Chapter 545: Barcelona's Changes

By the time Real Madrid's buses pulled into the Camp Nou, it was already full, and even in off-pitch areas, you could hear the deafening singing.

Speaking of which, although the Catalan region belongs to Spain, it has Catalonia, which has a completely different Spanish, is very different in terms of culture.

It's no wonder they want to be independent every year!

At least for now, Quaresma doesn't quite understand what these fans are singing!

Of course, it's nothing more than refueling or something, so it's not like you're scolding yourself, right?

Thinking of this, Quaresma couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

And this expression of Quaresma and his smile for no reason can't help but be a little creepy in the eyes of his teammates.

It's a cruel smile, it's a sick smile!

They can't help but feel sorry for Barcelona!

What kind of existence is Barcelona provoking!

In the dressing room, Real Madrid fans were still talking and laughing, and even if it was just a crucial matchup, they didn't seem to feel too much pressure.

That's the confidence they've built up this season.

Quaresma was no longer the slightest bit out of the ordinary, as if the opponent he was about to face was nothing more than an ordinary opponent in La Liga, and not that particular Barca.

And until the Real Madrid player met the opposite Barcelona player in the player tunnel, Quaresma still bought clothes with a light and cynical expression, as if he really didn't take the opponent to heart at all.

However, what they didn't know was that Quaresma was looking at Barcelona's starting lineup thoughtfully.

The season has reached the final sprint, and Barcelona's main squad has undergone certain changes compared to the beginning of the season.

First of all, there has been a change in the core of the team's midfield.

Previously, it was more often the Portuguese midfielder Deco who was in control, but as the season progressed, Xavi, who became more and more mature, slowly completed the snatching of power and was established as the real core of Barcelona's midfield.

This is an inevitable change!

Xavigen's creativity in the midfield is also unparalleled, and the maturity of the overall situation has allowed him to truly grasp the core of Barcelona's passing control.

As Deco gets older, his confrontation and athleticism are gradually declining, and it is inevitable to give up the core position.

For Quaresma, Barcelona has two major midfielders, one starting and the other can only play as a substitute, which is really a bit of a tragedy.

You know, if Deco comes to Real Madrid, he will definitely be the core few players, and in Real Madrid's current squad, the midfield is always the weakest link.

It's just that I'm afraid Florentino can't quite look at Deco, after all, Deco is not a superstar, he doesn't have much commercial value, and he doesn't have more potential to tap at his age.

In addition to the position of Deco, there have also been certain changes in the forward line.

At the beginning of the season, the player who partnered Samuel Eto'o and Messi was Bojan, the little prince, who was seen by all as having the same potential as Messi.

However, Bojan's growth has not been satisfactory, and for the sake of results, Rijkaard will now play more of veteran Gudjohnsen.

In important matches, the experience and on-pitch awareness of the veterans are not comparable to the youngsters.

As for the rest of the position, there is not much change from the first leg of the La Liga meeting between the two sides.

The midfield is a combination of Yaya Toure, Andres Iniesta and Xavi, a combination that can compete with Arsenal for the best midfield in the world.

However, it is no wonder that Yaya Toure later clamored to leave Barca, and with Xavi and Iniesta alongside, even if he has more comprehensive ability, he can only act as a defender.

Well, it can only be said that Yaya Toure and Barcelona are not born to call, otherwise he would be the best all-round midfielder wherever he goes.

If nothing else, Riaya Toure will frequently assist Barca's defenders to defend Quaresma, after all, neither Iniesta nor Xavi are known for their defensive skills, and they also need to focus more on attack.

Quaresma is a big admirer of Toure and enjoys working with the versatile midfielder.

It's like in the Arsenal period, the midfield had a Ballack who could go up and down, and many times Quaresma could find a stable spot, and Ballack would also take on part of Quaresma's defense.

It's just that after coming to Real Madrid, Quaresma didn't have such treatment, and Real Madrid didn't have a midfielder with the ability of Ballack or Toure.

It is undeniable that if you cut yourself out, then Barcelona's starting lineup is definitely stronger than Real Madrid's starting lineup on paper.

But what makes a superstar a superstar is a person who has the ability to change the game, and Quaresma is undoubtedly the best of them.

……

Under the leadership of the referee, the two teams walked into the stadium, and the Barcelona fans in the stands also cheered, stirring up the atmosphere at home.

This time, Quaresma really heard some extreme Barça fans insulting him.

It's just that he doesn't take these scoldings too seriously, after all, he has long been used to it, and for any team, Quaresma is definitely the least welcome player at home.

After a while, a few more Barcelona will be filled, and these fans will keep their mouths shut.

It's the same every time!

After the pre-match ceremony, Quaresma stood in the center circle, looked back at his teammates behind him, and then at the opponent in the opposite half, and the fighting spirit slowly grew, and finally exploded.

He's going to destroy!

He will be destroyed!

No one can stop you!

……

A whistle sounded, just like the peak showdown between Real Madrid and Barcelona officially kicked off.

Facing Barcelona who kicked off first, Quaresma rushed forward like a wild horse that had escaped the leash.

Without considering fitness, his rush doesn't have much tactical value, but it's still a deterrent.

At least, even Iniesta, who has the ability to get rid of the spot, did not dare to be careless in the face of Quaresma, but directly transmitted the ball to his teammates.

And with Quaresma's sprint, Real Madrid's high pressing also quickly took shape, pressing Barcelona all the way to pass the ball back to the back line.

In desperation, Puyol played a long ball into the front, although this is not a tactic that Barcelona are used to, but in order to avoid the danger of losing the ball at the back, he can only do so.

Samuel Eto'o and Sergio Ramos battled physically to control the ball's destination, but the Cheetah lost to Ramos this time.

got the ball, Ramos didn't stick to the ball too much, and directly distributed the ball to Guti, who retreated to receive it.

After the Real Madrid team stopped the ball and turned around, he had already noticed Quaresma's running, and directly hit a long pass to Barcelona's half, where Quaresma had already sprinted like the wind!
