the problem was that with messi in the team, he overshadowed everything so much that only few noticed the collection of absolute elite players around him. not only busquets, especially xavi, iniesta, cesc, pedro, pique asoasf. busquets was the glue of this team, what a player. obviously busquets is happy to be around messi, so im happy for him that he can finish his career with him in a chilled place to play like the mls
@@stephenwangondu3618 Thank you. I really think that among other great players like Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, etc, he is the most important player in the team.
He was the most important piece and remember that he discovered him will coaching Barca B team as well as Pedro. Pep needed a player who played in similar position as himself and sees the game as him
I'm really glad Sergio is getting the respect and admiration he deserves. As time goes on, people in general and football legends are giving him more and more credit that he absolutely deserves.
I'm a huge Rodri fan, but Busi's press resistance is the only thing he has got over rodri and that's why he has a slight edge over him. Bcz DMs main role is being press resistant not giving ball away cheaply, when it comes to building attack from the back....
Players that aren’t gifted physically but have a really high football iq are so interesting to watch. Everything is done with a purpose, no wasted moments.
I love playing DM. Win the ball, bait a defender, pass it and come short. When the opposition players know you'll pass it instead of trying to keep possession they literally leave you with the ball. That's when you can start spraying passes and sneaking to the edge of the box to have a pop. Plus I was never the quickest or fittest. Being a number 8 is too much work.
Xavi and Iniesta were world class players. But when Sergio B joined, Xavi and Iniesta were promoted to legendary status. At some point, i thought Busquets was like an older brother to them because he brought calm, composure, security. He gave that “am around today, everything is under control” vibe.
Yo recuerdo aquel gran Milán con un tridente holandés que enamoro al mundo del foolbol, de aquellaos maravillosos años, hablo de gulit, van vasten, raijar.
We all know about his dribbling and passing, but he was so good in defensive duels, both on the ground and in the air, great at interceptions, and positionally excellent. I'm not saying he's Desailly or Rjkard, but a super reliable screen
And in today's game people say/think that Rodri is better. I couldn't desagree more, there's a flair and a level of entertainment to Busquets game that is not seen in today's game, the guy was magnificent and I'm a Real Madrid fan.
as a football fans and watcher. its so frustating if i played against him. im not surprised if some player get frustated against him. simply underrated
Makelele to busquets to rodri. Thats lineage of the best dms in the pep/modern style of football in the world (persoannly i live kante too but he doesnt quite runna game AND destroy like these guys). Have a good one
Wonderful, insightful, and completely accurate comments by all concerned.. Lampard, Gerrad Ferdinand.. well done, gentlemen.. Sergio Busquets a towering giant amongst giants..
Im lucky i had to watch busquets, xavi and inesta playing together its just felt all those year's that they millions years ahead of everyone Its was to the point boring as fuck coz i was Madrid fun .what im saying only could understand if u were like me soccer head from late 2000s until early 2010s More ,all those years i was supporting mourinho chelsea and Madrid lol trust me it will never team like them ever ,now or in the future They where night mare To me as long as messy is super talented he wasnt the problem. those 3(inesta,xavi and busquets) Omg football wasn't fair those years when any club team or country competition play against them They the best as group ever or dont think we will see in future like them for real
I don't understand how people rate some midfielder ahead of the guy called Busquets. All in the name of they won more Champions league is beyond me. This dude is a joystick. I can't name 10 best midfielders without the guy. Knowing football and watching for are not the same thing. How people class Modric above Segio beats my imagination.
Amazing when you watch busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Modric, Silva, etc and you can't not see Scholes. There's a reason that La Masia would show videos of him to the academy players.
Lmao people talking best dm ever 😂😂 dont get me started his a great player but there have been better players who fit into multiple teams even nowadays.
I don’t watch football at all anymore really tbh… But I play Fifa/FC24 (🤮) all the time, and I always always always seem to get him in packs whenever I open them, which has lead me to absolutely despise him on Fifa tbh! But I’ve seen a few clips of him playing over the years and he’s VERY impressive, just annoying as hell on FUT that’s all😫😫😂 Feels like 1 out of every 5 packs I open have him inside them ffs hahah
Or....or.....you guys are just tossers. Place him in a Palmeiras, or a Boca Juniors team, and he'll have taken so many fouls that no one would give him a second look out of a petrol station. Behave lads. Your football doesn't equate to football everywhere. 😊
That's what happen when a genius is playing a football. He has no strong physic nor enough speed, but he has brain. He reads the situation, and act quickly to respond to it..
