Quique Setién is having a long post-classic week . A defeat against Madrid is not easily digested for the Barcelona coach, but if it is also accompanied by a few days without competition and, in case something was missing, a controversy with his second, the question becomes eternal. The images of his assistant, Éder Sarabia , on the bench of the Bernabéu have marked the week and have thinned the press conference of the technician this Friday.

Visibly uncomfortable with the subject, Setien, consciously or unconsciously, has again pointed to Sarabia . " The only thing he has done wrong is the ways in which he has expressed himself, which I don't like. The interpretation that people can make of screams ... Is that it is normal to scream. I love that and I don't I am worried. I am worried about the forms and that is what I have to clarify, "said Setién, who was asked directly why they had to apologize (he did so in an interview with El Periódico) .

" We have apologized because I think there are words that should not be used . In the rest, everyone understands that the first coach screams and the second one too. And that the players accept the screams when they are to encourage. But we have the obligation to keep the forms, because there are children watching us and education must take precedence in people who are exposed and permanently leave the media. You have to take care of the forms. Because the important thing is the forms, not the background, "he explained.

"IT WILL BE LIKE ALWAYS"

That is, Setién acknowledges that his second coach has been wrong . According to him, in the forms only, not in the background, but he was wrong. It is a defense, then, something strange. The question now is to know if Sarabia is going to maintain its belligerent profile in this Saturday's game against Real Sociedad. According to his boss, "it will be as usual. Only you have to control and change the forms . Control some aspects and that's it." Of course, it will be one of the attractions of the afternoon.

Finally, Setién jumped in the chair when a journalist asked him, directly, if he had trouble taking control of the locker room. " I don't know what you rely on to say that we have no control over the locker room . We have no problem inside the locker room. This is an oil raft. And they are accepting it in an extraordinary way. They have to work to carry out the that we propose. There are many things that are improving. They are objective data, that we have them, we handle them and put them on the table ; our relationship is extraordinary. Although some may not be interested, "Setién closed.
