• Liga.Messi paralyzes the renovation and corners Bartomeu

The coach of the FC Barcelona , Quique Setien has refused to " speculate" on the future of Leo Messi , to which some information located outside the Catalan club at the end of the season, and has been limited to ensuring that sees "good", and pointed out that although they have a " small disadvantage" compared to Real Madrid in LaLiga Santander, they have "life still" and will try to put pressure on them by beating Villarreal at the Estadio de la Cerámica this Sunday .

"I am not going to speculate with this, I have not heard anything from him. They are news," he declared at the press conference before the game. "I see him well. Everything else is speculation. I see him training well, we speak what we have to speak, no more. He is perfectly aware of what he has to do at every moment in the game. He makes decisions, but I don't think he has no influence of age, "he added.

In addition, the Cantabrian coach also did not want to talk about his continuity in the culé set, nor did he give details of the meeting he had with the board a few days ago. " I am not going to reveal the conversations that we had that day . I did not perceive what you are saying (to dispense with it next season)," he said.

"Regarding my personal situation, I don't spend any minute thinking about what might happen. I focus on tomorrow's game, on maintaining the level of demand, trying to get more hits to win the games. I don't see beyond what I have to see, "he said. "I have lived it other times. We cannot control this situation, it is the circus in which we are involved, we accept it. I do not waste a minute reading and listening. There is a lot of noise, but I focus on what I have to do "he continued.

In this sense, he clarified that the "hierarchies" have never prevented him from developing his work. " I understand that in each club there are their steps and hierarchies , it is something that is gained over time with extraordinary performance. They have not prevented me from anything, they have helped me make decisions. I do not have to impose things, I try to speak and to debate, "he said.

Although it would change some decisions made. "Some things we surely would have changed. When you have to make decisions there are times when you later think you could have done it differently. Sometimes you have doubts, what you will never know is if that other option had been more valid. Everyone can to think that things are changed to improve them, but sometimes they get worse. It is an internal debate that I have overcome for quite some time, "he said.

"GRIEZMANN UNDERSTANDS THIS SITUATION"

On the other hand, the coach culé appreciated the controversial substitution of the French striker Antoine Griezmann . "Okay, I have exchanged a few words with him. Antoine is a great professional, a player who can understand this situation. He is an extraordinary kid, tremendously professional. He is very positive and we can count on him 100% when I have to return to the field "he exposed.

Who does not dispense is the Uruguayan Luis Suárez , although it could give him rest. "I think he is a player who has to be on the field. He has given many goals to this club, he can continue to do so and we have confidence in him. At moments we could give him rest, but I have to consider it on the fly," he said.

"I have spoken of hierarchies, but I have not spoken of being indisputable. Griezmann is a great player and very important. When Griezmann has played you have asked me about Ansu Fati ... I would love to be able to give you minutes, but I have to decide according to my criteria I take into account the hierarchy of each player, but in a club like Barcelona not everyone will be able to play. Some will be angry, because everyone wants to be on the field. It is a decision that I have to take responsibility for, " continuous.

The "circus" of the referees

Although he did not complain about arbitration decisions , Setién left a reflection on it. "From this perception, there are things that catch your attention. I reserve those opinions for you. Sometimes you see it from a little objective prism. There will always be this controversy and it is the circus we are in," he said.

Finally, he refused to speak of future additions to the team, although he did assure that he is in contact with the sports management. "We should be starting the season, you should be talking about arrivals and departures, but the circumstances are these and you have to live with them. The priority is in football. I am having conversations with the sports management, but I will not comment on it publicly. It's not nice having to be playing and speculating with the players, but you have to accept it, "he said.
