Rivaldo wants Quique Setien to improve Barca's recent mediocre performances

Rivaldo has given his say on Barcelona's form after the La Liga return. The former Blaugrana stars has appeared to be unhappy with the Catalans' latest displays.
He has advised Quique Setien to improve his side's performance.
Rivaldo told Betfair: "It's obvious that Barcelona have to improve their football, and that's up to the coach, Setien has to find a formula to do something new.
"He needs to find a way to take advantage of the quality of the players he has at his disposal."
The Brazilian added: "Of course, recent matches make everyone doubt the progress because we're used to seeing a different kind of Barcelona.
"I want to believe that the mediocre recent performances are the result of these strange times that we're living in."
Barcelona have won three out of four games since the Spanish top tier returned to action:
  • Mallorca 0-4 Barcelona;
  • Barcelona 2-0 Leganes;
  • Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona;
  • Barcelona 1-0 Athletic Bilbao.
Interestingly, the Catalans are the only Spanish side who haven't conceded a single goal since the La Liga return.
Sadly, Barca are no longer at the top of the league table. They are behind Real Madrid who are level on points but have a better head-to-head record.
