Juni Calafat is a God!Btw Madrid must have incredible scouts in Brazil. They've got some great deals from there

Rijkaard wasn't ... though probably could have, guy was a god.Weren't they more box-to-box?
This by a country mile!I'd probably have Redondo and Makelele ahead of him, and that's just for Real.
I'd have Dunga, but it's close.Mauro Silva, is still the best Brazilian holding midfielder I’ve seen.
That made me think about op again.Matthaus, Rijkaard, Neeskens, Paulo Falcao, Redondo, Dunga, Deschamps, Makalele, Clodoaldo.
Take your pick.
You're going by CL wins aren't you? I get it now.he definately is.
Would agree with this. Defensively impeccable and had a great understated short game on the ball. They’ve had a few fine ones over the years - Zito, Clodoaldo, Mauro, Dunga, Fernandinho. All tidy on the ball and solid and astute off it. No problem putting Casemiro in that group but I don’t think he stands ahead.Not even close, excellent player but playing with Kroos and Modric is easy.

Nah not even the most successful playing in Spain right nowMost successful? Yeah maybe.
It's a Brazilian midfielder thing. Fabinho, Lucas Leiva, Fernandinho. They are all at it.And before you say "oh it's a real madrid thing" it's really not. Any other of our players usually do get a red card when they do any of the things he does constantly
Quite a hot take this.A lot of shouts for Busquets. He is nowhere near Casemiro, who is also quite far off Makelele.
Busquets was always the weakest link in the Barça team; in the successful era there wasn’t a lot of holding to do, and the opposing team had a fair amount of joy on their rare attacks.
Barça played a lot of possession football, and Busquets passing was usually short, either back to Pique / Puyol, or sideways to Iniesta / Xavi, who did the transitional passes forward.
In the less successful teams, he’s looked out of sorts and still not close to being mentioned in the best players in the team.
This is not to say he was (or is) bad, and he played an important role in their success, but he should not be mentioned in conversations about the best DMs in the world. Very lucky to have been where he was.
Fred didn't get the memoIt's a Brazilian midfielder thing. Fabinho, Lucas Leiva, Fernandinho. They are all at it.
That seems a bit harsh on the other handHe's good but not even close to being top 10 let alone being the best ever
