Barça, a dispute between Setien and the senators. Also because of Arthur

After the 2-2 against Celta Vigo, a heated confrontation in the locker room: Suarez hard, poorly digested the choice to sell the Brazilian to Juve. Meanwhile Messi shows indifference …

Tension to the stars in the Blaugrana house. This is what transpires from the revelations of Marca and Mundo Deportivo, which speak of a fracture in the relations between the technician Setién and the hard core of the locker room, starting from Suarez and Messi. Saturday’s draw-mockery (2-2 against Celta Vigo) not only risks compromising the Blaugrana aspirations in the championship, with a Real Madrid escaping to +2 when there are six days left at the end of the Liga (and with the advantage of the clashes direct). According to the rumors of the Spanish press, the misstep against Celta could have marked a definitive point of no return in the troubled relationship between players and technical staff, who at the end of the game would have had a heated confrontation.

Strong accusations

The words of Suarez immediately after the final whistle have revealed all the disagreements that evidently have been harboring for some time in the Blaugrana rooms. “Too many points lost away (only 23 points collected out of the 48 available, ed)? The coach is used to analyze and resolve certain types of situations, “thundered the Pistolero pointing his finger at Setién’s choices and decisions. Once in the locker room, the climate would have further heated up resulting in a heated discussion between the technician and the “senators”: the knot of the dispute, reports the newspapers, Setién’s schemes and the changes made in the nefarious 90 ‘of Vigo, from the choice of bring Braithwaite in at 68 ‘and replace Suarez in the final until Arthur’s late entry, inside only at 86’. It also seems that the decision to sell the Brazilian to Juve (he has already made medical visits to Turin) has been decidedly badly digested by the group, which has not hidden all its grievances. In the changing rooms big words would have flown and the leaders of the group would have made their voices heard against a single manager: the technician Setién.

What is Messi doing?

The analysis and revelations of Marca go further, adding another detail captured by the cameras during the cooling break of Vigo’s challenge: a video clearly shows Messi’s indifference towards Setién’s deputy, Eder Sarabia, who would have tried in vain to issue orders to the Flea. The Argentine seemed brazenly to ignore Setién’s assistant as he headed towards him before seeing his back turned not once but twice. All under the frowning gaze of Setién. The rift would therefore seem incurable and perhaps not a coincidence that today Sport has overwhelmingly re-launched the candidacy of Xavi, who has reaffirmed the “dream” of sitting on the Blaugrana bench. “My technical staff and I are getting ready to train Barça. It’s my biggest wish, “said the former midfielder just 24 hours after the controversial draw in Vigo. Xavi wants to start from scratch, with a project of his own in which he has the power to decide without conditioning, this has already mentioned clearly at the beginning of the year when the management chose the replacement for Valverde. Then Setién emerged, but now the turbulent situation in the Catalan locker room could pave the way for the Blaugrana icon.
