It worked with Pique
Sometimes player just need to get benched in order to rethink about his game ,he need to feel that he isn't allowed to do whatever he wants to do and that he will be a starter nevertheless .
Adama looked like he think that this is his team,he is the best player on the squad and was guaranteed promotion next year according to every report ,suddenly he stopped passing the ball and he is dribbling past 4 players whenever he gets the ball .
He need to realize about the consequence of his behavior .sometimes players need to be protected from believing their own hype .that is why I like Eusebio decision
