Q. Setien: our rigid five-substitution system © JumpStory

„Barcelona“ coach Quique Setien commented on the new rule temporarily introduced in football - the five substitution system. According to the specialist, this is not advantageous for his team. „I think that five substitutions will do more harm than good to our team. Many matches are decided in the final minutes and the opponents will have the opportunity to have more fresh players on the field. Otherwise, we could take advantage of the fatigue of our opponents“, explained Q. Setien. „Right now we are struggling and we are thinking that we should refine our game by training in smaller groups. For example, we couldn't all participate in video room reviews at the same time, and when it comes to tactics, that is very important. On the other hand, athletes who have not played football for a long time will have more motivation, as they have rested psychologically and released all the stress“, said the strategist.
