Seth's unprecedented confession: Hard class, who was I to...

Little fan of Real Madrid, while leading Barcelona until recently. Quaque Setien He had been eager to train Leo Mess, even though this is complicated. From all that experience he's got a lot of things, but those that will be remembered are defeats against Bayern Munich with a score of 2-8 and his statement that left his cows to take the lead in the Catalans. That's why he's been harassed.

Setiem has given a long interview for “ElPais” And made it face a name known as Vicente Del Bosque. Renowned Spanish Trainer in His Address Book “Chat with Del Bosque”He's been trying to unscramble Sethie and he's done it. Mess and losing against Bayer are among the sensitive topics and Barcelona's former coach has spoken.

I think Mess is the best football player of all time. There have been other great players who have been excellent, but the continuation this boy has had over the years has never been. Perhaps Pele... ”, says first Settien, who then acknowledges the difficulty every coach has to work with a player like the Argentinian.

“Leo is hard to manage. Who am I to change it! If they've accepted it for years and haven't changed it... There is another aspect other than the football part. It's more complicated to manage. More than that, it's natural for many athletes, as seen in Michael Jordan's documentary (“The last dance”). You see things you don't expect”, the Spanish technician adds.

Del Bosque later reminded him of a case at Atletico Madrid, where a friend had faced a player and the situation was like that, “or me, or that”. Has Seth been in the same situation as Mess? The technician shares his attitude with readers. “He's very reserved, but he makes you see things as he wishes. Mess doesn't talk much. At certain moments I should have made other decisions, but there's something about you: the club.

The club is over the president, player and coach. It's the club, it's the fans. It's the ones you owe the maximum respect while doing what's best for the club. There are millions of people who think that Mess, or any other player, is more important than the club and the coach. He and the others around him have lived for 14 years in that club, winning titles and everything possible”.

Tata Martino was one of the trainers fired from Barcelona, while a conversation with Mess was discovered. I know that if you call the president, you can throw me away at any moment, but don't tell me every day, it's Martino's words, which Del Bosque reminds former Barcelona coach Sethien.

I heard that phrase and others. I don't need anyone to tell me what Martino or anyone else said. I've had enough experience to make an assessment of what that guy and others really are like, says Sethien, who is then asked if he was real Quique during the time he led Barcelona.

I wasn't myself at Barcelona, this is reality. When you sign for a club like Barcelona you know things won't be easy, despite having the best players in the world. The reality is, it couldn't be me and I didn't do what I had to do. True, I could have made drastic decisions, but nothing would have been fixed in a short time.

After the isolation we had one match after another and we were two points ahead. We started out well, but the situation got complicated later, and Reale did a great thing. I should have been different, but there was no time to work or think. The drastic decisions at that time would harm us. We had the Champions and Championships there. Then what happened happened against Bayer... ”

That 2-8 defeat and the normally painful dismissal of Sethien, who nevertheless stresses that he has passed the mourning period. You get that loss into Barcelona history and you normally get a lot of damage. I take my guilt rate. Then I discovered that my decision was taken before that 2-8 loss. I heard everything.

Do I want to train? Not much... I'm comfortable at home with the sea and famous cows. I spent my mourning period. You'll never hear me complain. I live from football for 40 years. I'll be grateful to football for everything he gave me. Always”, closes Setien, who had called attention to the top of Real Batis, the most beautiful games his team developed.
