As it is used to say sometimes, Quique Setién "was born to be in the FC Barcelona". The Cantabrian technician is one of the trainers that better football has practised in LaLiga in the last seasons and arrives to the team barcelonista to try give him back the illusion to the fans culé. The santanderino never has hid his admiration by the Barça and along his career has done several winks that could have him helped to finish heading to the Barcelona.

The newspaper 'ACE' has recopilado all these insinuations of Quique to the Barcelona.

"They state me the rumours that tie me to the Barcelona, but is a possibility that do not contemplate. I do not know if have the level to train to the Barcelona. I have been two years training in First and have a clear idea of how plays the Barça, a lot of things that do come of the philosophy Cruyff", affirmed.

Also there were insinuations of the surroundings of the barcelonismo to Setién, since in May of 2018 the Foundation Cruyff said of him that was the "trainer that better represents the values of the Dutch". A pair of months later, the one of Santander launched a wink to Leo Messi when going up to Twitter a photography with a T-shirt of the Argentinian beside one of Luka Modric.

"For Quique, with appreciate and admiration. By your way to see the football. An embrace", put the one of Badia. This occurred because after the 3-4 of the Betis to the Barça, the Cantabrian asked him his T-shirt in some images that attracted the cameras.

The tarpaulin of this team with Messi leaves little capacity to the rival", signalled.

It does it all the parties. It is a luxury have him seen each Sunday, coincide with him. It has liked me a lot that our public there is him ovacionado, that have valued to a player that today have suffered, but that enjoy usually. It is just and honourable recognise it, am proud of the behaviour of the fans", recognised.
