The Que T’hi Jugues program on Spanish radio “Cadena Ser” revealed an altercation that took place between Argentine Lionel Messi, Barcelona star, and the team’s former coach, Quique Setién, last season.
The incident dates back to Barça’s clash with Celta de Vigo in LaLiga last season, when Barcelona missed two important points in a draw, and this result caused a storm in the dressing room.
In that match, Messi ignored the instructions of assistant coach Idir Sarabia during his break.
According to the radio program, Setién said harshly to Messi: “If you don’t like what I say, there is the door!”
The program explained that this angry response from Setién was due to Messi not liking the tone with which Setién addressed the players, to reproach them for the mistakes that made the team draw in that match.
He continued: “Messi asked the coach to respect the players who won everything, and they have a much bigger resume than him, so Setién responded in this tone.”

Messi’s reaction, according to the source, was to look at the coach and smile, realizing that Setién’s time at Barcelona was over.
This is an episode that explains the complex relationship that existed between the coach and the players in the locker room, in which the coach was considered to lack tact and many times does not respect his players, and overreacts to their words and expressions .
On the other hand, despite the fact that the current coach of the Catalan team, Ronald Koeman, faces the players directly, the players believe that he is respectable, according to sources close to the dressing room.
