Quique Setién spoke this Friday in the Celta-Barça League preview that will take place this Saturday (5:00 p.m.). He did it at a telematic press conference. These were his opinions.
Advance
Celtic: “All the teams would like to defend very well, accumulating a lot of people, which is how it is best done and then when they have the ball, attack well. And that's what I suppose Celta will try to do. Being consistent and solid in defense and also in attack is a very talented team with players who know what to do with the ball, who have that inspiration that makes them different. There are players that we all know that are very smart and that can complicate us. It is going to be a difficult game and I hope to get ahead but with difficulties. ”
Do you see Arthur ready? “In principle, I still count on him, he is a player that we are going to need, who are important. At first he will do the training and then he will travel and with possibilities to play. It is what it is. You have to try that all this noise does not affect you and that in case you have to go out to play you try to give the best of yourself ”.
Are you worried that until the end of the season the player signs with Juve and is focused on the team? “This that is happening is abnormal. The reality is that I suppose that any player who is in a situation like this has to be clear that the season is not over, that there are still very important games and he, like the rest, surely wants to end well if that is the case, win a title and leave a good memory until the last day. I understand that the circumstances we have lived through have led us to this path, but I understand that the professionalism and honesty of all the players will last until the last day. ”
Is there too much talk about arbitration and VAR? Do you focus too much on the referees or do you feel that you are justified? “Since I started playing and later as a coach it has always been the same. I don't know if it's too much or too little. I stay on the sidelines. You have your opinion on all the situations that can occur and what you see, but this is inherent in football. And it will continue to be ”.
Are you still convinced that Madrid is going to play? “Of course I am still convinced. That there are still 7 games to play and it is very difficult for all of us to win. We have tied, they have not yet but this is a game that sometimes surprises us. It is true that they are in a good moment, just as we are, but everything can happen. And I trust that at some point they are wrong. ”
