The age is something inexorable in the world of the football and before or afterwards all the footballers finish being victims of her. From it does some years, Sergio Busquets is suffering in his meats the consequences to fulfil years. The decline of the Catalan began does already a pair of seasons, but his quality has gone maquillando his bajón physical until the moment. The problem is that every time it is more complicated solve the errors that causes him his date of birth.
The defensive midfield player of the FC Barcelona fulfilled 32 years the past 16 July, an age that in normal conditions would not have to be excessively alarming, but that in his case is it and a lot. The international Spanish every time suffers more in transitions, every time fails more in the pass because it no longer is able to play to the speed of before and, in summary, every time is more a load that a solution for the Barça.
In front of the Real Madrid, in the Classical, Fede Valverde portrayed him with an impressive career to which Busquets not even ran. After his bad performance in front of the madridistas, Ronald Koeman decided to not to put him in Turín in a crash that required of the physicist and of the fortress of which Sergio already carece. It went out in the second part and no desentonó, but neither shined excessively. After improving his feelings, his technician decided to bet by him against the Alavés.
The problem is that in front of the alavesistas the mediocentro went back to be shipwrecked in transitions and was drowned by the pressure of the vitorianos in the first part. The one of Badia no carburó, lost too many balloons, did not know to go out to the pressure and completed some first 45 minutes for the forget. His nefasta performance did that Koeman decided to substitute him to the rest to give entrance to a Miralem Pjanic that yes surrendered and that did to work to the Barcelona.
The bosnio gave him to the culés all what Busquets was not being able to contribute and the group barcelonista improved a lot of. His merit, but also demérito of Sergio, that did that any mediocampista that contributed criterion, speed in the circulation and more physical, could stand out. The raw reality is that the Catalan no longer is to give all this, at least no in big dose, that is what demands him every time that it is headline.
Busquets has complicated to shine with Koeman
In a more determinate role, with less requirement and more arropado in the centre of the field, there is not doubt that the '5' still has a lot of things that contribute. His ease to play to one or two touch follows here, the same that his vision and intelligence. The problem is that in a double pivote like which want to Koeman goes to have complicated to shine, since the Barça needs things that his age do not allow him give. It seems that the trainer of Zaandam is taking note, but Sergio is a legend, has a lot of weight and will be complicated that it leave to be important. Something that does not go to be positive for the growth of the Barcelona.
