Setien is 5 training sessions away from equalling Valverde training sessions this season.

This seems a bit much...
I don't remember which RM's coach was in charge, maybe [MENTION=5226]Wolfe[/MENTION] could help.
But I have read an article a few days ago, where Roberto Carlos said that during a Galacticos era, Flo hired a new coach who had ideas of very intense physical training sessions.
Players followed coach's orders for 8 days and then Carlos and a few amigos (from Galacticos era) came to a coach and said:
"Mister, it won't work like this. Either you will lower the training intensity or you are gone."
A guy was sacked a few weeks later
Galacticos were quite similar in age, declined physique and zero motivation to our Club de amigos, this is why I am mentioning this story.
I am not saying that Setien is wrong with heavy regimes.
But it is a tricky thing and it could backfire easily:
1. players getting dead tired in 3 weeks
2. amigos getting angry
3. injuries due to overload
I am not defending EV in THIS post, but who knows, maybe a time will tell that the only way to work with the amigos is: do what they want and keep them happy.
If Setien will apply these ideas, it will be interesting to see what will happen with player's bodies and stamina, with injuries and with their happiness with those regimes.
Again, coaching players is way more than tactics.
Especially in a club like Barcelona in a locker room filled with big egos.
Let see whether Setien will know how to find a right balance between results, beautiful play, training intensity, egos and player's happiness.

This what I don't understand, I had more training sessions in college than those softies ever had under Valverde.

you've got to be trolling now. no other way. seems like you've reached your breaking point after EV got sacked.
