Setién's assistant: “He does nothing to do …”

The Quique Setién-Eder Sarabia duo directed their first Classic last Sunday. The result did not favor his interests and Barcelona left the leadership at the Bernabéu. It is not the first couple – first and second coach – that contrasts in terms of their procedure in the technical area. You often see duos formed by a restrained personality accompanied by a more volcanic one, as if it were necessary to balance forces or play that good cop bad cop. In the case of the current bench of Barcelona that maximum is met and Eder Sarabia, the second of Setién, expressed himself fully during the Classic.

Movistar's cameras captured Sarabia's activity, frantic and, at times, irritated, almost angry. The first moment that rescues the video of Vamos seems that it points to an error in own field, in the exit of ball, in which Setién asks head of form vehemently. From behind, a Sarabia sitting on the bench addresses another assistant in a more fiery way, with fuss, to sentence: “It is not a pass to Busi, it is a pass to the interiors! There!” Afterwards, the second coach laments Griezmann's mistake, which he receives and finishes high on one of the best chances of the first half: “Gol, put it on Antoine (Griezmann), I shit on my fucking mother.” Setién fitted the error by frowning and turning to the bench. “Soft, soft!” Sarabia continued to lament over the Frenchman's mistake. The next step was to ask for more specificity in the face of goal, Setién's second coach watched as his team arrived, but did not prove Courtois due. “But throw a goal! I shit on God! ”, They capture Movistar's cameras from the technician's lips.

Then, the thing warms up and Sarabia, with an impassive Setien, turns to another assistant in a wrathful way: “He does nothing to do …!” The complaints go to a specific player who did not read the game in the way that the coaches of Barcelona had prepared. “He suddenly starts playing and throwing, when he has to play the ball! Pussy! ”Eder Sarabia shouts angrily, waving his arms to refer to the movement of the ball. The video of Vamos continues with a moment in which Setién and Sarabia exchange opinions. The assistant exposes him, this time in a more leisurely way, that the team is standing too long, with the defense very involved in its area and Real Madrid is taking advantage of it. “We cannot have the defensive line so far behind, because they stretch us and then Benzema comes, receives and creates much superiority. We have to reduce space much more, ”Sarabia warns with a receptive Setien. The first coach of Barcelona wanted to put hot cloths at the end of the game, calling to see the glass half full: “Our party was in the first part and we did things quite well and we generated chances, even with one before they scored, we have the ability to recover. There are positive things to rescue and we will analyze what we have not done well.”

Setién-Sarabia, a contrasting duo.

Eder Sarabia has been with Setién since his time in Las Palmas. It has always been characterized by an agitated behavior in the technical area, something that has caused the occasional suspension, often by some crossing with the referees. He has always declared himself a Messi fan, whom he now has at his command. His aspirations, publicly recognized, were those of, along with Setién, reaching a place like the one they now occupy to develop their idea of ​​football. At the moment, its Barcelona is irregular and the Classic has not served to set the course. The volcanic personality of the son of Manu Sarabia, an international former leader, in the Barcelona band contrasts even more with the previous tenant in mind. Neither Valverde nor his team were so expressive. It remains to be seen how the costumes of Barcelona will take that Sarabia proceeding on the bench.
