Why Sergio Busquets is an unsung hero (Part 3)
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 Busquets simply gives a cover for the players that have left the defensive lines and with his great ball-winning techniques he is often successful while tackling.
This season Josep Guardiola has experimented a lot with his team. With all the first team players coming back from the international duty, Guardiola had to rest a few to gain back their full fitness. With Josep Guardiola resting his first team players, Sergio
Busquets was often seen in a centre back role as the club captain Carles Puyol or his favourite partner http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique was rested.
Carles Puyol injured himself last season and rarely made an appearance for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 first team. As this season started, Puyol was unavailable for the Catalans; therefore, Sergio Busquets, Eric Abidal and Javier Mascherano had to fill in for the Barcelona
captain. In addition to that, Gerard Pique also picked up an injury during the international break; therefore, Josep Guardiola had to take a lot of risks as he played Busquets and Mascherano in the centre back positions while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Seydou-Keita-c33177 often featured in
the holding midfield role.
Currently, Barcelona have only two players with extraordinary aerial ability. The best being Gerard Pique, the second best is definitely Sergio Busquets. One thing that simply sums Sergio Busquets’ importance for Barcelona is the fact that a player like
Javier Mascherano is never chosen to play in the midfield whenever Sergio Busquets is available.
The former Argentinean captain is regarded to be one of the best holding midfielders in the world but with a team like Barcelona, it is only Busquets who is willing to sacrifice glory for first team opportunities.
While the whole world sings for Barcelona, they always name players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Alves, Cesc Fabregas and Gerard Pique. However, they do forget one name who looks to be unimportant but
is getting the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 done – Sergio Busquets.
The Spaniard is definitely bringing a lot to his team and by sacrificing glory and not scoring goals, or giving many assists, Sergio Busquets can easily be called as one of the best holding midfielders in the world. At such a young age, the Spaniard has
accomplished everything that is in his reach. You name the title and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Busquets-c33048 has won it all – from FIFA World Cup 2010 to the UEFA Champions League.
The Catalan youngster will always be an integral part of not only the Barcelona team but also the Spanish national side. Currently, the Spaniards are lacking the defensive quality as Carles Puyol is not fully fit to perform in a game while Gerard Pique is
also regaining fitness. Sergio Busquets is the only player in the Barcelona team who can play in the centre back position alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071.
There is no doubt that he is not the best of centre backs and his lack of pace was exploited by Milan’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexandre-Pato-c4901 in the first match of the UEFA Champions League group stage. However, there is no doubt that Sergio Busquets gets the job done whenever
the team needs him the most.
