MADRID, 25 Jan. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The coach of FC Barcelona, Quique Setién, recognized a bad first half this Saturday against Valencia and pointed out the importance of certain positions on the grass that he needs to polish in his players, to achieve the improvement of the second part even if they failed to avoid defeat (2-0) in Mestalla.
“The only thing we are valuing is the position of some players and the understanding they have to have of what we want. It is true that one thing is that they understand it on the board and another thing is when you move it to the field, things are different. More when Valencia does very well, “he told a press conference after the 21st day of LaLiga Santander.
The coach culé, in his second league match, said he expects players to apply as in the second half. “It has a lot of merit but we have also helped them, because we have not found the right place. We have corrected things in the second part and we have gone back to Valencia, we have immediately noticed the position of some players how it has changed and this has given us helped because you gain space, “he said.
“There has been some against in the second half but we have already taken 70 meters away from us and most of the actions have recovered well,” he added, highlighting that improvement even if the two goals were local in the second half.
Setién also valued the placement in defense. “There is an important part of the work that is to have an impact on being well placed and doing good vigilance. Valencia is also a great team that has left us three or four times the pressure very well and with players that are dangerous with space. We work and we talk about it and it's an important part that we have to improve, “he said.
In addition, the Barca coach did not want to talk about the transfer market or the possible interest in the forward of Valencia Rodrigo himself. “I already said about the market in the previous ones and several times that I was not going to speak it is not a matter to speak publicly,” he said.
“The only thing I have talked about Rodrigo is that he is an extraordinary footballer and that he preferred that he was not in the field because of his danger. The rest, some brown has to hide the whole world, but I have nothing to say,” he finished.