Let’s also not underestimate his actual skills. He was an extremely skillful & talented player. Not very athletic compared to his counterparts, but EXTREMELY skilled in addition to his vision & pitch IQ.
Maybe not best “defensive mid” cus I can think of a few that are better defensively. I think a good name for what he does is a holding mid or a pivot. He is the best at that for sure imo
@@yovni I agree. There's no way you can love football and not admire Busquets. I'm a real Madrid fan, And when I was younger I genuinely had a deep intense hatred for Barca, It was painful seeing how good he was.
Actual crazy how even at the Barca B’s under pep. Barca itself wanted to let him go. since he was a bad CB wasn’t great at defending and didn’t have the strength for it either. Didn’t have the pace to be midfielder. But pep saw things in himself with him and the rest is history.
The very same thing happened to Pep himself. He was playing right midfielder for the B team and was average at it. Cruijff visited a match and told Rexach to play him in the pivot. The rest is history.
thats how bad it goes for you as barca fan. having incompetent in the team. rejecting very very high potential players only because hes weak and slow as turtle.
@@boboiboy9350 That’s not so much a problem with Barca because they have one of the best academy’s in the world but a problem with football as a whole. It’s so hard to make it pro, 1% of academy players make a living out of football. It’s not an easy job to scout players and more nowadays they would choose an athlete over someone that plays with a brain.
It's like he has a rubber band around the ball, he never knocks it too far forward and always has control over the ball which is why you can't even tackle him. It's crazy.
the problem was that with messi in the team, he overshadowed everything so much that only few noticed the collection of absolute elite players around him. not only busquets, especially xavi, iniesta, cesc, pedro, pique asoasf. busquets was the glue of this team, what a player.
obviously busquets is happy to be around messi, so im happy for him that he can finish his career with him in a chilled place to play like the mls
pique is just lucky to be along the ride
Every player in a team with great attackers is always overshadowed tbh
The difference now is TH-cam and social media, players like Rodri get highlighted more
@@bonkerzisgoodthe difference is Rodri is actually good. Bousquets isn’t underrated, he gets enough credit.
@@707romo707 Ha, this kid doesn’t know ball
I think he is the key factor for Pep's Barcelona success
Your thought is actually an actual fact
@@stephenwangondu3618 Thank you. I really think that among other great players like Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, etc, he is the most important player in the team.
Thats why pep recreate busquets v2.0 in rodri, even not really similar, but rodri can give another thing like powershot
Diria q ele foi o fator chave para o fucionamento do estilo de jogo. Mas, pra mim, a chave do sucesso foi o Messi.
He was the most important piece and remember that he discovered him will coaching Barca B team as well as Pedro.
Pep needed a player who played in similar position as himself and sees the game as him
He is the best defensive midfielder ever.
Delusion
@@707romo707 nah just speaking facts
Sort ya life out
I'm really glad Sergio is getting the respect and admiration he deserves. As time goes on, people in general and football legends are giving him more and more credit that he absolutely deserves.
The fastest slow man out there
need more players like him. gets the job done wonderfully without being fancy at all
That Barca squad will not be surpassed for a good while most beautiful football I’ve ever seen along with some old arsenal games
Yes, Stevie, that's a genuine top quality midfielder.
When u see the game u don't see busqets.when u see busquets u see the whole game ❤❤❤ underrated legend
Underrated comment
True
Heard this before can't remember who said it. Who u quoting bro?
@@daneisaacs895 supposedly Del Bosque said it, but I'm pretty sure the quote is fake
Spot on assessment
he was ice cold in the middle of the fire. best CDM ever👑💎

Busquets , Xavi, Iniesta , circle or Triangle .It is very difficult take away the Ball. It is better to leave them alone .
