Barcelona won every competition that they entered in 2009, and Sergio Busquets has revealed some of the secrets behind that success.

Speaking to Sport, Busquets elaborated on Guardiola's methods, saying, "Working with him is very easy."

"It is clear that he enjoys what he does, and preparing you for games. In ten minutes, he tells you everything you need to know.

"In 50 pictures, he shows you the strategy of the opponent."

Busquets then went on to pay tribute to the coaching staff in general, continuing, "The whole team is fantastic."

"We are more professional every day. The first team works very hard.

"The technical staff spare no details in preparing us for games."

The Barca midfielder has only been playing senior football since the beginning of last season, and he spoke of the changes it has made to his life, stating, "I do not have a very peaceful life."

"At times, I lack privacy. I don't have as much time to be with my family."

Finally, Busquets spoke about the harmony within the group, highlighting Lionel Messi, saying, "We are lucky to be a group that get along very well, which is noticeable from the outside."

"Messi is a star in every sense. He is not as timid as he seems.

"With us, he is very confident. He regards himself as just another one of us.


"If he has to pick up a bag of balls, he will do it.

"He is very grounded."
