Quique Setién continues without believing too much what he has to live since Barcelona decided to fire Ernesto Valverde . "The reality is that this has been an absolutely unexpected gift for me ... It is not easy to assimilate. Every morning when I wake up I tell myself ... I will train these players again. You cannot be in a better place. " The new coach of Barcelona , which does not fit in joy, will debut this Sunday against Granada. Yes, precisely the rival against whom his admired Johan Cruyff premiered as a Barca player. The time will come for the Cantabrian coach to start shaping his particular ideology in a first level team and that he marches first in the league championship.

There may not be a press conference in which Setién does not have to use one of his mantras. Although, being his first appearance before a game, he tried to make clear the basis of his thinking: " I always prefer to win. That we will understand well . But I will never tell the players that the result only suits me. We are all ready to understand that if you play well, you have a better chance of winning. "

There was no way for Setién to advance his tactical plans or in terms of player preferences. At the most, he warned that the time of chaos is over. " We attach great importance to order. Not only Arturo Vidal , some more tend to lose position." And to try to keep your wardrobe connected, the routine has changed and will not offer calls until the day of the game.

What he has believed to intuit the Cantabrian is that his figure, for now, has been well received in the fans. "From what the club people tell me, the press people seem to have liked me. I still have 700 unanswered messages . I'm sorry, but I don't give up for everything. And I don't want to be distracted. The important thing is work." .

Questioned by the pressure of the elite clubs, especially to which the coach of a club such as Barcelona are subjected, Setién said he understood and assumed it: "The requirement is not imposed by the club, I impose it on myself. I am not a conformist person. I will try, of course, to isolate myself from many things to avoid getting out of my way and suffer from wear and tear that will not help me at all. I won't be aware of this. Just work and that I can go home satisfied after the games. "
