Barça players no longer trust Quique Se …

Last January, the FC Barcelona announced the removal of Ernesto Valverde. According to various sectors of the press, from the club’s board it was considered that the change should have been made in the summer, but the players allegedly advocated for the Txingurri to stay. Finally, after the elimination in the Spain Supercup, the Txingurri was stopped to make way for the arrival of Quique Setién to the bench.

The challenge that the Cantabrian had ahead was enormous, since he had to assume the reins of a powerful team, with the requirement of winning titles and without time to prepare everything through a preseason. Setién joined the team showing his personality and, from the beginning, implemented a different scheme than his predecessors it was based on a line of three central defenders, long lanes and two attackers.

With that tactical drawing, Setién had managed to adapt his ideas to the Real Betis and for this reason he also tried to use it at FC Barcelona with the aim of recovering that game of possession and position that the team had lost after losses such as those of Xavi Hernandez The Andres Iniesta. Unfortunately, Santander’s idea did not get good results, so he finally had to go back to rectify and bet again on the classic 4-3-3.

A few months after his arrival, it seems that FC Barcelona has not managed to positively modify any aspect of their game. In fact, the Catalans were leaders at the break, but the return to competition after the pandemic is being disastrous. The culés gave half League clicking against Sevilla and maybe they gave away the other half with the tie this Saturday in Sweep.

According to information published by the Marca newspaper, Barça’s first team players have completely lost confidence in Setién. The Santanderian has not known how to rectify the situation despite having three months to prepare new concepts and an important part of the dressing room would be dissatisfied both by Setien’s way of directing and by the lack of rhythm in training.

The players, supposedly unhappy

This means of communication ensures that many footballers from Barcelona ignore Setién when he speaks to them, so the Cantabrian usually delegates to his second, Eder Sarabia, orders to the team. In fact, even Luis Suárez threw a thumb at him assuring that “it is the coaches who must analyze” after the tie in Balaídos. In fact, Bartomeu would be aware of the distance between the coach and the squad, so there could be surprises at the end of the season.
