• Analysis.Bartomeu is locked in the bunker and terminates the contract with the company that discredited its workforce

The coach of FC Barcelona, ​​Quique Setién , has assured that they will face the game this Saturday against Eibar at the Camp Nou (4 pm) "as a final", and, unlike Leo Messi , he was convinced that they have " options to win "and" compete with all teams "in the Champions League .

"There are things that I agree with and others ... I have seen every year how the 'Champions' have won and I think we have the same options to win it. It is true that there is no margin for error and that we have things that We are not happy with everything , but we are growing and reaching the level that will allow us to compete with all teams, "he told a press conference about the words of the Argentine, who said in an interview that" today " "enough to fight for the 'Champions'".

On the other hand, the Barca coach refused to assess the institutional crisis the club is experiencing. "We are very focused on what we have to be, on football issues. We try not to influence the team, and it does not influence. We are aware of winning games, playing well and that our audience enjoys. The rest affects us. little, "he said.

"Of course I take everything the president says for good . The captains have not spoken more about it. It has been parked, it is an issue that does not help us and we leave it aside. The appropriate explanations are already given," he said Josep Maria Bartomeu's meeting with the players, before discussing the controversy between Abidal and Messi. " Differences happen and ideally they can be clarified from you to you, " he said.

On the duel this Saturday, the Cantabrian coach warned of the virtues of the whole of José Luis Mendilibar, who will try to press them "up", something for which they have been looking for "solutions". "We are very aware. We have treated the game as if it were a final , adding three points right now is vital; not only will it allow us to be there, but it will reinforce us for what is coming. Although we think it will be a Easy match, it won't be, "he said.

For all this, these two weeks without games during the week have come "very well." "I already know the requirement, I know that I have to win all the matches and also play well. It is a process in which we can take more or less. We have played well, although we have not won, except in the Copa against Leganés, no match with clarity. We have had the possibility of scoring more goals, and they are generating us less in each game that is happening, although the feeling of danger is high, as in the day of Getafe, but they throw us little at the door, "he said.

All before a week in which they will face the first leg of 'Champions' against Napoli in San Paolo. "I am very excited, but I am a calm and calm person. We have a very strong rival, which is Eibar. First things first, and Eibar and Mendilibar have been doing things well for many years," he said.

"BRAITHWAITE WILL HELP US VERY MUCH"

In another order of things, Setién was satisfied with the incorporation of Danish striker Martin Braithwaite. "Martin is a player we were following , with conditions that will help us a lot. He adapts well to the needs we have. We have a lot of faith and confidence that he will help us a lot. He is not only a good footballer, but that your head works very well, "he explained.

Although he acknowledged that it is "possible" to play against the gunsmith set, perhaps it is "a little premature" to be a starter. " There are concepts that must be explained . He has come with great enthusiasm and we hope he helps us," he said. "Surely you can adapt from playing on end or on the one hand, we will see it. In any of those two positions could help us," he continued.
