Eder Sarabia has become the talk of the week. The fact that Quique Setin apologized for the attitude of his second in the classic, with a series of complaints and words that did not like too much in Bara's locker room, has put him in the eye of the hurricane. At the press conference on Friday, the Barca coach tried to downplay the whole matter, noting that the only thing that was more were the shapes, not the bottom, to set an example and not stain the club image.

And Sarabia, broadly speaking, agreed before starting the game against Real Sociedad, but noting that he does not plan to change his way of being. “My essence is not going to change, to continue living football intensely, but it is true that we have to set an example for children. I'm going to stay the same. I am proud to be as I am, “said the second Barca coach in statements to Movistar TV.

“We will continue like this, working, and on,” Sarabia insisted. With his words, the second on board of Quique Setin wanted to definitively settle one of the last controversies in which the club has been immersed. The directly anterior, the one caused by the social media scandal, unleashed again a shout and shouts of resignation against the president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, but with less intensity than what was experienced during the clash against Eibar, two weeks ago.

The tier of animation, meanwhile, in the initial moments of the game, wanted to show its support for Setin's second by chanting his name.
