Quique Setién has a problem with the press conferences. The Cantabrian trainer is used to to be always very sincere and says what thinks without putting him too filter. This way to be and to act is doing that it win much more leadership of the that would owe. For example, in the one of the post split against Osasuna, the santanderino surprised to all the world ensuring that neither Ansu Fati, neither Riqui Puig, neither Ronald Araújo went to be in principle with the filial to struggle in the playoffs of promotion to Second.

The idea of the club was that the three incorporated from this past Thursday to the discipline of the B to be able to play against the Valladolid Promises this Sunday. To more take, in the Barcelona took for granted that they would be from the Monday if Setién needed them for Vitoria. With Gerard Hammered and Ivan Rakitic sanctioned, is evident that the Cantabrian himself went to throw of Ronald and Riqui. Surely, the injury of Griezmann is what has carried to the ex of the Betis to explain also with Ansu.

The míster of the Barça explained the other day that it could not allow that the three played this playoff in case lesionaban, since it has they for the Champions League in August. "It had liked me that it went in other circumstances, but does not go to be possible. Have to several sanctioned for the Champions and for the Sunday. Without them, only we would have to do an eleven, without hardly changes", said, in reference to this for surprise of all the world.

Nevertheless, a pair of days after this no longer is so conclusive. It can that somebody in the club have given him a tug of ears so that it show more opened to allow that the canteranos help to the filial. In the previous press conference to the crash in Mendizorroza, Setién left the open door to that Riqui, Fati and Araújo can play to the orders of Javier García Pepper. Nevertheless, the one of Santander puntualizó that it will be something consensuado and taking into account what is better for the first team.

Setién Gives course backwards and opens the door

"We can assume that they play with the filial, but we have the Champions and it is necessary to be consistent. It is a decision that will take the club speaking between all. In the party in front of the Naples go to have a lot of drops by sanction and by injury and this has to take into account because these boys have a lot of options to play", commented. Besides, also it explained the reasons that have carried him to have this promising trio for the crash in front of the Alavés.

"This is a decision that have to meditar. For Vitoria only have fifteen players and the possibility of three changes, by what had to come. It interests us a lot of that the filial go up, but this are the circumstances", signalled. The announcement of the three footballers has left to the Barcelona B without being able to have they for the decisive party that have this Sunday in front of the Valladolid B. To lose, the culés will say goodbye to the dream to rise to Second, but winning could finish having Ansu, Riqui and Ronald in the back rounds.
