After beating Andrés Iniesta last Thursday against Greece, today Sergio Busquets has hunted Xavi Hernández. The current captain of the National Team He played his 133rd match against Sweden with the national jersey and tied for third place in caps with his former teammate and new coach.
Busquets is a fixed with Luis Enrique, so much so that Greece wanted to give him rest and did not enter until the second half to keep him fresh for today’s ‘final’ against Sweden. He was a starter in the final four of the Nations League and one of the players who received the most praise. The captain shone with Spain while with Barcelona he had offered a poorer image. One of the keys is that he shows that he feels more comfortable with Luis Enrique’s game, with one more block together, than with the one proposed by Koeman, with the most stretched team on the field and that made him suffer at 33 years of age. Now Xavi Hernández will meet again with his former partner, but with a new relationship: coach-player. And with the aim of getting a return on what he is giving with Spain.
