Fired by FC Barcelona after only eight months, Quique Setin admits not having been up to it. The Spanish coach did not hide by saying that the management of a star like Lionel Messi is almost impossible.
Messi, the alpha and omega of FC Barcelona according to Setin.
I was not myself. I could not, or I did not know, it is true. A little more than two months after his forced departure from FC Barcelona, where he spent only eight months, Quique Setin has largely confided in his failed visit to Catalonia.
Despite his vision of football and his ambitions, the Spanish coach has never been able to find the right formula in the Blaugrana. In an interview with Vicente Del Bosque, published by El Pais, the ex-player of La Roja notably returned to the management of Lionel Messi (33 years old).
Messi is untouchable
The former coach of Betis Sville admits it without hiding, he did not know how to take his responsibilities with the Argentine striker. It’s hard when someone is used to winning. And when inside he creates a form of anxiety that hurts him when he doesn’t win. The colossal demand that exists in football today influenced him, like many others who need to win permanently , underlined the Iberian technician.
Helpless, Setin readily assures that he was not necessarily cut to wear this much too heavy costume. There are players who are not easy to manage. Among them is Leo, that’s right. You also have to take into account that he is the best player of all time. Who am I to replace him during the match when he has been accepted as he has been there for so many years and has never been replaced? , asked the 62-year-old man.
Setin compare Messi Jordan
While he was never able to set up what he was hired to do, Setin added a layer of it. There is another facet which does not depend on the player and which is more complicated to manage. Much more. Something many athletes have, as the documentary Michael Jordan showed. Messi is very reserved, he doesn’t talk much but he shows you what he wants , said the native of Santander. It is up to Ronald Koeman to try to find a solution from now on.
