Yeah he has been useless for the national team also

We all saw what your schweinsteiger did outside Bayern grin
What has he done since 2012 when prime Xavi and Iniesta was there to cover his behind

Like I said before Schweinsteiger was the Alpha don dada for club and country. Busquets was carried by generational talent that won before him. 4 of the 5 International tournaments since Busquets has been useless

1.If Bastian schweinsteiger went to old Trafford to collect pension then so is Busquet now adays.

2. There is no distinct difference between the two. As Busquet had xavi,iniesta so was Bastian schweinsteiger had Kross and Lahm. The failed winger was never at any point self made.

3. Busquet has won Euro,Bastian schweinsteiger will need another lifetime to win it.
Lol you're joking. Busquets has been useless since 2016. Chopping humiliation in the Champions League back to back to back to back. My question is why is it that since Alonso, Xavi and Iniesta retired he has been totally useless for club and country even before he hit 30?

Lahm is a RB. Try another lie

Lol. Imagine comparing Kroos to Xavi and Iniesta cheesy grin

Xavi and Iniesta won a Euros without Busquets. Busquets leading a team cannot even put in decent performances week in week out while still in his athletic prime

Put a traffic cone with Xavi and Iniesta and they still win the Euros. They won the Euros with freaking Marcos Senna at DM.

How is it that the second those two retired, nobody ever included Sergio Busquets in the discussion among elite DMs ever again

There's never been a bigger passenger in the history of football than Sergio Busquets. In the dictionary beside the word passenger should be a photo of Sergio Busquets

If you’ve been following my takes here on Busquet, you’ll see we both have the same opinion about him. I don’t rate him, he’s not my kind of DM. I once said it that he was the least important player in that Barcelona then, also said Jorginho will perfectly do his work with Xavi and Inesta. I’ve said that here.

But the truth of the whole thing still remain that no Bundesliga DM dead or alive will lace his boot when it comes to any football metric that’ll be needed to rate them.
Busquets is a product of La Masia tax. In a league where Schweinsteiger has played at DM. Lothar Matthaus too? That's big cap

Take out Xavi and Iniesta. And Busquets is just another La Masia prospect. It's not coincidence he's been useless since they left

Sergio Busquets is a La Masia tax enjoyer. He has his mother to thank for birthing him in the golden era of Spanish midfield

This dude got to play with Xavi, Iniesta and Xabi Alonso ffs

Isn't it curious that since all 3 retired for club and country Sergio Busquets only in his late 20s and early 30s has been irrelevant since 2016.

The man is 34. But has been washed for at least 5 years. Coincidence? I thinks nada

What helped Bastian schweinsteiger ? Bavarian tax ?


You should help with better reasons why Sergio Busquet isn't all that and not all this that even your favourites players are equally guilty off. You can do better than echoing ibi.me points that can't pass this thread based on credibility.

Where was Bastian schweinsteiger when Barcelona beat you 4 - 0 in 2009

Where was Bastian schweinsteiger when Borrusia Dortmund whitewashed you in 5-2 DFL cup finals in 2012

Where was Bastian schweinsteiger when real Madrid sodomised you in front of your home crowd in 2014 by[b] 4 - 0[/b] ?

Let not talk about other disgraceful scoreline he was part of whilst in Manchester United?
Let me rubbish this your weak argument quickly

First off everyone knows Bastian Schweinsteiger was washed when coming to United. Your argument is neither here nor there. Schweinsteiger came to play retirement ball at OT

The distinct difference between Schweinsteiger and Busquets. Is that Schweinsteiger did not have no Xavi and Iniesta carrying him. He's self made. Busquets is not

Schweinsteiger competed and won as the alpha don dada of his midfield never use him in the same context as Busquets, Busquets I repeat is an enjoyer of La Masia tax.

Is it not Busquets the whole world was praising just last year for his wonderful performance for Spain in Euro? He missed the first 2 games which Spain couldn’t win, only for him to come back and Spain started winning and he even got 2 consecutive MOTM.

When he met the eventual UEFA best player in the semifinal, Jorginho no see ball play.
Rodri is not even guaranteed a starting spot for this World Cup sef.
After how many years? The same Busquets that was pure dross for the last 5-6 seasons.

