Liga Santander: Setin's short staff: “I'd rather work with fewer people” | LaLiga Santander 2019

The coach of FC Barcelona, ​​Quique Setin, has assured this Saturday that he prefers “work with less people“in its staff because in such a way it has” everyone plugged in “, downplaying the fact that its board has not hired a replacement for the injured Luis Surez in the winter transfer market.

“What hurts me most now, and it has always hurt when I played, is to make the calls and leave people out. I prefer to work with fewer people because this way you have everyone plugged in,” said Setin at a conference press, on the eve that Bara faces Levante for the 22nd day of LaLiga Santander.

“It's true that sometimes you take risks, but other times it's very good to have people motivated. Having 20 players, really, sometimes it's better than having 25 and having five that don't play. This makes you more harm than the risk of having a shorter workforce may mean, “he reiterated after analyzing his adversary 'granota'.

“It is always better to know what the opponent is going to do because you can be more prepared. It is true that we will surely already have our plan clear and will not influence us in what we do, but we must always take into account the rival, that is Of course, it doesn't come from a good run, it comes to a field like ours and to a team that I understand is fine, “he argued.

“The other day we played a good game, although there are always things to improve. We will try to put our team and our players in real situation. Recent experience with this team is not good, it is a very uncomfortable team that can harm you. Sometimes, when things go well, they go very well. It is a team to consider, has potential and arrives with many people. If they are inspired, it will not be easy, of course, “he warned.

On the other hand, he has praised the recovery of the French striker Ousmane Dembl and the support of the lower categories. “Now we have fewer players, but I repeat again that there is a subsidiary team behind and that these kids are prepared. Today some players who have not come have come to train and are sure to help us if necessary,” he told the respect.

“It seems that the template may be weaker, but this is never known. The reality is sometimes different. Giving conjecture or hypothesis about what might happen is wear that is not worth it. We are going to make an extraordinary signing with Ousmane, who is training very well and that is sure to help us a lot, this is a huge incentive for all, “he stressed.

About the long-term signing of Francisco Trincao, the coach who has been blunt. “It is an operation that I found when I arrived, which already had the club working on it and it seems fine. It's a bet of the club, it's a decision you've made and I don't have much to say about this. Next year we will have him and work with him, of course, “he said.

Meanwhile, he has not been obsessed with the data of possession of the ball. “They don't really tell me much, except the importance of the fact that you control the game more this way. Having the ball prevents the opponent from hurting you and scoring you. If you have the ball 80 minutes, the chances that they hurt you are sometimes minor, having non-transcendent possessions I don't like either, “he admitted.

“I like that everything makes sense, especially at the time that many of those passes are always forward. But sometimes you have to play back to raise the ball to the ortho side. Above all, because you defend yourself with the ball, that's why the passes are important. If, on top of not giving passes, you lose or score goals … well, it is still much worse, “he said.
