'I felt like a conference player': Rio Ferdinand recounts when Busquets made him look mediocre

Sport

“It was here at Wembley and we got abused by 

“Your confidence is low anyway and you are trying to get the ball back off him from a throw-in ‘give me the ball, give me the ball’.

… boom, boom, boom’. I felt like a conference player.

“He has bossed this game and he is a fabulous player to watch," Ferdinand said about 

In case you do not know, Conference football is the fifth tier of English football, and Ferdinand never played there. 

The former Manchester United centre-half was on pundit duty for the Spain v Italy semi-final clash at

 was asked to comment on his future at the national team.

"I don't know. It's not the time to think about me. It's time to be sad and proud of our team. We should be optimistic about the team's future no matter whether I'm here or not," the 

 midfielder said, as quoted by Mundo Deportivo. 

"There's a year and a half left before the World Cup. This is the way to go. This will serve as a valuable experience, the Euros are at a very high level. We have a great team for the World Cup. In general, we must be proud of this team and hopefully, at the upcoming tournaments we can fight for something more than the semi-finals."

In a previous interview, Busquets revealed that the 

 will be his last European championship. However, he didn't rule out his involvement at the 2022 World Cup.

"4) Run in a charity marathon race (to prove that he also covers a lot of distance like Kante 🤣🤣).

"Once these 4 things are ensured, I am telling you, Busquets will be a serious Ballon d'Or competitor! I personally won't be disappointed if Busi wins it over Leo 😂😂. I mean, what else do you want from this guy to be a deserved competitor for this trophy."

Look Shawn, coaches influence can turn everyone better,people need to realize this

Not in the case of Busquets , he literally played the same way he does for Barca . Just that here there is Messi who gets most of the credit while Spain doesn't have any good attacker, so its all in hands of Midfield and there is one boss in midfield , Busquets .

Ayan Tiwari

True, we already see it with Spain and Chelsea. Lucho and Tuchel make a massive difference with the same player that people thought will be a flop. But I think it's also because Spain doesn't have a star player of the caliber of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, and David Silva that people finally see Busquet's true worth for Barcelona and Spain.

He always good, and while he is getting older, he is still miles better than anyone else in his position. But, his position as pivot and CDM makes him unnoticed and an easy target to hate. It goes with the job to go more unnoticed. He even says it

Look Shawn

Busquet is good Barcelona just need a coach who understands Barca game. after watching Spain vs Italy i for once worried less of life after Messi in Barcelona shirt barca just need a coach like pep or Enrique who understands the game we have players who can compete high in the game.

To be honest, it's very ironic when I see Busquets get praised like now. Just months ago, people already asked him to be sold for Kante, and fast forward now. They praised him like he is the second incoming of Jesus. 

It's really ironic. Especially for the Cules who has said he is finished in the last couple of years - you were wrong all along. He has always been excellent and essential.

what so special about busquets can't save Barca from Liverpool Rome  B. Munich give me a break sir

Then so did Messi and Ter Stegan , why don't you say a word against them . Why you always complain about Busquets , you clearly seem to hate Busquets and are a glory hunter .

I love this guy. he was one of the best defenders at his era
