Ignorance is an individual thing Oga. Lemme ask you - what role does Pirlo play??

Ignorance atimes can be a collective thing and its what unite most EPL fans

Pirlo is a Deep lying playmaker not a defensive midfielder. He actually started as an attacking midfielder before he was drafted deep

Everytime pirlo MUST always have a proper defensive midfielder around him to function

ElDeeVee:
Andrea Pirlo

Lmaoooooooooooo
Edit that your comment sharply! it's quite embarrassing

barca won treble as well when yaya was playing there. What I'm trying to say is that barca can win by using another not so good players like Valdez, pique n bousquet in their wing so far there is messi(mostly), Xavi n iniesta. These guys made up the barca system for like ten years now. Of course. No club can start match with 8 players, it's against the sport rules. Yaya is a better footballer than bousquet any time any day.

When Barca won the treble, Yaya was chased away from the Defensive Midfield position in favour of a rookie called Sergio Busquet and soon he was sold off

Your case is irredeemable! Your daftness has gone to another level that you can't even lie sensibly again!

You are a shameless pathological liar! You should be stoned out of this thread! brainless sheep!

These are just 3 comments, I don't have time to start digging all the comments!

You mumu ehn! You don edit my post. Anyways, make I leave you with your childish behavior.

barackohandso:
If team trophies don't get you anywhere, then what will? Or what's the essence of playing football if not for trophy winning?

We're comparing like for like. What has cristiano ronaldo got to do with Sergio busquests?

In football, there's nothing called like for like, you can compare any two players regardless of their roles. That's why there are individual accolades to reward those that don't hide under the shadow of a team.

He played DM for juve most times though he isn't naturally one so the guy is somehow right and can be excused.

Nepotism chased yaya away from barca just like Eto o thanks to pep guardiola.

You still don't get it. Messi, Xavi, toure and Iniesta have all been at barca before busquests came in yet Barca didn't win the treble. Barca's first treble success happened with Sergio busquests as an integral member of the squad, his first season actually. Spain have been underachievers in European football, then came Sergio busquests in the 2010 national team and Spain are champions. You still don't get it? It's not a coincidence

Sergio busquests has redefined the DMF role. He's a reference point for all other DMFs

Sergio bousquet is behind barca n Spain success? Nothing wey person nor go hear from some of this barca fan on here. I've asked my friends and colleagues who are barca fan bousquet vs yaya, they always say I shouldn't even mention it that yaya shiit on bousquet.

Chai . I can't believe what I'm reading
You can compare any two players. How about comparing zouma and benzema then?

Busquests isn't hiding under any team success. He's made his role his by playing his style. Barca's two treble wins have come when he was an integral member

This is extremely silly

Pep at Bayern currenly plays Alaba and Boateng who are black. This current transfer window he bought 2 black wingers in Costa and Coman to replace Robbery

Have you asked him to check from the same wikipedia he quoted what was said about defensive Midfielders and what was said about Deep lying playmakers

ElDeeVee:

If you can compare any two players, then please compare zouma and benzema

What individual award? Are you expecting him to win the ballon d'or or something?

I typed it from my brain initially, you no gree.
Then, I had to show you what you and your likes believes.

Well, you've learnt that today...deep lying, holding and defensive midfielder all means the Makelele role

hensben:

He has never been ? Really

UEFA Euro Team of the Tournament: 2012

UEFA Champions League Team of the Season:
2014–15

Just two? After barca n Spain success over the years. Now that's average.

If you can't compare any two players, then Ball on d'or is useless

This is very funny

from the same wiki page you quoted

Defensive midfielders are midfield players who focus on protecting their team's goal. These players may defend a zone in front of their team's defence, or man mark specific opposition attackers.[11][12][13] Defensive midfielders may also move to the full-back or centre-back positions if those players move forward to join in an attack.[14][15] Sergio Busquets described his attitude: "The coach knows that I am an obedient player who likes to help out and if I have to run to the wing to cover someone's position, great."[15]

A deep-lying playmaker is a holding midfielder who specializes in ball skills such as passing, rather than defensive skills like tackling.[20] When this player has the ball they may attempt longer or more complex passes than other holding players. They may try to pass the ball long to a centre-forward or winger; or pass short to a teammate in the hole, the area between the opponents' defenders and midfielders.[21][22]

But you said he has never been . Abi no be wetin you talk again be that?

I get point. That's definition of average player.

This doesn't sync with our discussion. We were talking about Busquests vs toure and you included Ronaldo. They don't play the same role

Ballon d'or is a reward for the best player in a calendar year not player comparisons

Average player wey dey start for, and play full time for teams wey win world cup, euro cup and 3 UCL . You be clown I swear
