Setién: “I feel empowered, self-criticism must be from everyone”

The most frustrating thing is not being able to win the game?

Defeat is absolutely unfair. We are frustrated. We have earned points that we should have earned. I did not expect Madrid to win every game. It has been a carbon copy of other games in which we had a hard time finding the way to the goal. We put them in their area and we had a hard time controlling the cons and getting it right.

After Messi's words, do you think he will be the coach in the Champions League?

Hope so. I agree with him on some things. You have to do self-criticism. They will cost us a lot of things including the Champions League, but we have improved a lot of things. It all comes down to success. Two clubs, we have canceled two goals …

Do you share that you will lose to Naples as Messi said?

We have thrown ten corners and if we put one we win. You have to be demanding and there are things to improve. We have done things well but it would not burn everything. Rest days will come and the team will arrive clean to face the new tournament with optimism.

Will Vitoria take those of the subsidiary?

It's not going to be possible. We have few players. There are also sanctioned. We would not have to make the call.

Do you feel empowered to change the direction of the team?

I am empowered, but self-criticism must come from everyone. Surely we will be a different team. We will face that championship with the maximum guarantees.

What is reproached?

There are things that we could not improve and we did not succeed. In others, yes. In controlling the cons we have failed.

Is LaLiga a merit of Madrid or a demerit of yours?

Madrid has a lot of merit. We deserved many more points. We did not have the fortune of when you win something that is what our rival had. There is no need to apologize.

Do you think like Messi that the team was irregular and weak?

I do not enter evaluations. I am happy in many things, but it has not given us to win some games or the title. It could not be. This is sport.


Get down

Jagoba Arrasate, coach of Osasuna, praised the “great match” made by his team at the Camp Nou, where he won 1-2 and commented that without these great benefits it would be “impossible to win” in a scenario like this.

“We had a very clear plan and we have done it without complexes. We had to defend, because they have the ball and we had to cover inside. I think we have been very well organized, especially in the first half”, said.

He commented that the idea of ​​his team was to harm Barça “in every transition”, as has happened. “I have seen the team with confidence, they have believed in that plan. It is true that in the second half, the opponent also plays, he subdues you. We were in a lower block and it was difficult to leave as in the first half,” he added.

“Then playing with ten we have done what we could. The team works a lot, has faith and today apart from being released, he played a great game, because if it is not impossible to win here”, Arrasate added.

The Osasuna coach has been pleased because his team has added 51 points and has equaled his third best record ever in LaLiga. “If we win we can advance one more place, let's see if we end up with a victory”, argument.
