Rijkaard's mental journey is something that others cannot see or experience, but after walking the mental journey, Rijkaard has woken up.

He knew he had to do something, even if he left Barcelona after this game, he couldn't do nothing at this moment.

Glancing at the bench and looking around at the players on the field, Rijkaard even closed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Change formations!

Although change may not work, but if it does not change, it will die!

"Anderson, go warm up!"

Rijkaard shouted at Deco on the bench.

Deco subconsciously obeyed the instructions and stood up, but his heart was full of doubts.

Even if Barcelona didn't play well, but the game had just started less than 20 minutes, and now they are ready to make substitutions?

Not only Deco has such doubts, but all fans watching this game have a hard time understanding Rijkaard's approach, it seems that the current situation is really not something that can be easily changed by substitution, right?

Three minutes later, a substitution sign was held up on the sidelines.

Milito down, Deco up.

This is already Rijkaard's gamble.

Replacing a centre-back with a back three, and a back three with two full-backs with strong assists, and a core midfielder, Rijkaard is really looking to dominate the midfield with more passing points.

Barcelona's substitution drew numerous exclamations, and even Schuster was stunned by Rijkaard's operation.

If you want to change the way the home game is played, it's just two modes.

One is to strengthen the defense, drag on this game, and adjust the mentality in the next game to fight again;

The second is to fight to the death, directly replace a number of strikers, storm the goal, and live or die here.

But Rijkaard has replaced a controlling midfielder, does he still think that Barcelona does not control the midfield well?

It's not that Barcelona doesn't control the midfield well, it's not a problem with the lineup, it's a problem with the mentality of the players, otherwise, with Barcelona's current midfield configuration, it can actually suppress Real Madrid.

Doesn't Rijkaard see this?

Even Quaresma was a little muttered on the field, always feeling that Rijkaard might be holding back something.

"What did he send you for?"

It just so happened that Deco walked to Quaresma's side, and Quaresma was so familiar with his relationship that he couldn't do it, so he didn't shy away from it, and asked curiously.

Deco couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, we know each other well, but we are now our own masters, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to be so invisible?

"He asked me to defend you!" Deco said angrily to Quares.

Quaresma was stunned again, but looking at Deco's expression, he knew that this thing was joking with himself.

couldn't help but pout, "Even if you're joking, change something I can believe, but you still want to prevent me?" Is it that you're too inflated, or is there something Rijkaard misunderstands about your defense? ”

Deco swears he really wants to fight Quaresma.

Why is this mouth so annoying!

After rolling Quaresma's eyes, Deco turned and walked away, trying to stay away from Quaresma.

However, jokes aside, but the game continued, and with Barcelona's substitutions, the game seemed to have a different direction.

The substitution is a signal, an opportunity for change, and the Barcelona players know this.

The panic mentality of conceding the goal just now made them a little overwhelmed on the field, and now, Deco's arrival seems to be a wake-up signal for them, and they remember that they still have a manager to rely on.

Moreover, compared to the messiness of other players, Deco, who had just come on the field, was extremely calm, and handled the ball very well every time, gradually stabilizing Barcelona's midfield.

Even if Xavi and Iniesta have no opinions, they can still assist under the command of Deco.

Deco's experience is vividly displayed at this time.

Soon, Barcelona was on the right track, as if the omnipotent Barcelona was back.

Originally, Barcelona was good at passing and controlling the ball, and now the midfield has a stable point and a response point, which is a kind of strengthening of ball control, and for a while, Barcelona really controlled the initiative in the midfield.

Quaresma couldn't help but scratch his head, although he was not surprised that Barcelona could control the midfield, but it was very surprising that Deco could still play so well!

If it weren't for Deco's declining form and the rise of Xavi and Iniesta, Deco would not have lost his main position at Barcelona.

However, Deco joined Chelsea after leaving Barcelona, but he still used his outstanding performance to become the core of Chelsea's midfield, the one who really controls the rhythm.

I have to admit that Deco is a good player.

Obviously, in this year's European Championship, Deco will still be the core of Portugal's midfield, and now seeing Deco's excellent form, Quaresma is relieved.

Of course, the current counterattack set off by Barcelona is not too much of a threat in Quaresma's view, after all, he is still on the field.

I will always be the biggest nightmare of opponents on the football field, especially Barcelona, and the nightmare is about to become a series.

Even if Barcelona were in control of the ball, Quaresma would not panic in the slightest, because he did not believe that Barcelona would not go further and threaten Real Madrid's goal.

As long as Barcelona moves, Quaresma can play Barcelona's counterattack, maybe once or twice will not score, but if this continues, Barcelona will not dare to invest in the attack, in that way, the game will return to Real Madrid's favorite rhythm.

Strength is Quaresma's greatest confidence!

If such a game can still make Barcelona turn the tables, then he should really uninstall the system!

How can I say that I am also the chosen son of the system, some games can be lost, but some games really can't be lost!

But now, in the face of the sudden rise of Barcelona, Quaresma suddenly has an urge to level up.

Practice makes perfect, this is an eternal truth, right?

So, is it the same for defense?

I defended Messi well today, maybe for many defensive players, defending Messi is a proposition, but in some ways, I am very similar to Messi, and the flexibility is not inferior to Messi, and there are no natural loopholes in defense.

What's more, his speed and strength are all over Messi, and he doesn't bully him one by one?

It seems like a luxury to practice Messi's defensive skills!

Just thinking about it, Quaresma feels motivated!

So, Quaresma's eyes were a little eager when he looked at Messi!

And Messi felt Quaresma's burning gaze and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart......
