Break the mold in the world of football It is something that very few players have achieved. It is not usually easy for his own style to change the entire concept of a position, although there are some who did it with superlative yields.
But the Sergio Busquets One of those cases has been undoubtedly. The Central midfielder broke with the classic and added to his position a much more important role, without neglecting the previous characteristics that he also managed to look. One of Lionel Messi’s partners in the king sport announced that he will soon hang the booties.
Marked a before and after: the beginnings of Busquets
Busias they know him in the Barcelona farmhouse, a club in which he took his first steps, confused the world of football. So said it once Juan Román Riquelme And wrong wasn’t. The “five” or central flyer has a defensive function, recovery and short game for creatives.
But this boy born in Sabadell on July 16, 1988, did not settle for that. I had everything that the in charge of stealing the ball in the middle of the courtbut it has plenty of elegance and technique for also Take command and manage the game times. That noticed Josep Guardiolawho took it out of Barcelona B to take it to the first team and from there, never left again.
Pep knew him from having directed him in the third division, since together they achieved the promotion to Second B with team B of the Catalan team. Once he took command after the departure of Frank Rijkaard, he became his midfield axis. And if something busquets did, it was standing out with the beasts ahead: Xavi, Andrés Iniesta and one Lionel Messi.
From 2008 to 2023, they were 722 games, 18 goals and 47 assistsadded to an countless amount of well given passes and important recoveries. Such was the level of Busi, that neither Vicente del Bosque could ignore his great moment: He took him to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and champions were enshrined, in addition to lifting the 2012 Eurocup.
And palmars in football at the Club levels did not miss: won LaLiga nine times, seven cups of the king and the same number of times the Spanish Super Cup. Three UEFA Champions League, three Super Cups and three club World Cups. For two years that he is in Inter Miami, with which he already exceeded 100 games and until December, since in that he will end a successful career.
After 20 years in football: Busquets announced his retirement
“Thank you all and football. Therefore, you will always be part of this beautiful story”thus started the video that surprised everyone. With his voice, Sergio Busquets announced that they will be his last months as a professional soccer player.
“These are my last months on the pitch. I retire very happy, proud, full and above all very grateful”it was the closing phrase for who confused everyone in the king sport and made the style of the central steering wheel completely changed.
Busi leaves, as was the concept that the “five” has to throw himself on the floor and not handle half of the court, something that was born with him, but that he will live in current football until another appears capable of breaking with the mold.
