I knew it busi is underrated af from a football fan's point of view bcs his g/a is low, not flashy with the dribble or a physical monster but that's the role that he wants, he put all of his talents to be in the shadow and work behind the scene to support his teammates, in the interview he also said that he doesn't want to be in the spotlight he just wants to support his teammates as best as he could. For me, Grizz is correct to put him on no 1, the only ones who praise Busi performance are always the manager and players with a high footballing brain like pep, xavi, iniesta, messi, del bosque, sergio ramos, Modric, and even Johan Cruyff. When you watch the game you dont see busquets but when you watch busquets you see the whole games, quotes from del bosque.
