'El Pulpo': Sergio Busquets

BEST DM IN THE WORLD........

Seriously tho, whats up with the through ball assist and shot outside the box at the weekend......

What was he thinking lol?

Dont know about the shot lol

But the through ball he is capable of, just very rare.

I believe he is called the anteater or something on barcaforum.No idea why.
One of my favorite players right now and imo the most ideal player to play the Xavi role once the maestro retires.
Plays the game in slow motion still seems to have loads and loads of time.
Tactically perfect,clever and always willing to do the dirty work for the team.
Also his dragbacks and feints are a treat to watch.The one which had Oezil flying through the air was just classic.

Ozil died lol

I dont think I can remember a player in the deep midfield who has shown up so many players in such a short amount of time.

Nobody routinely fools players like him. The amount of times he has owned players without even touching the ball is enough.

Alex just a guess but probably like an Ant eater he quietly sweeps everything up.

Never heard of the anteater. I heard something related to Octopus before. None of them really stick just yet.

He fooled Rooney countless times in the CL final.
Its just incredible the way he does it.He will feint going one way and then go the other,leaving the opposition player completely flat footed or in Oezil's case down on the ground.

Watching Barca has actually improved me as a player, copying moves like Busquets. I have never stolen as many moves off a player since Ronaldo.

I can only imagine what would happen if I got to train with them, look at Mascherano's improvements on the ball for example.

Same here Dani, Busquets, Iniesta, and Xavi (mostly Busquets though to be honest) have certainly made me a better player. Busquets pass feints are absolutely ridiculous, in how good he is at them.

Question, is there anyone else you guys can think of who has played a crucial role in his respective club and national team that is as decorated as Busquets at the age of 23? I can't think of one.

Im pretty sure he's called ant eater because of his face lol...

One of my best players. Play DM IRL si I try to emulate him.

It literally looks like Ozil tripped after the feint.
But I can't tell if he was trying to go for a standing tackle and got shitted on by busquets.

or if busquets feinted and ozil kept going and lost his footing?

But that pass he had against Valencia>>>>>>

Busi is textbook. If I wanted someone to play DM, I'd just say watch him. The perfect holding mid.

I still dont get why ozil dived like that. it was not tackling it was not pressing what he was doing is yet secret for me

Love the posts, Im really liking him of late...noticed that hes also vital to us winning the ball straight back after we lose it up front, hes virtually always the first guy to the ball once its loose up front, thats just so important. I like Octopus ir Biscuits (for humour) and if no better name comes up.

I doubt he will be able to replace Xavi though, hes not the type as advanced in the play maker type of player able to pick out through passes consistently. But defensively and covering tackle etc, hes second to none.

I think he was absoutely the first youngster Guardiola brought on as soon as he was coach of the first team. Its incredible to think of it. I dont think Ive ever seen a young player rise up so quickly and become such a consistent top player. He played as a starter in the WC and winning it in the space of just 2 years.

Biscuits!

Needs to stop the play acting.. I'm sure his teammates are getting pissed at him at this point.

Just like Divenaldo, Dive Maria, and Pepedive should stop the pitiful diving.

I'm being serious dude, those players make me mad as well with the diving.

All I'm saying is that busquets does it way too much. When you guys went vs getafe instead of shooting 5 yards away from goal or laying it off he just dived.

Other then that he has a fantastic touch and unbelievably disiplined. Just needs to tackle a bit better, but he's very good at slowing down attacks and forcing them to go to the wings. A genius in his own right.

when the FUK did he dive today? 3 dirty tackles against him, he could have got injured !! #pathetic

Busquets was immense today. MOTM for me.