What did the Busquets play in WC 2014, Euro 2016 or WC 2018.

So because they beat European superpower Slovakia and nearly blew a 3-1 lead against Croatia we no go hear word?

Outplaying Jorginho is hardly a ground breaking feat. Everyone knows Jorginho is mid and the year he had 2021 where he just so happened to be in a CL winning team and Euro winning team will go down as one of sporting biggest glitches, just like Buster Douglas's win over Mike

Kimmich in all his glory isn't half as brilliant as Busi. The positioning, exploration of spaces and of course legacy are just few of the many that Kimmich will have to die and resurrect up to a thousand times to achieve.


But have at it all you want. Agenda mustto agend
I no blame you se. Na La Masia tax dey help Busquets life. Where was his positioning and exploration of spaces when we were ram rodding and sodomizing your team with cricket scoreline.

Lmao.

Musiala is not on the same level as Pedri... Not even on the level below him. Na BayernLiga e day, even Braithwaite would be a top scorer there.

Yeah, Kimmich is faster than Busi and that's it. Any other thing, is complete balderash. Then there's Jong that has understands eagt it takes to stay fit first before bettering Leon.

Kessie is nobody's mate.. I mean, every of their bench concerned is shiit compared to the Ivorian.

The good thing is... Football isn't won by categorizing individuals against one another but as a team. I'd say Bayern is the better team and not peat individually cos if that's it... They've lost right before the match got started.
Hehehe. One or two players wey you don buy dey make you poke your chest out.

Na Busquets and Kessie you dey take compare Kimmich. Lol ok oh grin

The problem we're facing is more than just losing mane..
It's more than Mane alone but you people really underrated the work Mane did in that frontline. The pressing and runs and the fact that your creativity does not actually come from the midfield. It came from guys like Mane and Trent.

All the dirty work and gegen pressing. Dropping deep and driving forward. Liverpool fans most of you keep hammering on the number of goals Mane didn't score and it tells me you people are not watching your team with cultured eyes.

Mane is not a goalscorer. The season he came he dragged your mid squad back then to top 4 finish and he only scored 13 goals

Anyway I'm starting to sound like a homer but as the season goes on we shall see.

Kumaru is a pressure fighter. Their style takes a lot of hits just like Joe Frazier in boxing. Of course he can't fight Canelo but he remains one of, if not the greatest UFC fighter of all time. Leon was outclassed but got lucky. He capitalised on Kumarus weak point cos Kumari always moves his head like a boxer would, anticipating hits from his opponents hands. That move Kumaru made before being knocked out was a perfect boxers stance, little did he know Leon was preparing the leg strike which he never saw coming. I don't think it will repeat itself if they fight again.
You're right. He is a pressure fighter but his head movement is really poor. It's not a knock on him, wrestlers are typically terrible boxers

Obviously the size of the head might be a factor grin It's why I was laughing when I heard he wanted to go up to 205. That his hittable head if Jiri Prochazka knack am e go join him ancestors for Auchi

I can't fault Kamaru entirely for the K.O I only wish he stood and ate the jab like he had been doing all night. Leon is a sniper but he has no real power. I don't recall him even wobbling Kamaru with his hands.

Kamaru maximised his skills but there's still a few holes in his game.

I felt there was a bit of over confidence or arrogance towards the end with kamaru or just maybe the jabs of being boring was getting to him. I felt at that time he should have just run down the time tho, someone like stylbender would have run down the time there.

People wey dey carry their children come watch them for combat sport they try Sha, imagine watching your dad eating punches and kicks anyhow.
Lol. You are right. Considering most of Leon's hits were not powerful but they were finding it's target. It's ironic that the one time he tried to slip the punches he got caught in the worst possible way

Anyone familiar with how fights go will tell that all the ingredients of an upset were hiding in plain sight

The whole talk of fighting Canelo seems funny now in hindsight because Usman's strike defense is laughable. He's too easy to hit. Also the wrestling. Imagine he had any form of submission skills or could GnP like Khabib. That fight would have been over so fast
