Busquets role in attacking: Sergio Busquets position himself behind the two midfielders, forming a triangle at the heart of midfield. This allows him to aid the two midfielders and help them find space to work their magic. He controls that triangle and it goes with him to wherever he pleases. Busquets role in defending: Sergio Busquets splits up the two centre-backs, moving them wide along the pitch. This allows him to lodge himself in between the two centre-backs and control the defensive line. This now means that the formation has evolved to a 3 CB formation with the two fullbacks pushing high up the pitch and providing danger from the flanks. The twist: The key part of this position is choosing when to do what. Do you push high up the pitch and form the triangle or do you stay back and partner up with the 2 CBs. This is the part that this underrated genius does so well. He prioritizes situations and carefully makes each move. Now, 2 Champions League titles, 4 La Ligas, 2 Club World Cups, 3 Supercopas, 2 Copa Del Reys, 2 UEFA Supercups, 1 UEFA EURO and 1 FIFA World Cup later, Sergio Busquets, only 25 years old, has left a mark on Spanish, European and World Football that will stand the test of time.
