Fabio Capello is not a fan of the current Barça side: "I like coaches who are able to identify the characteristics of their players", the Italian explained.
Fabio Capello has come down hard on Quique Setién's Barcelona who he feels are one-dimensional. Talking at today's Bilbao Football Summit at San Mamés, the former Real Madrid and Juventus coach said that he "liked Barcelona how they were before" and that the current side "spend too long just passing the ball about the pitch, without getting near the opponents' area then hope that the genius, Leo Messi, conjures up some magic".

it's so sad seeing my fellow Cules agree with what this guy said.. oh is it because it's Barcelona or the fact that we have the best player in the world? we tend to forget every team has a special player who does the trick.. real Madrid fans forgot Modric was the one who organised Madrid's play against osasuna last week no one would call him out and say all Madrid does is to let modric do the trick, you guy's should stop hating and see there's more to football. under Setien messi doesn't need to go deep bring the ball out dribble past 6 player's score or assist under Setein I see team work.. watch De Jong's goal against betis.. the only work messi had to do was pick him up and gave him the assist and bang De Jong scores.. Take away a star player from a team and you see the whole team feels it.. take away VVD and you'll see how liverpool is going to concede goals in the back, Vady had an injury Leicester suffered or take away KDB from peps play and see how the team suffers.. just leave our messi Alone he's been doing this right from the day he made he's debut in a Barcelona shirt and I don't see him stopping.. Visca El Barca
