Koeman, on Leo Messi: "For this team still is important"

In Saint Mamés, the FC Barcelona went back to smile. Much more there of the victory and the three points (that they cost gold), the image that has left the team invites to dream to the barcelonismo with that it still is possible struggle for winning LaLiga. The culés, especially in attack, were consistent and insistent and left very good feelings. The most stood out, without place to doubts, has been Leo Messi, that achieved to three 'partners' importantísimos in the field: Pedri, Frenkie of Jong and, sopresivamente, Antoine Griezmann.

The Barça and his captain found in Bilbao the spark and emotion that needs the team for revertir the irregular beginning of season of the culés. From now, expecting that the Barça keep the level that has showed in The Cathedral, it will be necessary to add of three in three to approach to the Athletic and Real Madrid in the classification. For now, in the barcelonismo breathes hopes.

It has been the Argentinian the one who has carried big part of the recognition after the crash in front of the Athletic Club. Messi marked two so many and was importantísimo for the first, with which Pedri equalised the marker in the first chamber of hour of the meeting. Ronald Koeman has said that the captain culé "surely with the goals a bit more than at the beginning (change), but as I have said several times, always has showed his game and his win. Sticks, played, goals, almost almost is what want", ensuring, as already it has said it in different opportunities, that Messi "is a big player and for this team still is importantísimo".

The rosarino has not been the only elogiado by the trainer. Pedri González continues showing that it is the player of the present and future of the FC Barcelona and that it is, without doubts, the best 'partner' of Leo Messi in the field. "It is showing in spite of his youth that is very mature in his quality and, the most important, in his head", has commented Koeman on the player of 18 years.

Koeman Trusts the fight by LaLiga

Ronald Koeman is, probably, the one who calmer remained after the deployment of his team in front of the ones of Marcelino. In fact, the Dutch considers that "the result is cortito because I think that have been upper to them during a lot of phases of the party", expressed after the party. Although the image of the culés has been very positive, is necessary to improve in the appearance of the concentration during all the meeting, especially because once again it has punished them. "They marked us the 1-0 by not having the defensive concentration, but afterwards control, have played very well, were very put and is not easy", commented the Dutch.

In summary, Koeman aimed that it is satisfied and happy by the result, that "have deserved it win by our game, by the opportunities. The work of the team has been phenomenal". If the Barça plays the next meetings as it has faced up it to the Athletic, there is big hopes to compete by the title, and Koeman knows it: "we Go to struggle until the ultimo split. Still there is a quite big distance, but are in good way, improving in a lot of things".
