Before tomorrow’s clash with Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League, FC Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman spoke about the opponent and addressed his predecessor Quique Setien’s comments on Captain Lionel Messi.
As for his team’s goals, Koeman showed that they are “always the same. “”Create opportunities, score goals and win, and [play] in the Champions League. “
As for the number of COVID cases in Kiev and whether this can obstruct the party, Koeman may simply not go up much more. “I don’t know. We’ve talked and we know they have their problems. They tried it this morning and we have to do it. ” Wait for the effects of the afternoon. I hope we can play, [and] we can only prepare [for] that.
Once again, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen might not have been in a position to start at goal, and Koeman provided a small update on the state of German.
“Marc has been with the organization [for] less than a week. You can see that. Tomorrow morning we have our last [session] and there will be a list of [players who have been called]. We have to wait,” he said. Koeman insisted.
Koeman agreed that patience was required with a team that has been undergoing face washing lately and is rebuilding.
“Personally, I get a lot of feedback that other people are satisfied,” Koeman revealed. “It’s more of a question of purpose; we are the team that created the clearest opportunities in line with the game. Every five and a part of opportunities to mark a purpose. “And we’re not satisfied with that number. There is quality and there are players in that sense. [But] the other young people come and it’s positive. We know that in La Liga we have to win more games.
“Everyone knows my position on it. I have already said several times that we are missing [one], but above all it is based on the club’s monetary stage in January. I can’t force it, [because] I came here”. to the club knowing what [the club’s] economy is like,” Koeman replied, when asked if Barca was still missing a natural number. “
Returning to his young players, and if they will be selected as opposed to the Ukrainians, Koeman said: “We know we have young and quality players, but that depends on [their] performance. As a coach, I have them. Pedri played very well opposite Real Madrid and Juventus, but I can’t get him into every match, there’s the physical side [too]. We do it because they deserve to play.
Asked about whether he agreed with his predecessor Quique Setien that Captain Lionel Messi was “difficult” to manage, Koeman insisted that “opinions should be respected. “
“To me, Leo is the most productive in the world. I see his ambition and his winning character every single day. He is not a player who fights, he is the captain and each and every week I tell him ” about things on the field, [and] from the locker room [to] have a smart relationship. I don’t agree [with Setien], but I respect what’s happened.
