Sometimes names can weigh heavy in football. Those adorned with a surname that has already made a mark in football—via family relation or coincidence—carry expectations beyond usual levels.
The son of a former great is expected to be as good as his father; a player named after a legend must have something special about him (in this instance, our thoughts go to Ronaldo Vieira of Leeds United—and his twin brother, Romario).
A name can attract your eye to a player before you’ve seen him play, and that’s certainly been the case for many when it comes to Oriol Busquets of Barcelona.