Exactly 😢
😂😂😂and go home maybe
insane player! big praise coming from gerrard and lampard to
Beat holding midfielder of all time
After Pirlo.
@@andjelkozlotvorexactly what I was thinking. After Pirlo
Calmest defensive midfielder ever.. He is just ghost on the pitch
My favorite player
I have always loved watching Sergio Busquets play
Beautiful footballer, made it look effortless.
In terms of beating the press Busquets is in the league of his own
no one comes close❤
I love playing DM. Win the ball, bait a defender, pass it and come short.

Quería recordarte del gran Fernando redondo, grandisimo centro campista, inteligente, elegante, noble, hemos olvidado otro gran genio
“You watch the game, you don't see Busquets. But if you watch Busquets, you'll see the whole game"
That diamond was crazy. Messi xavi inni n busquettes
Sergio Busquet was just super human
DNA of Barca 💙❤️
Beautiful to watch🧊
Ryan Gravenberch can be like Jim just needs to keep going.
The greatest dm in football history
Fantastic player.....he makes it looks so easy
My best midfielder ever
You will never see a player exactly like him. Everything he did was different from what anyone had seen and anyone would ever see.
Great player, no doubt about that. Pretty good diver and actor too, deserving of an Oscar.
Man City Toura was good as well
no one turned like him, lightning fast
Underrated by the fans of american football or of modern dancing.
as a football fans and watcher. its so frustating if i played against him. im not surprised if some player get frustated against him. simply underrated
There were times when I would rather had Messi to Miss an Elclasico than Busquet😂. The best of all time without a doubt 🤷♂️
I know Reguilon will give his all if he joins again.
He really blinds the opponent who are aggressive pressure
Makelele to busquets to rodri. Thats lineage of the best dms in the pep/modern style of football in the world (persoannly i live kante too but he doesnt quite runna game AND destroy like these guys). Have a good one
Busquet is great because of Iniesta and Xavi
Pep with Spanish cdms in his teams😮
James Milner got sent on a late afternoon jog 😂😂
Roy Keane would say it's his job 😂😅
Geees i feel old now..
I was expecting another overused comment that sounds "If you watch Busquets, you'll see the whole game". Thank god so far there is none.
He is to dm what Messi is to rw/f9/cam for me ❤
Its simple, so no one should ask why pep picked him ahead of yaya toure.
I lobe Yaya, but bousquet is the best.
Wonderful, insightful, and completely accurate comments by all concerned..
Lampard, Gerrad Ferdinand.. well done, gentlemen.. Sergio Busquets a towering giant amongst giants..
Professor Buskiets !
If you watch the game you don't see Busquets but if you follow Busquets you see the whole game
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Messi wouldn't be nothing without his quality team mates
Play easy is the most difficult thing.
Im lucky i had to watch busquets, xavi and inesta playing together its just felt all those year's that they millions years ahead of everyone
Its was to the point boring as fuck coz i was Madrid fun .what im saying only could understand if u were like me soccer head from late 2000s until early 2010s
More ,all those years i was supporting mourinho chelsea and Madrid lol trust me it will never team like them ever ,now or in the future
They where night mare
To me as long as messy is super talented he wasnt the problem. those 3(inesta,xavi and busquets)
Omg football wasn't fair those years when any club team or country competition play against them
They the best as group ever or dont think we will see in future like them for real
Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta and Messi all in the same midfield 🥴
I don't understand how people rate some midfielder ahead of the guy called Busquets. All in the name of they won more Champions league is beyond me. This dude is a joystick. I can't name 10 best midfielders without the guy. Knowing football and watching for are not the same thing. How people class Modric above Segio beats my imagination.
This is why Arteta needs to nab Wharton asap
Rodri is incredible, but honestly he's no Sergio Busquets.
He had great confidence but I'm sorry Rodri over him any day.
Okay
Man is getting compared to Rodri…😭😭😭 I hate this game!!!
Highly rated by Tom Daly.
What's paddy pimblet doing in the commentary box 😂😂
CDM GOAT
When people ask Pep Guardiola “Xavi or Iniesta?” His answer was Busquets.
Pirlo > Busquets
Best defensive midfielder of all time! Hands down.
