pep brought Busey with him to the first team. Busquets has been tremendously valuable and a major reason for the titles the club has won recently. But why is Sergio Busquets underrated by so many people? In this article, I will name the top three reasons why he is underrated. Busquets is one of the best one-touch midfielders in the world. Here are three reasons why Busquets is underrated and the top two attributes which Busey needs to be given more credit for.
Sergio Busquets is lucky enough to play with arguably the two best midfielders in all of football in Xavi and Andres Iniesta. Both of them have had amazing careers for club and country, are very popular with fans and the media, and both Xavi and Iniesta deserve all the headlines they get. This is not a bad thing obviously, but it does affect how some people see Busey on the Barcelona totem pole. Transfer Tweets. What's new New posts New profile posts New threadmarks Latest activity.

One of the best ever in his position. He's underappreciated because he keeps it super simple and doesn't do anything particularly outlandish or noticeable, but if being at the right place and making the right pass all the time was easy everyone would do it.
Xavi and Iniesta wouldn't have functioned nearly as well without Busquets consistently holding the fort behind them. It took a long time for Carrick to be recognized, both by United fans and football fans in general, as a great midfielder, let alone one of the best in the league. He had a similarly unassuming way of playing the game that was easy to overlook unless you paid close attention, but for some reason or another we just seemed to be winning way more games when he was on the pitch.
Darndest thing. Joined Oct 24, Messages He was world class easily. Not only was he one of the most important cogs in one of the best teams football has ever seen, I'd genuinely put him in top 3 defensive midfielders of his generation.
