FC Barcelona coach Quique Setién admitted on Monday that his players do not always agree with him, but the 61-year-old Spaniard emphasized that his relationship with the group of players is still good.
“It is true that there are clashes with players, but that is normal. Life is like that, we all have our own opinion. I don’t see any major problems,” said Setién on Monday at his press conference for the La Liga game with Atlético Madrid. Tuesday evening.
Barcelona drew 2-2 at Celta de Vigo on Saturday, meaning the reigning champion has lost four points in the five games since the restart of the league. Arch rival Real Madrid won five times and has taken the lead. The Royal has two points ahead with six games to go.
The mediocre results and the often syrupy game cause the media to speculate about unrest at Barcelona. It did not help that during the duel with Celta it could be seen that Lionel Messi ignored instructions from assistant Eder Sarabia during a drinking break.
Luis Suárez also seemed to be criticizing the coaching staff after the game by saying that the trainers should explain why Barça loses a lot of points in away matches.
“I was also not an easy player for a trainer, so I understand completely”, Setién tried to appease the situation. “I think the communication with the players is good. These were some accidental incidents, which I don’t think are so important. If you don’t win, everyone tries to create chaos. That’s the circus we live in.”
