Quique Setién is clear: "If I have to go and Xavi comes..."

Quique Setién arrived to the FC Barcelona the past month of January to relieve to Ernesto Valverde, that already was on a tightrope from did time. The Cantabrian assumed the challenge to train to the team culé with illusion and signing an agreement until 2022, although in 2021 there will be the option to terminate in front of the change of directive that avecina with the new elections.

About this and of a lot of more subjects spoke in an interview for 'The Crossbar' of the Chain BE, analysing even the hypothetical arrival of Xavi Hernández: "Ojalá Xavi avenges to train to the Barça some day, knows the club and is normal that want to come and train to his team. It is truth that, afterwards, the difference between playing and train in a team is not the same. If I have to go me so that it avenges he as it does not happen at all, already know how works this profession".

The santanderino answered also about the dynamics of game of the Barça. "There have been moments in that we have played very well, but has been missing us continuity and win some parties in that we have suffered. But I am quite satisfied of the route, there has been growth", said, adding that "when it played against the Barcelona of Cruyff happened you running 80 minutes and said, this is what I want to".

"If this finish, the logical is that the Barça was champion"

It did not cut to the hour to answer about if it would like him that it went back Neymar. "They like me all the big footballers, how do not go me to like? And Neymar is one of them. But as they are the things, it is necessary to pose what is possible and what is not possible. We know that these footballers cost a lot of money and that is not easy to bring them", affirmed, saying the same on Lautaro Martínez.

On Philippe Coutinho, left clear again that it is a footballer by which feels admiration and with which would be loved to be able to to explain the season that comes. "Always it has liked me and to who does not like him. It is a grandísimo footballer. We do not know what goes to do the Bayern if it goes to remain with him or no", said about the Brazilian midfield player.

It spoke also on his relation with Bartomeu: "I Expect that it finish his mandate. Have a big relation with him, speak a lot often. It has given us explanations to me, to the players... We believe him", it commented, adding, on the last controversies that "in the first conversations that were supported by the captains of the discount salarial remained clear that went us to go down the wage. The only that bothered is that all made public ".

Also it did reference to Riqui Puig. "It has not decided . It is a big footballer but needs his time. Today it came a cover in a newspaper demanding that it was an extraordinary player. And it is it. But with a lot of players are conditioning them. Because as it do not fulfil the expectations, can be a serious problem. I am not doubtful in what put to youngsters. And if I see to one that is better, will put it although it generate me a problem in the changing room. And I have done it in Seville. I am not doubtful in this neither have fear", explained.

The current situation

Setién Commented the current situation, in which there is not football by the coronavirus. "A thing is what would like me and another the reality. It would like me go back what before to avoid the greater possible damage to the football, but the reality is is that we are living a grave subject and that, if we go to go back, was with all the guarantees. That we do not go to go back to stop and this goes to be complicated until it do not appear the vaccine", said.

The santanderino ensured that the logic invites to think that, if it suspends the championship of First Division, the Barça would have to proclaim champion. "Obviously, it would be the logical. But it could be another team. It would not like me be champion of this way. It will be a championship that do not go it to celebrate of this way", left to fall.
