Sergio Busquets

[barca96]

Most of the time he shifts the ball five yards to Xavi. I would like to see Xavi or Schweinsteiger's pass rate.

der kaiser said that bastian is the best player of the WC so espn showed a chart which shows that he is behind in every stat.
i hate looking at stats although they dont lie.
anyways, in the passing section, xavi had the most passes completed and the highest accuracy.

 

[Trequartista]

Xavi:362 out of 464 passe with an 80% rate
Shwiny:
293 out of 328 passes with 77%rate.

Pique also has a 86%rate.

I can be a below average defender and get 100 % passing accuracy just be making a short pass to my side defender or the DM in front of me .
passing stats does lie especially if you take into consideration the way the team play 2-3 meter side passing is much easier than 20 meters long accurate pass

 

[barca96]

haha yeah.i always hate looking at stats. so typical american sports
to me, you need to see how risky the pass is or how important the passes are.
in that case, a gk can have the highest accuracy since he only passes the ball to the defenders
as in the case with valdes. most of the times, casillas would just happily kick the ball as far as possible

If it's so easy to make short passes to team mates then why any other DM comes even near in that list? Busquets is doing a great job in keeping possession which is the key element for both Spain's and Barça's play... As a manager I would cherish a player that promptly gives the ball safely to players who know what to do with it (namely Xavi and Iniesta) so get off his back and appreciate the man's job, he is ace!

Quite frankly because that's pretty much what Spain do, pass the ball around.

Just like Barça... And it's not passing the ball around, it's called keeping possession of the ball and patient build up...

To be honest Sergio's passing hasn't been what's impressed me, its been his ability to dribble defenders 1v1 and find open space to start an attack from deep. He's pulled a few nice stepovers!

ANTEATER ... will deal with frog tonight!

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Had a great world cup so far. He will prevail tonight!
