Busquets announced his retirement. Is he an underrated player?

When I was young, I played football on the stadium and met a football friend who looked very much like Busquets. He is 1.88 meters tall, more than ten centimeters taller than me, and he is outstanding in the crowd.

Weight looks very thin, and it is estimated to be about 80KG, which looks very slender.

I play as a midfielder, he plays as a midfielder, and the two of them will compete in the midfield.

When fighting him, what I fear most is his back. The big body and long legs were like a high wall, and the feet were stretched out and could not reach his ball at all.

He is very smart. Every time he sees me coming to grab his ball, he turns his back, holds his butt to the person, and then spreads his hands, looking fearless.

Seeing that I was short and not strong enough, he was not afraid of me at all. He picked up the ball at will, which made me feel embarrassed.

After being bullied on my back several times, I had no choice but to rely on predictions to block his ball path. Generally speaking, he will focus on the direction of the moment he turns around to determine his position of the ball.

To grab his ball, this is all you can do. When he really controls the ball, I will not have the chance to grab his ball and will not have the advantage in front of me.

From then on, I have a sense of "fear" for tall midfielders, and that kind of reverence comes naturally. A tall player with good ball control and excellent skills will be very envious of him.

Every time I watch them play football, I always think that it would be better if I could be taller, with my hands and feet long and I would not be bullied. I have no other idea to tell this story at the beginning, just to talk about my impression of Busquets through my own experience of playing football. I admire him very much when I see him playing in the midfield at Barcelona and still the core of the team.

Because I know very well how threats such a player will be on the court and what help it will bring to the team. His role is irreplaceable.

Flexible and intelligent playing style, and outstanding figure, are rare talents on the football field and a height that ordinary people are difficult to reach.

Having said that, what are the most prominent characteristics of Busquets playing football on the court? It's the brain.

I have observed his habit of playing football. His most powerful thing is his sense of position and vision, the accuracy of prediction, and his observation ability is very keen. There are few mistakes when running, and you can always get to the position the team needs most.

He is very good at making up for teammates.

Don't look at him as tall, this awareness is quite good. If the central defender advances or comes to the full-back position to fill up his teammates, he will retreat to the middle to direct his teammates to defend; when he attacks, he acts as a supporter in the backcourt, and he will observe the running positions of the teammates on the two sides at any time, as well as the positions of Xavi, Iniesta and others.

If he finds a gap, he will pass the ball without hesitation and will never be slow.

A player with a big picture and a team sense, is very smart and has a strong adaptability.

Back then, Guardiola liked to use him, and then let Yaya Toure go, because his sense of control and team sense were stronger than Toure. In terms of physical fitness and confrontation, Toure will be better than Busquets, but from the perspective of passing and control, Busquets will be more suitable than Toure.

Tuere likes shooting habits of forward and long shots, but it is not very compatible with Barcelona's system.

When Busquets plays, older fans will definitely think of Guardiola's plays. The rhythm and habits of the two of them are exactly the same, and they both have the style of leading the overall situation.

I still remember Cruyff once commented on Busquets, and the conclusion was very fair. He said that Busquets is always so steady and experienced, no matter whether he has a ball or not. When there is a ball, he can simplify the situation by touching the ball one or two times, and when there is no ball, he can run to the right position and be ready to intercept or counter-rob.

This sophisticated and mature kicking model also led to the success of Busquets. Low-key, simple, not showing off, it doesn't seem important, but it is a core part of the team. Whether or not he plays football will be two different ways, and it is the cornerstone player to increase the team's upper limit.

He will be a player that people who love football really like.

Just like before I wrote Dino Baggio, there are two Baggio, Robert and Dino in Italy. Robert Baggio scored crazy goals in the frontcourt, but Dino Baggio was equally important.

Don't look at him being inconspicuous on the court, fans who have really watched the 90-minute game will know how strong Dino Baggio is. Running, interception, and enthusiasm on both sides of the offense and defense brought great help to the team and supported the entire central axis of the team.

There are inevitable in the game on the court, and it is difficult for the team to achieve good results without these players.

Regarding Busquets, I think he deserves such praise.

In terms of career achievements, Busquets is also a Grand Slam player. He won all the championships he deserves, and he has not lost the league, Champions League, European Cup, and World Cup. He is also a big scene and is not in a stage fright on major stages.

Many years later, I believe everyone can still remember him. Not only will he remember his acting temperament, but he will also be impressed by his football skills. He is also a brilliant star in the history of Spanish football.
