Speaking on the case, Setien has admitted he would like to coach both Neymar and Martinez, though stressing the possible difficulties they could face. He told El Larguer: "[I pick] both, because they are excellent players. I don’t think about the future, but about the present. Neymar is a great footballer, and everyone would like to train the best. But we know that he costs so much and that it’s not easy to sign him." Source: MetroUK
