1. Sergio Busquets (Spain & Barcelona)
A first-choice for club and country, Busquets' predominant role is to maintain his position behind Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta, dispossess the opposition and pass the ball to his more creative teammates

1) Sergio Busquets – Barcelona

It’s hard to stand out and earn praise in a side that includes Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Neymar, but Busquets does just that. He provides the backbone to the most exhilarating attacking force in world football, and his role is equally as vital as the men in front of him. Busquets virtually never gives the ball away, enjoys a physical battle, and knows how to trick a referee, too! At the moment, there are no better defensive midfielders around.

Nihilist:
I would take Matic over Busquets anyday though

airmark:


He lacks attacking instinct such that mikel fare better in that aspect. He plays what they call "make e no spoil for my head". Barca's near-perfect offensive play covers his a..ass and coloured his flaws. Modern day football is evolving, even Patrick Vieira in his days moved the ball and attack sometimes to score goals as a DM. You saw what happened to valdes too when he came to man utd. I just hope this busquiet moves to another European club to get battered before fidgeting to Saudi Arabia to retire.

nonsoroyalty:


Pep guardiola chose busquet over toure

Spain coach chose busquet as first choice dm

They are f¤ols right?

While a nairaland internet warrior who is not even known beyond his home town is the best football pundit who thinks yaya was better at barca

homesteady:


So even with the dangerous highline that Barcelona plays with, you still want all the players to be pushing forward offensively?

As nonsoroyalty rightly said, you haven't really given any credible reason why yaya is better, except for wailing that he is a diver, he is a digestive biscuit, bla bla bla!

Yaya Toure is an awful DMF, but a good AMF, not even box to box sef (cc. Hensben) because he doesn't track back and is lazy defensively. didn't you see his defense score in the stats raumdeuter posted? This stuff is popular knowledge - that is why they brought in Fernando and fernandiho to do the defensive work!

After the worldcup, Mascherano was praised as the best DMF, but he still couldn't displace Busquets from that position in barcelona! He played some games as the DMF, but it was clearly evident that he is no Busquets!

BTW if Pep chose Busquets over Yaya because he is spanish, why then did Pep buy Mascherano just when Busquets was still developing?

Xavi : “Without Busquets, Barcelona and Spain could never had achieved what we have achieved”

raumdeuter:


How come 4 diferent articles I pasted all agrees Busquets is the best DM in europe or are they all written by Bayern fans coached by Guardiola

hensben:
so bouquet was the reason barca won treble. Lol with this statement of yours who is now the kid. I will not waste my time with a troll like you.

Any la liga/spanish id.iot with access to internet could write articles on blog and publish. Arsene wenger after losing vidal chase is turning to your beloved diver as alternative. Do I need to tell you what that means? Left-over. Don't be carried away with a 27 year old immobile midfielder who is poor in attacking creativity. Has he even dribbled a player before passing the ball in tight situations on the field in his life? Thank God you have Arturo vidal, that's how a defensive midfielder should be playing though not an out and out dm because of pirlo in juve but he wins possession, move with the ball, passes it and score goals. Matic is also a good example. By the time bisque is 32 like yaya toure, he may be signed in Saudi arabia as a goal keeper.

Pataki:
What kind of man opens his gob to start ranting at a woman who barely has no relevance to football? And for sure, trust the shekpe fans, they are busy dancing shoki to Coach Maureen doing what he knows best.

Is he the only coach in the PL? Yet almost everyday, his mouth has been leaking in the dailies. Pathetic sod.

Thats why they say Chelsea fans are ignorant multiple articles have been posted here from different journalists all over the world from ENglish to SPanish to german pointing to Busquets as the best DM in Europe and NOT one single article says the same about Yaya Toure

Instead of you to apologize to everyone for the idioticc opinion you keep on ranting

This is a characteristic of ppl who watch too much local football. Asking is Busquets dribble someone. LOL Is there a law in football that you must dribble someone as a DM. That was the same idioticc reasoning some were posting about Hazard drimbling all over

How many ppl did Xavi dribble in his whole career to be named the best Central midfielder of his time. Joe Cole, Cuadrado, Denilson Ikedia-Hazard, Belarabi who dey dribble where are they and who reckons with them

I am sure the best player are those who dribble

hensben:
you are not making sense mr. Sergio and yaya play different position for their club how is that too difficult for you to understand.

bykebyke:

No he hasn't dribbled a player before,all he knows how to do is dive and act on Broadway.

Reasons are being shown to you why Busquets is the better DM but apparently your eyes can't see them.

Tell us why Yaya is better than Busi and you will come up with he scores more goals

You mentioned being on 4g right?

Sit down and watch!!

I have articles written like those you quoted who rated xabi Alonso, yaya toure , Arturo vidal and Martinez above your diver but I don't need to post any. The fact is they are genius compared to Sergio. don't ever write Sergio b's name close to xavi's. Xavi was initially a dm like him in fact in 1999 at wyc, played as right full back but because he is dynamic he can bomb forward without fear that's why they put a limited ability player, sergio to just stand there and stop opponents for more creative players to use ball. Your Sergio b is a bit better than mikel in sluggishness. A ''Spanish wanyama'' will bench him at barca.

raumdeuter:

Stop lying Xavi did not play as a RIght back in Nigeria 1999. He is too slow to play as a full back Coira was the one who played right back for SPain in Nigeria 1999 alternating with Gabri and Bermudo was the left Back

Xavi played midfield

Shey na the kain lies una dey tell yourselves for viewing center be this. You no remember say some people actually watched those games and can remember

airmark:


That says it all. If you like bring someone that has won the ballon d' or, he would n't displace Sergio B. I think you should take a break and think about it. I don't know why it's too hard for you to know the reason why Sergio biscuit and valdes were that favoured.

airmark:
Ozil knew he most times turned back for help from colleague in tight situations, so he gambled on one of very few moment of Sergio b's brilliance.

See bro, based on your logic. mikel is better than him, hence the best DM in the world.

Ermmmmm, please don't make me start suspecting you have a problem with comprehension Why are you replying to only part of the sentence?

So why are you crying more than the bereaved?

Bimffo:
How can you say that 35 year Old Mikel is better than Busquets.? Mikel cannot do 1/10th of what Busquets is doing..

Or which Mikel are we talking about here? Mikel cannot even do what Mikel Arteta does as a DM, and we should not forget that Arteta is Spanish.

And let's forget Racism here.. Busquets is Better than Yaya as a DM

Busquets is an Upgrade of Makalele.. Doing the dirty Jobs while others are playing. He does his own dirty Job codedly.

Now let me finish you and Dayo with just one genuine link as regards your over-hyped sluggish busquet. De Liga de futbol in spain always give awards to performers in each department of football every year. Please since 2009, that busquet, the diver has been playing , how many times has he won BEST MIDFIELDER AWARD? If you don't know check . He has nt won it because he is not a spectacular performer. Xabi Alonso has won it, even that year yaya toure was leaving barca he was second runner up to xavi, despite all claims he was poor. Please I wont argue about this again.

“Sergio Busquets? We are two very different players. I think it’d be impossible to replace Sergio because he’s so good, he’s a midfielder made for this team. The difference between my football and his is that Sergio is more positional, he holds his position well and that makes our play more fluid. I try to make the team more physical, to be more on the lookout for ways to help others. That doesn’t mean we can’t play together, we’re very different central midfielders and Sergi’s style is much more suited to the way FC Barcelona play than mine”
