Held in check on Saturday by Celta Vigo (2-2), Barça plunged into the crisis with both feet. In unfavorable waiver against Real Madrid in the fight for the Liga title, the Catalan workforce tried to ease tensions at the end of the match on Saturday and especially during a meeting organized this Sunday between the players and the members staff.
Setién recognizes frustration
On the eve of receiving Atlético de Madrid this Tuesday (9 p.m.) on the 33rd day of the season, Barça must regain its unity. Problem, nothing seems to go in recent days. Some like Arthur could have the spirit elsewhere at the time of completing a transfer, others like Antoine Griezmann find themselves in the center of attention after disappointing performances.
“We have meetings very often. On Sunday we discussed many topics,” said the 61-year-old technician. “We focus on football and what needs to be improved. There are many times when we are superior, but where we don’t profit with goals. It makes us nervous and a little frustrated. But that’s normal and that can change with a big win. “
Setién: “Normal to have differences”
Frustration rather than tension, according to Quique Setién. However, according to some Catalan media, the future of the coach is already on. “It is true that there is always controversy, still estimated the former Betis without really without worrying. As in life, everyone has their own way of thinking and it is normal to have differences.”
Despite his defense against journalists, the technician seems increasingly challenged internally. Even Lionel Messi does not seem at best and has a complicated relationship with Eder Sarabia, his assistant coach. While Barça is torn apart, Karim Benzema regales and Real Madrid approaches the coronation. Barcelona must win against the Colchoneros so as not to be left behind.
