Setien: At Barcelona, I encountered habits I had never seen before

Quique Setien, who on Wednesday took over as the new Villarreal coach, referred to his time as Barcelona's boss in an interview with El Larguero on Thursday.

Setien once again spoke about the difficult experience at Camp Nou and the problems he faced when making decisions.

"When you arrive at a place where they have been winning everything for 14 years... they have habits that I had never seen. There are things you cannot change because they are established and it is not an easy situation," he said.

Despite the difficult moments, Setien would accept the job again: "It was an experience that I learned a lot from. I would do it again without a doubt. You learn from everything to improve in the future."

Messi

It is known that Setien's relationship with Lionel Messi was not the best. The coach once again suggested there things he did not like about working with the Argentina forward, but was more careful with his choice of words.

"It is not worth speaking about Messi," he said. "Everyone should remember how he has been, for me, a permanent attraction in football for 14 years. I spent 14 years watching Barça's games waiting to play against them to be able to see him [live]. 

"That is how I want to remember Messi. I can't say if he disappointed me. There are things I liked, others that I didn't and I had to fight with that. If on top of that he scored three goals against you in every game, you can't say anything. There are always players that can be harder to deal with that you make certain allowances for."
