Barca defend as a team by limiting the space between two farthest players about 10m. That's why they use Busquet as DM, sell Y. Toure and play Mascherano as CB. Teamwork or more exactly, (Barca style) tactical discipline is required.
So in Keita:
Professionalism, discipline, teamwork - great
Passing, shooting, tackling - OK to good
Stamina - OK (he is 32 now)
He can be a good CM for his overall ability but he can't defend well enough to play CDM, not creative enough for playmaker, not enough stamina for box to box and not very dangerous in opposite field.
