Abidal: I saw positive changes in training without Setien having done anything yet Barcelona The director is pleased with the hire

Quique Setien is the new coach of Barcelona and he's already having an impact, in the view of Eric Abidal.

The Barcelona technical secretary revealed that there was a change in the atmosphere in training on Setien's first day on the job.

"Each coach has a plan, a way of working, a DNA and a character," Abidal stated at Setien's presentation.

"When it comes to taking a decision, you have to think of the club and the moment.

"We like Quique Setien for his philosophy.

"I saw a lot of changes today in the training session, very positive ones, without Quique having done anything yet.

"I think it'll all go well.

"The perfect coach is Quique Setien and we have confidence in him and his staff.

"The most important thing for me is the feeling he has with his players.

"It's the way of working, his focus on the detail.

"That's important when it comes to winning LaLiga Santander or the Champions League.

"I wish him the best and we're here to help."
