Barcelona Is Not The Barcelona Of Old – Koeman

Barcelona manager, Ronald Koeman has come out to say that he is tired of speaking about his future at the club. He recently revealed that the earlier people know that Barcelona is not the same club as before, the better.

According to him, Barca drew the game vs Granada because the team lacked pace on the break with players like Fati and Dembele out and there were no alternatives.

Koeman added that the team’s start in the game also made it hard for his players to recover for the victory.

His words, “I’m not going to talk about my future anymore.”

“Today’s Barca is not the Barca of eight years ago,”

“We played Barca’s way, but we don’t have the speed on the break because [Philippe] Coutinho goes inside, [Yusuf] Demir doesn’t go too deep and that’s the way it is. With Ansu [Fati] or [Ousmane] Dembele it’s different, you have more speed, but you have to look for alternatives.”

“Before the game you think about winning, especially at home, but our bad start made the game difficult for us. We didn’t come in strong, it was our fault.”

“The opponent, after scoring, wasted time from minute two, defended more, did not leave spaces and this is difficult.”

“We improved during the game. We changed and we played with crosses from the wings. We put energy into scoring. We wanted more, but one point is better than nothing. We deserved the draw.”
