Probably Most Underrated Player in Europe
DonAndres 12 years ago
Barcelona 62 1138

I Know that if thumbs down where still active this Post would have about - 20.
After a long time of considering i finally decided to write a few words about one Player who nobody except for Barcelona fans like/recognise his importance in the team(both Barcelona and Spain National team). Of course i am talking about Sergio Busqeuts.
He is just 24 years old and have managed to win so many titles(not necessary to mention them),have benched Yaya Toure, Made Mascherano a CB because Pep was not able to use him as a Defensive Midfielder because of busqeuts,Song has not played a lot(and even the games that he played he was a CB). So why Every Manager Prefers him to his starting eleven?
First Pep,Second del Bosque and now Tito.
Dont you think that they know something more than us?
Busqeuts has one of the most important roles in Barca,It looks easy to everyone(Xavi,Iniesta they say) but it isn't. His Role is "simple" steal the ball and pass it, no one asks him to dribble,shoot etc.. He makes perfectly what the each coach asks from him.
he has been accused of Racism,Diving,Cheating but he seems not to get affected.
I agree that sometimes he is acting without no reason but I cant imagine Barca without him..

You Can see what others saying about him!

"if you don't notice that role of the defensive midfielder then he is doing a perfect job"
"Rinus Michels"

He is a very quality player. Came out of nowhere when Pep brought him into the team and has been a starter ever since. He has quality passing quality touch quality defending. He's pretty complete in my opinion. Only bad thing about him is that he acts too much.

I hate busquets very much and hes a f*cking diver but i have to say he is amazing. His passes are good and for me he is one of the best Spanish defensive midfielders atm.

@RonaldoR9 I'd say THE best spanish defensive midfielder. Xabi Alonso is more of a holding midfielder. He would never play centerback.
I admire the guy's talent even if I don't like his acting and diving. It's really iritating, especially when it's against my team.

@KingHenry , Xabi Alonso is also great but what about Arteta? or Cazorla? these are good ones too Fabregas is amazing you can place him anywhere in the defense , midfield or attack but the best spanish midfielder right now is for me Andres Iniesta this guy is so amazing and i think Xavi is almost to the same level but Iniesta is a bit better.

@R9 he's talking about defensive mids. Fab, Cazorla, Xavi, Iniesta and Arteta don't play defensive mid

@raimondo well ive seen cazorla and fabregas playing defensive midfielders at the spanish national team even though they are not defensive mid.

A defensive mid acts as a link between attacking and defending. Break the opposition attack before it can pose threat and pass the ball to CM for attack to build. And Busquets does it good.

Good to see two Barca fans accepting his diving :)

I wouldn't say that he's still underrated, since he's finally getting the credit he deserves. Yes, he dives and cheats, but look at the positive side of his game. He's the key to the Barca midfield. Xavi and Iniesta are too far up attacking and Puyol and Pique are too far back holding the defensive line. This guy intercepts basically every ball that gets behind Xavi and Iniesta. He's a great midfielder, but I personally think that Xabi Alonso is still miles ahead of him in terms of holding the defensive line (probably due to experience though).

I agreed he is "ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED FOOTBALLER" in the world right now...It just sad that football fan always look on his bad side... here is  "ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED FOOTBALLER" also his name is Bastian Schweinsteiger.

I absolutely agree with you mate. Everybody has got his own opinion, but if you look further than most people do, they'll all understand. 

He shouldn't be judged for diving or cheating, because he already achieved more at the age of 24 than a lot of people will in their whole life.

He's a hell of a player!

He is not underrated, he is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world but his constant diving anc complaining and bitching has created a very poor reputation for him. I personally hate him but he is really good doing what he does best, diving... hahaha but he is very good at his position and that is why he plays for Barcelona and Spain as a starting XI.

I completely agree with you DonAndres. Without Busquets, Barca would have never won those six titles in 2009. I actually like Busquets a lot, because he plays very intelligent and provocative (i laughed at his Maradona roulette against those two players). His role isn't really to shoot goals or assist them, but to steal the ball from his opponents and pass it to the front and he is awesome at this.
