Setiens assistant tried to motivate a player and it hurt their feelings. Setien then apologizes, a cuck move

Our players are a bunch of overprivileged pricks.

We are hopeless.

I can’t wait for all the senior players to get out of here. ALL of them.

Setien has much to learn about dealing with the predatory Catalan press.

Let's hope master of the press conference Goatverde can phone up Setien and pass on a few pointers.

Yea, I am afraid this is the bottom line. The same issue that happened during the end of the Madrid Galactico era. You reap what you saw.

We won't win the CL until the old core is gone at this point.

They will bring in Neymar as they wanted, bring in a new mobile number 9 like Martinez and bring in a Midfielder and a new CB, the same shit will remain. The old core like Alba, Suarez, Pique, Busi, Messi, etc will still be starting games and the newer players will be forced to play out of position to try and accommodate these guys still or never play.

Messi is a far different case, but the likes of Alba, Busi, Pique, Suarez? I feel it's fair game to start cutting them from the starting lineup and let the newer and younger guys get a far better chance at showing us what they really have and instead of forcing them to cover for the older guys.

I doubt Vidal and Rakitic will be here next season anyway. I trust Semedo at LB more than I do Alba and Firpo currently and Busi and Pique are far to slow to be leading the Back line and Midfield.

Not just the old core, galatico signings, manager, board basically everyone. Not good enough at the moment.

I am late to this Eder Sarabia saga. Can someone tell me what exactly happened that Setien had to apologize profusely for it? What happened?

sarabia was screaming and cussing at the players from the sideline during the Clasico. He was specifically screaming at Griezmann for not shooting the ball, to Arthur (not too sure on this one) for not passing the ball forward enough and only doing side passes/back passes.

Yep, thats pretty much it. Only Suárez is allowed to scream at the other players.

Let's not simplify this so much and say that Sanabria wasn't at fault at all and that setien called out his behaviour.

He did say things that aren't totally normal and motivational but that being said he didn't say something to be called out for. Also setien handled this situation very well and diplomatically and certainly didn't accuse him. He was like yeah he was right but there is a way to behave and that's true.

“It’s sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, those f*cking sh*tty long passes,” he said of Gerard Pique’s distribution.

“He’s not doing anything he’s supposed to be doing, f*cking hell,” Sarabia grumbled about Nelson Semedo.

“Again, Arthur, f*cking hell,” said the assistant, as Barcelona’s Brazilian midfielder became the target.

Antoine Griezmann, Frenkie de Jong and Sergio Busquets also fell into his bad books at times and were also rebuked.

He did that against RM, I am not sure this is a motivational, and honestly I am not sure if it is normal.
Also,it seems he had history of saying insults to opponent.
He is relatively young for a coach/assistant. And it is well known he became a coach due to his dad being a close friend and ex-teammate of Quiqu himself. This would normally make it difficult for players to respect him that much and take insults easily.

Honestly, I can understand both sides here, players would never like to find that they were insulted in front of camera in clasico by their own bench, but it is also understandable that someone could be swearing under such high pressure game.

Valverde should teach him the art of it-is-what-it-is. Minimum effort. Maximum result.

I was team Sarabia up till now, after thinking about for a few days, it's just not productive to have some 30 y/o melt screaming insults at players like Messi etc., he isn't coaching bunch of 14 year olds anymore, either give specific instructions to alter the setup, or stfu.

Not the man to take us forward. Average in every sense of the word. Even EV had some redeeming qualities, there are none with Setien. Best case scenario is he wins himself a Liga this season and retires because Barto will certainly not sack him this summer.