Played like a matador
best analogy
Lampard . Drone voice
❤
You spin me right round baby right round
No one, and I mean no one is more overrated than an “underrated” Barca player.
As Spaniard i say this: Rodri Will be even better than Sergio. So keep an eye on that guy.
Pasmem! Tem comentarista de futebol aqui no Brasil que afirma q o Gerson do Flamengo joga mais q o Busquets kkkkkkkk
Messi overshadows everyone. One of the reasons why Xavi and Iniesta didn't get the Ballon D'or
Milner 😂😂😂😂😂
De jong's father
Amazing when you watch busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Modric, Silva, etc and you can't not see Scholes. There's a reason that La Masia would show videos of him to the academy players.
You forgot the greatest of them: P i r l o
I PROMISE YOU IN A 90 MINUTE MATCH I WOULD STEAL THE BALL AT LEAST ONCE FROM SERGIO BASQUETS.
Idc what anyone says he is not better than Yaya toure
Completely different players.
Lmao people talking best dm ever 😂😂 dont get me started his a great player but there have been better players who fit into multiple teams even nowadays.
I don't deny his greatness, but I never liked him.
Plays in secons gear because he has no more gears to apply.
Who underrates Him?😂
He was a great player but what a diving cheat
The king of faking fouls holding his face
I don’t watch football at all anymore really tbh… But I play Fifa/FC24 (🤮) all the time, and I always always always seem to get him in packs whenever I open them, which has lead me to absolutely despise him on Fifa tbh!

Cool story bro….. but nobody asked.
Thank you for the entirely useless paragraph you’ve given us. This is a clip about a World Cup, Euro and multiple UCL winner, but nah, PlayStation.
…… well done
Ew. Cringe.
I liked your story bro dont listen to then
Or....or.....you guys are just tossers.
Place him in a Palmeiras, or a Boca Juniors team, and he'll have taken so many fouls that no one would give him a second look out of a petrol station. Behave lads.
Your football doesn't equate to football everywhere. 😊
Most overrated player ever
The Germans and Italians rated him so highly that they wished he could play for their country. That tells you everything.
That's what happen when a genius is playing a football. He has no strong physic nor enough speed, but he has brain. He reads the situation, and act quickly to respond to it..
Well said.
The same thing can be said about Filippo Inzaghi.
Let’s also not underestimate his actual skills. He was an extremely skillful & talented player. Not very athletic compared to his counterparts, but EXTREMELY skilled in addition to his vision & pitch IQ.
And a cold one
He is so good at manipulating his opponents. You can clearly see he often fake a pass to manipulate opponents movement.
But he has reflexes
Best defensive midfielder ever. Absolutely no doubt about it
Yeah, i agree whit you.
He is best cdm
No just for rijkaard and matthaus
There's probably dozens of players who has a claim to that title through the years, lets be honest. But he's definitely the best of this era for me.
Maybe not best “defensive mid” cus I can think of a few that are better defensively. I think a good name for what he does is a holding mid or a pivot. He is the best at that for sure imo
One of my greatest joys as a football fan is that i got to witness this guy play in my lifetime.
Busquets is unbelievable
He is believable. He is a genius, too. And one of the greatest gifts to those who love football.
@@yovni I agree.
There's no way you can love football and not admire Busquets.
I'm a real Madrid fan,
And when I was younger I genuinely had a deep intense hatred for Barca,
It was painful seeing how good he was.
But he was such a cheat, always diving and feigning injury
@@paullafferty1411 doesn't take away from the player he was
i don't even watch football that much yet I know he's the most underrated player in last 20 years
The Goalkeepers are underrated 💩
Literally never been underrated. Hes always rated as one of, if not the best player in his position
Never heard of him until now. So he is underrated.
He was calm like dangerous water. When he had possession, he was the danger lurking in the water.
Actual crazy how even at the Barca B’s under pep. Barca itself wanted to let him go.
since he was a bad CB wasn’t great at defending and didn’t have the strength for it either. Didn’t have the pace to be midfielder.

Pep was only one to saw Busquets skills cuz Pep himself was a player like Busquets. Pep understood how useful Sergio can be
