Learn How to Play Defensive Midfield like Sergio Busquets | Player Analysis - Ep.2 

Which players else do you think didn't get enough credit for their contribution?

Del Bosque said it best: “You watch the game and you don’t see Busquets. You watch Busquets and you see the whole game.”

This shows how without Busi, Xavi and Iniesta would have never played in the same midfield. Great Video!

What he does mostly is close the passing lanes. His priority is not winning the ball through tackling but winning the ball by choking the movement of the ball. I play in a similar position but I could never do what he does. If you look closely at how he moves, his game is very different from the likes of Kante or Gattuso who are more of a combative type of DM.

I like how barca players move to received a pass not just stand and wait

I really enjoyed this video, I learned a lot about Busquets and the role he plays. If I can suggest an improvement, It would be to make the captions last longer as I had to pause the video to read most of them. I am interested in the role Jordan Henderson plays for liverpool.

Great analysis. I have always been a fan of Sergio Busquets. I aspire to play like him. when i am on the field, I am constantly doing all this. but of course not at the accuracy and efficiency of The great busquets.

My best player ever. I would never love another player like S. Busquets🥰

Such a great video. I just find your channel and dude, I am impressed. Sorry for my word, but your presentation seems "humble" but the content is RICH. I am struggling to understand many modern football terms. especially the box-to-box midfielder. But this video shows me how great this role is. I actually a bit annoyed by Busquet's diving and face covering while peeking incident back then. it was hilarious as it is embarassing to watch. but now I realized my small-minded understanding of his contributions to one of the Prime Barca squad. Its hard to shine beside great names like Xavi and Iniesta, but this guy keep his humble presence and consistency and still has every reason to stay at the main squad till this day. Dude, I am absolutely mindblown now. Thanks for the video. May good things always happened to you.

Brilliant analysis. Thank you.

Great analysis 👍..loved the vdo❤️

Brilliant brilliant analysis

Apart from that, the most important thing is that you have to have control, passing and a high level of self-comfort

Good video👌🏻 please keep on uploading these 🔥

i dont know if youll ever see this but thank you. You made me wanna play football again after giving up. I know I’ll never be as good or better than busquests cause no one ever will. Just like how no one will be a better cm/cam than Zidane.

When the analysis is on S. B but LM can't be ignored 😎 Great video, good play from Sergio

all that in one game omg ❤️‍🔥

I am impressed with Jordi Alba's sprint, he immediately understood what Messi was thinking of 10:07

Love busquets as a player. Appreciate this videos mate as I am more interested in football logic rather than just skills Will you make more vids like this, thanks

Fantastic

The Master of hold up play ..PERIOD!

Oh boy...I'm always reluctant to be critical of support for Busquets, but the part about how he isn't there to shield the backline and how he doesn't tackle is just incorrect. Busquets is a high-volume tackler and also very accurate--and I say this b/c there is widely available data on his tackle rates & success. He also intercepts at a high frequency--again, these numbers are available. It is true that his positional awareness is extremely high, but that also doesn't mean just hanging back; it means he (generally) knows where everyone is on the pitch and can keep track of that very well. It is also true that he isn't like other DMs such as Kante or Casemiro BUT that is b/c he's more effective defending through pressing high, rather than tracking back in situations where there are many transitions (b/c he's slower than them). He is also more likely to get overpowered in physical duels b/c he's skinny. Despite this, if you look at his heatmaps, you will see that he actually covers a very wide area of the pitch, just like Kante and Casemiro. Where Busquets stands out from other people in his position is superior technical quality that allows him to evade press *while* being able to find forwards and build play through one/two-touch passing. Essentially he has the characteristics of two different types of players: a destroyer and a playmaker. Earlier in his career people focused too much on the former b/c Xavi & Iniesta were there, and now they focus too much on the latter b/c those two are gone. For some reference, this is an old article about Busquets but an excellent one (Busquets' qualities have not changed much over the years): www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1s1oo42

Beautiful buildup from 9:48-10:13

He is genius..

the reincarnation thing, was said by Vicente del Bosque, not Guardiola

Still the best

As a real madrid fan i hate busquest ...but can't deny that he is super clever got great vision and the only barca guy left who understands tiki taka football the most as a player...
