The latter two only ever get criticized, it seems, and there's a clear contingent of fans who already want them out the door (especially Busquets, particularly vulnerable to this nonsense because he never had the same clout and media presence as the other two). But the reality is that these three, the last remaining members of the magical Barcelona team that revolutionized modern football, are holding their respective areas of the pitch together. Just as Messi leads the attack, Busquets leads the midfield and Pique the defense. You can see the other players take cues from them. I'm not a Barca fan per se (I follow football for players and tactics), but Messi, Busquets, and Pique happen to be three of my four favorites of all time, and it will be a dark day when they retire.Yayoihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308190538917207827noreply@blogger.com
