Ronald Koeman: "We still haven't said goodbye to LaLiga"

This Saturday, the FC Barcelona has been unable to prolong his series of victories and has yielded a tie against Valencia (2-2) in a meeting that left a flavour agridulce, with good phases of game alternated with important errors. In the back press conference to the meeting goes in culés and ches, Ronald Koeman regretted the tie but valued positively some appearances of the meeting.

The Dutch trainer did self-criticism and admitted that his team was irregular. "It has been a difficult party. We trace back, but we had to be more concentrated. Had occasions, but were not concentrated in some actions. They defended well. We have done the effort in the second part to win. But we have not created as much as we wanted. We have done an irregular party. We lost balloons in zones that were dangerous. I have played with three backwards to control better the party", said.

For Ronald Koeman, the key of the tie were the punctual errors, no the fault of attitude. "I do not think that there has been a problem of attitude. There has been irregularity in the party. We have lost balloons... The team has had doubts", said, adding that "we had wanted to win all the meetings. The problem is not the tie of today, the problem is that we lost four or five parties and therefore it is worse the tie".

"We have paid the errors of concentration"

Elogió, on the other hand, to Ronald Araújo. The Uruguayan no only had an imperial performance in defence, but it marked a golazo that was very near to award the three points to the FC Barcelona. "For a defence also is very important to mark. It has worked well and it has played well, but his goal has not served to carry us the three points", commented.

Ronald Koeman also explained the suplencia of Frenkie of Jong, that had annoyances and that did not jump to the lawn of the Camp Nou until the second time. "Frenkie Had some annoyances in the training of the Friday and was a risk that played the ninety minutes. We have put him in the rest by Busquets because we looked for something different, but no because Busquets was badly", said.

In spite of the self-criticism that did Ronald Koeman, wanted to remember that it still is missing a lot so that it finish the championship and that the FC Barcelona still has options to trace back and litigate by LaLiga. "Still we have not sacked us of the title. They are missing a lot of points. It is a very complicated season. In two months, everything can be different. It is necessary to struggle to recover the points", sentenced.

Irregularity and problems to unemployed balloon

On the irregularity of the team, Ronald Koeman remembered that they are playing a lot of young footballers that have to go taking experience. "With the age of a lot of players also is normal that there is irregularity in the field. It needs time so that the youngsters mature", explained, adding that "there are moments where is not so important to play well like knowing carry the party at the end".

On the other hand, the trainer of the FC Barcelona also recognised the problems that is having the FC Barcelona to unemployed balloon, fitting quite a lot of goals by means of this road. "It is necessary to know how many players of height have to defend to people so high. It has jumped only. It is necessary to defend, it is necessary to be by on. We are smaller and have problems to unemployed balloon", explained.
