Start of professional activity

Sergio Busquets made his debut for the main team, "Barcelona" in the match, held in the framework of the championship of Spain. This happened in 2008, on September 13. Then his club opposed FC "Racing" (Santander). In a more solid meeting (in particular - in the Champions League), the player first time took part in the same year, but on October 22. Then the opponent of "Barcelona" was the Swiss "Basel". In the same game Sergio Busquets designed his first goal. The final score of the match was 5: 0. And the second goal he scored in the last match of the group stage. Then the Catalans played against the Donetsk "Shakhtar". True, on the field they left the reserve squad.

The first season Sergio Busquets held on "excellent". He went on the field 24 times in the national championship, played 7 matches in the Cup of Spain and eight games of the Champions League. This was a very good start.

Way to success

Sergio Busquets became especially frequent on the field in the second half of his first season, since first the head coach wanted to observe how his game would go. The result pleased him, and the player began to release on the field much more often, and often - in the main line-up. As a result, the promising midfielder of "Barcelona" was named the best young player of the Spanish championship season 2008/09. And it's not surprising, because few people are released in the final of the Champions League and the Cup of Spain at the age of twenty.

By the way, at the same time, in 2009, he was awarded the "Bravo Trophy". This award is usually awarded to the best young football player in Europe.

Further career

In his next season, the Catalan slowly but surely received the status of the leading supporting midfielder of the whole team. He even began to get out of the base of such a good player, like Yaya Toure. In the Spanish championship Sergio entered the field 33 times. To this, it's worth adding 10 Champions League matches, and you get a good result for the season. Sergio played a significant role in the conquest of six (!) Trophies for that year. After all, he managed to equalize the score in the game, which was held in the semifinals of the club World Cup. Then "Barcelona" was inferior to the Mexican club "Atlanta".

However, in 2010/11 he scored just one goal. Then he increased the score of the game against "Athletic Bilbao" to 3: 1 and, naturally, it was a victory. By the way, in 2010 and 2011 this player was included in the symbolic teams.

The following season, his first ball sent to the gate, "Chelsea" - it was a match that takes place in the semifinals of the Champions League. The second goal he designed in the last, 38 round of the championship of Spain. Opponent then was FC Betis. And in 2013 it became known that the contract with the player was extended until 2018. The compensation amounted to ... 250 million euros.

By the way, before the start of the season in 2014/15, the player changed his number - if before he performed under the sixteenth, now his "T-shirt" flaunts "five". And he is the vice-captain of his club.

Interesting Facts

Many people claim that Sergio Busquets is a simulator. Is it so? Despite the fact that the player has more than good successes in football, he is not ashamed of the simulations. There was once a case that for a long time crashed into the memory of fans of this sport. Then "Barcelona" played against Milan "Inter". Between Thiago Motta and Sergio there was a scuffle, as a result of which Busquets effectively fell on the lawn, covering his face with his hands. It was to portray Sergio's intense pain. But only the cameras filmed his cunning look and a cheerful smile, which he himself demonstrated to the public, opening his fingers slightly with his fingers, believing that no one would notice. This case inspires Internet jokers to create different memes and funny pictures.

True, the rest of the players do not approve of the player's behavior. Sergio Ramos, for example, was offended even by Busquets. Then he was removed from the field because of the foul, which he applied to the player, "Barcelona". He even wrote in "Twitter": the way Busquets skated on the lawn is something. This is a dishonest habit observed for a player like Sergio Busquets.

As you know, the life of a player is not bad. True, he hides it with all his might from the public and the press. So no details other than the fact that he has a girlfriend, no. Sergio does not consider it necessary to take out his life outside the stadium for public inspection.
