Marco Verratti has named Sergio Busquets as one of his inspirations in an interview with L’Equipe. The Italian midfielder, a mainstay of Paris Saint-Germain and considered one of the best central midfielders in the world, praised Busquets alongside other players whom he considers as role models.
“Busquets is still one of the best in his position. When under pressure, he keeps calm and gives tranquility to the team,” Verratti said.
He also mentioned another former FC Barcelona player, Thiago Motta, as a role model. He played alongside Motta at PSG between 2012 and 2018.
