Yeah lol. Terrible on diet. Also I have doubts on his low bar squat.

You agree lifting weights helps tremendously for 100m dash.
Agreed in football you won?t be running 100m.
I think general data point is that sprints are usually 20-30.
Given that the start of the 100m requires tremendous power generation/burst of power this resembles football sprint closely.
So why would it not help.?
Also I agree with you on neuro muscular adaptations when you increase squat from 60kg to 120kg . yes maybe 50 percent of it but not all of it and this I will tell you from personal experience.
Also I think you are misreading my intention. I am not indicating a stronger footballer is better than busquets.
You take Busquets put him on strength training for a year he will become a better footballer. In fact unlock more of that football potential
Because his mind may think of certain things however he can?t do them on the pitch because he knows his physical limitations.
So A stronger Busquets is a better player than current Busquets.
It is very rare to sprint even 20-30m. When a player does a run like that he still needs to alter the direction slightly, time the run, be aware of his surroundings, etc etc. It is mostly 5-10m runs at most and then accelerations, decelerations, changes of direction and so on. A lot of movement covering ground is done at 80-90% pace too.
Busquets is and has been on strength training. His physique is great, he is very rarely injured but able to perform very well on the pitch twice a week for 15 years pretty much. The most important physical trait in football is stamina, and after that quickness. He is light on his feet and do not need more power, I am not sure he would benefit from an increased focus on strength training, as he would risk losing both some of his stamina and some of his lightness with it.
