BARCELONA – Quique Setién was hurt by the draw, it bothered him that Barcelona let out a victory against Celta Vigo that, if necessary, he considered would have been “fairer”, understanding that his team lacked “forcefulness” and also , luck. “That shot by Gerard Piqué to the crossbar was incredible … Like after Iago Aspas’ goal.”
“There is less margin for error and we must wait for Real Madrid to make a mistake,” acknowledged the Barça coach, who, however, refused to give the League up for settlement. “We will continue trying to win all the missing matches and waiting …” resolved, in addition to considering positive, but without extending further praise, the role of Ricard Puig.
These were Setien’s most outstanding phrases at the press conference:
THE MATCH
“We have lacked the ability to manage the ball. They have gone ahead, we wanted to keep that goal advantage and we have done things that we do not normally do. We must give credit to the opponent because he has a lot of quality, very decisive players and they have risked a lot “
“We have done things very well, we have been much superior and we had to go to the break with much more advantage.”
“We lack forcefulness to transform the game we make into goals. The superiority we have had in a good part of the game has been enough to face the game with more ease. Getting it right sometimes is not easy.”
“Celta is in that dynamic, that positive bird, that everything is going to face you. It is costing us and weighing us down because it takes away confidence and generates nervousness. They are football situations that must be accepted seeking improvement.”
“There are rivals, like Celta, who have very good players and it is difficult to win. We would like to be more solid and we always seek to win, play on the opposite field and that gives the rival options.”
“Sometimes that point of lucidity is missing. Piqué’s shot at the post seems incredible … And his equalizing goal comes because a player jumps out of the barrier … We have done many things well and the game should have been much more comfortable for U.S”.
THE LEAGUE
“11 days ago we had two points of advantage and the reality is that there is less and less margin for error, thinking that you have to win everything and wait for the rival’s error.”
“We will continue to seek to win all the points we lack and hope to have more solvency on the field.”
“You must have a regularity inside and outside. At home we are solid and outside there are things that we have to improve. We have to relate everything to this. We are a team that we are going to hit and the rival team is also going to create problems for you.”
“This that has happened to us can also happen to Madrid. There are only six games left but everything can happen. We will be fighting until the end and we will try to add up all the remaining points.”
OWN NAMES
“Antoine Griezmann? I don’t see if the transfers are expensive or cheap. Last week we opted for one lineup and now for another. Last week you asked me why Riqui and Ansu Fati don’t play and now why Griezmann doesn’t play. They are not decisions capricious, they are looking for the best for the team. “
“I do not compare Riqui with Arthur. They are two different players who contribute different things. And there are more players who were not, injured or penalized … It is not easy to decide and the important thing for any player is to do it well, it is their best guarantee for have continuity. “
