The Setien hours on the Barcelona bench they are numbered. They were before the disaster before Osasuna, but they took for granted that the Cantabrian was going to lead the club Catalan in the assault on the Champions. What to start the next campaign would already be seen.
However, the messi explosion after the game he will shorten the deadlines. To this day, nobody gives a penny for the continuity of the coach who arrived in January to replace Valverde flying the flag of cruyffismo to try to return to the team to its identity style.
He Argentine did not cut after the defeat against Osasuna and shot with a bullet denying the technician. Setién had defended in the previous match that if Madrid won LaLiga would be for their successes. Faced with this, Leo opposed that “the Real Madrid did their thing; after the break so far it has not lost and that has a lot of merit, but we help and a lot for them to take the League with them. We have to do self-criticism, starting with the players. “
Messi too took advantage to close in his favor the controversy that he kept in the media with his coach during the lockdown. Leo assured in an interview that “playing as until now will not give us for the Champions”, to which Setién replied that “after what I have seen these years in football, we can win the Champions, I do not agree with Messi's words. “Well, after the defeat against Osasuna, Messi scored the goal winner by saying that “I said it long time that if we continued like this it would be too hard win the Champions League and has not given not even for win the league. And if we do not react we will not win even Naples “.
Plus. While in Press room the coach insists in convincesr to the press that the team plays well and it has improved, the diagnosis of the star is very different. “We did not want finish the League in this way, but this game marks a little as it was all year. We were an irregular, weak team, they beat us by intensity and they score an easy goal. We lost a lot of points where we shouldn't. “
These words add to those of Luis Suarez this week in two interviews Sports world and Sport in which, contradicting the technician's version, assured that Barça had lost LaLiga (and said it before playing against Osasuna) due to their own mistakes. Suarez was a substitute against the Navarrese.
That gap between Argentine and the technician is sidereal It was also staged at the pre-match coach's Wednesday press conference when Setien argued that one of the Barça's problems could it be that “Messi has not been in some of their rusual recordsAfter the game, after defending his work, he assured that “the self-criticism we must do it all“
All this storm comes plus days after the SER chain Announced that the Argentine communicate to the club that paralyzed the negotiations started to renew his contract that expires on June 30 of next year. ” talks they took directly with the president since the contact with Éric Abidal, the technical secretary, has been totally broken since the french hinted behind the dismissal of Valverde that it had been the players who had brought it about.
With the maximum agent relationships are not better than they soured during the negotiation of the salary cut that the entity asked the footballers because of the coronavirus crisis.
Thus, Bartomeu has had another fire declared. OR reaffirms Setien against the judgment of the players or look for a relay of facing the Champions, which today is the burning nail that desperately clings to.
