Not with this frequency he hasn't. You can see his positioning higher up the pitch is more frequent now, as well as him taking more risks with tackles and interceptions higher. This is not a coincidence. In season's past Busquets was generally deeper and far more conservative with his forward movement.
And note, I'm not talking about ball recovery numbers, but rather the advanced locations where he is recovering them. Busi has recovered about 3 of those passes to Messi almost in the final third. He is attempting these recoveries generally much higher up the pitch this season.
I do agree with this. Busi has far more freedom now than in the past. But don't know if it is more because of Raki or Enrique. I think the whole team chasing the ball start at the very front is key to Busi performance in attack and interception. Off cause he can read the game so well but one bad pass is not going to happen randomly. It happen a lot more often when the FWs keep putting on pressure up high. And that is may be every one's legs to run but Enrique's words to guide and I think Lucho is the man to be praised most. He build the team with commitment to chase down every ball, let Busi talent free. Now I think I could call Busi's position as Modern Libero. He has freedom to read and pick the most effective play that suits the situation by him self like messi has in the front. That's when we see the best of Busquets' talent.
