Sergio Busquets

Every manager is different in one way or another, but what stays the same is coaching Barcelona players - players who want the ball, who want to be protagonists on the field - so each manager who's been here has been able to take advantage of that, and, luckily, I feel we've become more complete because of it.

I prefer the feeling of helping the team rather than shining above it.

It's an honour to be able to wear the No.5 jersey and that Carles Puyol thought of me to inherit it.

There has to be everything, but above all respect. Sometimes you cross the barrier of respect for many things - because you do not want to let the rival be, for being the eternal rival.

When you're young it's boring to be a keeper.

If it was up to me, I'd get rid of Twitter to stop the fake profiles and people saying and doing what they want.

I play the way I am as a person. I don't panic, I'm patient.

On a tactical level the defensive midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation is just about the most demanding position there is.

I feel proud of everything I've been through.

I love my role, I love the job I do.

Truth to be told, yes, it does feel very strange to be in the Spain setup without Xavi. Ever since I broke through for Barca and Spain he's always been around. We've always had a great relationship and he's always set an example in every way, when it comes to camaraderie, how much help he's given me and, above all, in footballing terms.

My team-mates appreciate that I do the dirty work and I know it is necessary.
