@kenshub_ Busquets was weak and lethargic. Best ever on press resistant but very slow runner, once they don’t have the ball he was overran on midfield. Spain 2010 and 2012, had double pivot, to protect Busquets. Spain 2026, a single pivot and the Xavi of today, Pedri getting benched. Rodri
@TindongJr@sunjo_thomas Rodri just outclassed Messi a week ago. What are you on? Your goat can’t sniff a goal 120 minutes. In 2014 and 2026. Pele could never
@Mannwsz5t@ESPNUK You the stupid one, thinking Xavi one twos are more progressive and incisive than Rodri all around passes. He controls the game way better. There is a reason Pedri who modeled his game from Xavi, got benched and Spain got more decisive. 2026 Spain was way dominant coz of Rodri
@BigEmmy7@DanielRegha@ESPNUK That’s the easiest way to know someone doesn’t know football. It’s an insult to compare Busquets to Rodri. Rodri even controls the game better than Xavi. That’s why Pedri gets benched. If you were playing Busquets, you gonna need Pedri. Busquets can’t control games.
@Iamwrathful@ESPNUK You nostalgia merchants will appreciate Rodri more when it’s said and done. Busquets’ captaincy was very poor because he didn’t have Xavi to control the game. And in 2023, Rodri took over. Rest is history
@olarenwaju201@juanjco824@s_9_6_@Sperratto_@Footy_VAR Rodri doesn’t hold the ball too much. They rather get in each other’s way. Rodri controls the game better than a Pedri or a Xavi. Pedri and Xavi are about control, Rodri is more progressive with his control
@bajikun876@MarzTalksSports If Rodri played with Iniesta and Xavi, you won’t need Xavi. Same way Pedri not needed when Rodri is playing. Rodri control the game better than a Pedri or a Xavi
@kenshub_ Then why Spain fortunes has changed just after Rodri took over the reigns from Busquets after 2022 World Cup? They have won 2023 nations league, Euros and World Cup. All of which Rodri been player of the tournament
@DanielRegha@ESPNUK Not only is Rodri better than Busquets, he’s a better controller of the tempo than Xavi. He like Pirlo, he sees the field more. Rodri been doing what Busquets, Xabi Alonso and Xavi were doing in 2010. This Spain team is way more dominant than 2010. Nolstagia merchants won’t agree
@ESPNUK Spain fortune changed after Busquets retired from international football. Rodri took over in 2023 and they won the nations league. The rest been history
@CornetaChiefs Busquets barely able to run, and he can’t dominate a game like Rodri. People forget Busquets played in double pivot for Spain. Like hanging Pedri together
