Hi community!
The youth player has definitively closed the Busquets file and has become the coach's extension on the pitch.

Sergio Busquets, like Casadó now, arrived at Barça's first team without making a fuss, without being one of those youth players who everyone sees succeeding in the Blaugrana. It was Guardiola who saw the hidden potential that would end up making him one of the best midfielders in the history of football. Pep, deep down, saw in Sergio what Cruyff had seen in Pep. History is cyclical and now the present and the future respond to the name of Marc Casadó.
Cruyff and Guardiola, like Flick now, have the merit of sensing the future, but in the end the great merit goes to the players who seized the opportunity and never let it go. Pep did it and Busquets, who became such a protagonist that Barça forgot that nothing lasts forever. It may seem like an overly simple analysis, but the long journey through the desert coincides in large part with the enormous void that the man from Badia left in the Blaugrana midfield.
And that is Casadó's great merit, to finally close a file that had been open for too long. Flick stopped his departure in the summer and Marc has thanked him by becoming his extension on the pitch. First alongside Marc Bernal, whose serious injury left him alone in danger. However, the response, once again, was that of a giant and the man from Sant Pere de Vilamajor has shown that there is no better breeding ground for positional midfielders than La Masia.
He is a key piece for any team whose offensive bet is as risky as Barça's, whoever their coach is. Also with Flick. Casadó has only missed two games this season when he was available, Athletic and Rayo in the second and third rounds of the League. He was a substitute and came on in the second half of the defeat against Osasuna and missed the defeat against Las Palmas due to suspension. In the Champions League he has played everything and has already, with the forced break due to suspension, played eleven consecutive games as a starter. His presence is so important that it is not at all exaggerated to paraphrase Tito Vilanova with Piqué and say that without Casadó the invention falls apart.
See You soon! 🏐
