As amazing as that sounds, it does Busquets no justice!

Promotion, sixtuple, record breaking La Liga season, La Liga's Breakthrough Player and a World Cup ;o!
and from what I've read, the trophies he won with Juvenil A are just as mouthwatering..

While this might possibly be the most amazing achievements ever achieved (given the length of time), I honestly feel he deserves so much more..
It's beyond me how didn't even get nominated for the WC's Best Young Player, let alone win it..

1) Busquets was superb. Was never more than ten yards from Sneijder and didn't allow him any time on the ball. Excellent player.

I remember his father Carlos who was Barca GK from 1994-1996 (Cryff sacked Zubi because of the 0-4 defeat to Milan). CB was a poor keeper. I remember that QF against PSG when Rai beat him to a header and then should have saved Guerin's shot.
So when I saw the name Busquets on a Barca teamsheet I thought "Oh shit". SB is very good at his job. He shields the central defence and picks up their key playmaker. He closes down very quickly, he tackles well. His short and medium passing is accurate. He has good touch for a defender. He gets the ball to Iniesta, Silva, Xavi or Xabi fast. He is quick and agile.
Of course Barca fans wished he could pass and take free-kicks like Ronald Koeman. That isn't going to happen. And I don't think he will be as great as Beckenbauer or Sammer. But he is only 21. I don't think there is a better 21 year old DM in the World. And if he didn't play then Spain might not have kept all those clean sheets. Senna was awesome in that role. And he has a powerful shot. But SB is a very good player. If he was English he would play in the centre with Gerrard.
I never forget that comment from Eric Cantona about Didier Deschamps and him being a watercarrier". Every team has to have a watercarrier around the centre circle.

I must admit I've been converted... Around halfway last season I used to be a Sergio hater, but right now I love the guy, he's actually one of my favourite players... His playacting is awesome, he has skills, he can enrage opposition players and fans like no other, he does de dirty work and he doesn't give a damn, all of that with his innocent looking face, hahaha... What else could a manager ask for?

I will confess that I used to play with the number 13 on the back of my shirt, but two weeks ago I switched to 16... It's funny when people ask me about it, the look on their faces when I say it's for Busquets is priceless!

And as Meta said, everyone is entertained, I've been doing a pro-Busquets campaign to convert my friends and co-workers, and we have a lot of laughs watching him play, he so predictable in an unpredictable way if that makes any sense...

Bottom line: Sergio is the man!
