After the first failure in the coach's chair of "Barcelona", Quique Setien admitted that dominant ball possession so far does not bring results. "Barcelona" had more than 73 percent of ball possession in the first two "La Liga" matches under Q. Setien, but against "Granada" they only triumphed by a minimal margin, and in the recent duel they suffered a 0:2 loss to the "Valencia" team. "The reality is that we played a poor match," Quique Setien said after the Valencia match. "We looked particularly bad in the first half. We couldn't find ways to score goals and many other components of the game did not work today. "Valencia" capitalized on our mistakes," the strategist revealed. "I don't see concentration problems, we simply lacked quality in our game. We let "Valencia" feel the rhythm of the game and it cost us dearly. We made many unnecessary passes. We lacked sharpness in attack and opportunities where we could really threaten the opponents," Quique Setien continued. Frenkie de Jong was once again tried in a more attacking position, but Quique Setien admitted that this experiment was not successful. "Frenkie still doesn't understand a lot of things. He has already given the team many good things and proved that he is a great player, but he still needs time to understand the other players," added the specialist.
