Quique Setién came to Barça to revolutionize the team after a difficult stage finish with Ernesto Valverde. But the parties pass and the Santanderian still does not find the key and has even taken certain vices from his predecessor

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Ernesto Valverde hartó to the fans of the FC Barcelona and finish tiring also to the own club, that decided to do without his services in January of this 2020. With the goodbye of the 'Txingurri' opened a fan of important possibilities to find him substitute. Xavi Hernández was the favourite, but the Catalan refused the proposal, the same that did Ronald Koeman, that was the 'plan b'. After the "no" of both, the Barça decided to bet by Quique Setién, without team and happy by the opportunity.

The Cantabrian landed in the Camp Nou without a successful path and only with his conception of the game like guarantee. The ex of the Betis always has felt a deep love by Johan Cruyff and all his school, by what seemed the ideal for the Barcelona. The Managerial Board wanted to a technician that changed the course of the culés in the futbolístico and that went back to implant the game of touch and possession that partly lost with Valverde.

The santanderino arrived with this idea and generated some illusion his initial speech and his first interventions. Nevertheless, the time has happened and the improvement of the Barça has been minimum in all the senses. The group barcelonista plays different to how did it with Valverde, but follows without convincing. Besides, the one of Santander begins to remember by moments to the extremeño and has taken some vices that would have to concern him so much to him as to the club.

To the 'Txingurri' accused him of inmovilista and to bet so alone by the calls 'holy cows'. The one of Viandar of the Edge 'happened' of the quarry saved in exceptional cases like the one of Ansu Fati or even Carles Pérez, and bet especially by the veterans. Setién, in theory, had to go out of this norm and bet by something distinct and revolutionary, but five months afterwards the reality is being another very distinct. Any youngster is usual with him and the veterans follow

Setién Has not done the revolution that promised

Regarding management of staff refers , the ex of The Palms is being an extension of Valverde. Although this stop by coronavirus has hampered his work, the reality is that little by little it is seeing that the Cantabrian still prioritises to all the heavy weights above the rest. For putting an example, Luis Suárez, already recovered, played everything in Seville without being to his best level while Ansu Fati happened all the meeting in the bench. The canterano, by the way, went out in front of the Leganés marking a goal and won another opportunity that did not have this Friday.

With Arthur Melo also is sucediendo something similar, since to Valverde accused him to give him priority to the veterans Rakitic and Vidal, something that the Cantabrian is repeating. The Croat and the Chilean are by in front of the Brazilian to day of today and seems that it goes to be something recurrent. Neither Riqui Puig, in spite of having had minutes lately, seems that it will be usual. They remain eight days and Setién still has margin to correct this change of course with his theoretical initial plan, but for the moment has left very clear that will prioritise to win with the ones of always to risk with the less usual.
