Quique Setién stopped smiling at his press appearances too long ago. Either because now he has to watch journalists through a monitor, or because he knows he is increasingly discussed. Real Madrid will be the league champion this Thursday as long as they equal the result of Barcelona against Osasuna in their duel against Villarreal. And Setien is not a day when he is not reminded that when his predecessor in office, Ernesto Valverde, was fired last January, the Barça team was still leading the championship . The Cantabrian technician, then, stirred. And it is reaffirmed. And he fights against what he understands as a debate typical of resultadism.
"I feel that I have not done things so badly for having tied three games," Setien claimed. The loss of those six points against Sevilla, Celta and Atlético contrasts with Real Madrid's nine consecutive wins since the competition resumed. "It would give more credit to the rival, who has won everything. That is difficult," insisted the coach, who is far from trying to bear all the blame if the League ends up slipping away from the Camp Nou: "Obviously I take my share of responsibility. But not all. I am just another part . "
Hence Setien insists on showing no doubts about its continuity. When asked about the low conviction with which the president of Barcelona, Josep Maria Bartomeu, spoke last week of his tenure in office after the Champions ["our will is to fulfill contracts", the president had said in whispers ], the Barcelona coach looked ahead: "Of course I see myself training for Barça next season."
And Setién explained: "It is true that this that I am living I have already lived. Sometimes, the pretensions that you have are not reached. But behind there is a work done that must be valued, not only the result . It is what I would like to be valued, if the work is really well done, if we could have achieved more, or if we have achieved more than some thought ".
