The next Sergio Busquets might be the son of a Real Madrid legend

Federico Redondo, son of Fernando, impressed for Argentina at the U20 World Cup

Federico Redondo was one of the best players at this summer’s Under-20 World Cup, although not many noticed. He didn’t catch the eye. That’s not what he does.

In fact, the less you notice Redondo, the better, generally. It was the same for Sergio Busquets, the player many have compared the young Argentine midfielder to.

“You watch the game, you don’t see him. You watch him, you see the whole game,” Vicente del Bosque once famously said about Busquets and similar has been said about Redondo.

Fernando Redondo also played at the base of the midfield and Redondo Jnr has clearly learned a lot from his father.

Argentina won the World Cup only six months ago, but their next generation is already starting to emerge. The performances of some of their players at the U20 World Cup highlighted this with Redondo ready to take the next step in his development.

Where, however, will that step take him?
