The Spanish midfielder has managed to become famous in the Catalan capital after he has shown the world that the holding midfield role is not only about distributing the ball.
The most under-rated player in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 setup is most definitely their holding midfielder, Sergio Busquets.
Widely recognized as a ‘diver’ in the books of the footballing fans, Sergio Busquets has shown the world that he is not only an important member of the Barcelona squad, but in fact, he also plays an important role in the Spanish first-team.
Rising from the Barcelona youth setup, La Masia, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Busquets-c33048 has shown the world what he is capable of.
The Spanish midfielder has the ability to intercept the ball perfectly in the midfield and his chemistry with players like Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 plays a huge role in his success.
The Spaniard can easily be considered as one of the best holding midfielders in the world right now, especially after his performance in the final of the FIFA World Cup 2010, helping http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 win the title for the first time, as he managed to man-mark Wesley
Sneijder throughout the game.
Since Busquets is an important player in the Barcelona setup, not many thought that he will be replaced in the first-team.
However, in case he does not take things for granted, Tito Vilanova has two other holding midfielders at his disposal, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-Song-c4804.
The Spanish holding midfielder, Sergio Busquets, is not letting them take the first-team spot as his performance has always been exemplary.
In a recent interview, the young midfielder spoke about his early days with the Barcelona first-team and said:
“I had been training for a few days with the first team and I got sick with two days to go before the game. I came to train all the same and said I had slept badly. With one day to go, they asked if I felt okay to play and I said I was fine, that I was perfectly
ready.”
“I wasn’t nervous. I think more than nerves it was wondering what it would be like. New teammates, such a big stadium … it was all new. More than nerves it was not knowing what was going to happen.”
“It went as I expected. To surpass my expectations, we’d have had to win, that’s what was important. Personally, I think I did well for my first match, but it was a shame that they equalised, a goal from a free-kick with a rebound.”
Barcelona most recently won the game against Granada and recorded their fifth consecutive win in the Spanish La Liga.
With five wins from the five games that they have played, Barcelona are currently at the top of the Spanish La Liga, eight points above their arch-rivals, and current Spanish La Liga champions, Real Madrid.
