Barcelona boss Quique Setien conceded that he may not have explained things properly to his players ahead of their 2-0 defeat at Valencia – his first loss since taking the helm.
Barcelona had the lion’s share of possession at Mestalla but that statistic counted for nothing as Valencia produced the game’s best chances and scored two second-half goals to take maximum points.
In a post-match interview shown on Barcelona’s official website, Setien said: «I think in the first half we were frankly poor.»We weren’t positioned well, we didn’t have that precision, that ability to wait.
They had five or six chances on the counter-attack.
«We have to evaluate a lot of things from the first half. I don’t think we played well at all in the first half.
There are things that we didn’t really understand – perhaps I didn’t explain them properly to the players.»I think perhaps we need to understand things in a bit of a better way.
«It’s true that in the second half we were able to have more space and get forward more. We had four or five chances.
