"Casemiro? Our task is important, I admire him" - Busquets

Busquets is confident that Barcelona will win 'El Clasico' against Real Madrid. Xavi Hernandez's men still have to face Galatasaray in the Europa League, but the next league game is now just around the corner. 

"It's all very different. The self-esteem, the state of mind, confidence. A new coach came who made several changes and he brought his philosophy which he gave us several years ago. The new players have gradually understood it. We're a more complete team. We're still lacking a lot, but this is the path," Busquets said. 

"It wasn't easy when he arrived because few players have experienced that style. It had got lost lately. He has had to insist a lot and it's gradually bearing fruit. When you win and enjoy playing in attack and defence, it gives a lot to the team to believe in the idea, in the coach and in one's self," he said about Xavi. 

Busquets is not expecting an easy game against Real Madrid despite them having the league title almost wrapped up: "There'll be a fight to have the ball, let's see who's stronger. In the Super Cup, as you could see, they went out more defensive. In front of their fans, they will want to be more attacking and have the ball."

"Casemiro? If he's not the best, he's among the best, you only have to see the matcheds and his career. We players who play in that position aren't the most attractive. In the end, you focus on goals and assists. Our job is important, we're in the middle of the team controlling and ordering everything. I admire him, to be honest," he admitted. 

Busquets also praised Benzema and his influence in La Liga. "Yes, for sure, when it comes to stats, goals, confidence... he is big for his team. For them, it's a luxury having him," he said before talking about Barcelona: "You have to be realistic, we're going to compete, but then hope the result goes our way. The club have to continue."
