And while players have to play for their country, Ronald Koeman talks to the press about the Champions League and his team. The Barcelona coach talked about the next crusade and its players for the official website of the club.
In fact, the Dutchman doesn’t have the simplest task in the world, after all, he inherited a largely unbalanced team of players with incredibly high expectations, but even with that said, they’ve become smart so far.
“Overall, the team looked great, especially against Villarreal and Celta de Vigo. However, if we look at the match against Seville, we can go to our dry cleaners. There are main points that can be corrected. “

All this, of course, starts with a good workout, which has been missing from the team for years, but Koeman has ensured that the adjustments with more intensity and concentration.
“We ask for the highest concentration and intensity in exercise, so that this is reflected in the matches. That’s why exercise is more intense, because the way you exercise is the way you play. “
Even if Barcelona is a team consistently in attack, defense is also an art that will have to be mastered. When it comes to everyday outdoor jobs, it all starts at the front line and teamwork is key.
“The defense begins with the attackers. If they help well, our advocates won’t have that much trouble. Defense is a matter of equipment, and that may be one of the reasons our defense has improved.

Another thing replaced the team’s lineup, dropping the classic 4-3-3 in favor of 4-2-3-1.
“With this team and with such players, in my opinion, 4-2-3-1 is training. Given the quality we have, this education is very productive for the team.
Of course, he also had to deal with some of his players, citing Sergio Dest, Miralem Pjani and Lionel Messi.
Dest played a few minutes against Sevilla and was really quiet on the field. He stayed here the outer stop to temporarily adapt to his new environment.
“Leo has shown his career that he is a winner. Be it a training session or a game, he is going to be there to give everything he has. I think that’s why he is the captain of the team. “
‘Pjani’ is a little late, but he’ll be back in shape, he’s been given a lot of quality.

Many other people need to see Barcelona succeed in Europe and in the way Koeman talks about the Champions League, there is room for optimism.
“It is a very competition. In theory, we are the most productive of the group, but we have to prove it. We started at home opposite Ferencvaros, which is a game for which we have to prepare and analyze the opposition.
