The 26-year-old said the Spain international – whose team face Russia in the round of 16 – was the world's best defensive midfielder."There are not many players that I can choose from in my position but if I had to pick one then it would be Busquets," Casemiro told a news conference Friday. "He is the best in the world and I have a lot of admiration for him, he has a lot of quality."[France duo N'Golo] Kante and [Paul] Pogba are also very strong."Should Casemiro and Busquets face off in Russia it would be in the final, with the Brazilian possibly having to go through Kante, Pogba and France in the semi-finals to get there.</blockquote>
