and Navas starting, Negredo subbing in around 65?. I am thinking VdB will give a chance for every one in the squad to play, just like he did at the WC (Albiol was injured.) My own view is that the Spanish midfield is a lot more fluid than previously. Some of the problems of Xabi and Xavi clashing in terms of who takes the main playmaking role seem to have been removed. Xavi is back in control and Xabi, with a deeper position is able to try and exploit opponents during transitional phases. Busquets being slightly further forward provides more options due to his positional sense and first time passing. There is a school of thought that asks whether Busquets could be positioned in an attacking midfield role and used as a pivot, positioned centrally and spraying passes either side of him. Its not something which completely convinces me. But anyway, that's not what I meant by Busquets playing further up the pitch. I meant Busquets playing in the Xavi (for Barca) or Guardiola role, being the heart of the team spraying passes all around.
