Eder Sarabia's touchline persona annoys Barça players but not the club
Barcelona don't feel Setien's assistant was doing anything wrong at the Bernabeu
Eder Sarabia's criticism of various Barcelona players on the touchline during the side's 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid on Sunday has annoyed part of the dressing room but not the club, who feel he was just doing his job.
Quique Setien's No.2 has been in the spotlight this week after videos were revealed which showed him complaining during the Clasico loss.
The fervour with which he acts at times has not sat well with part of the squad. Sarabia experiences games with a lot of intensity and during the game he criticised a lot of players, as revealed by lip-readers.
His expressive body language and critical language did annoy some players but the club have interpreted everything as the coach fulfilling his role.
There are no plans to talk with him about his touchline behaviour although he will now know to be careful of the lurking television cameras.
Meanwhile, the images of Sarabia have had a rippled effect among clubs who feel rights holders are abusing their position. As such, they have complained to La Liga.
