The 'pearls' of Ronald Koeman since he trains FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona did not doubt to the hour to trust Ronald Koeman like the attendant to lead the new project of the FC Barcelona from the bench. The Dutch liked by several things: for knowing perfectly the philosophy of game of the club, for having been a legend like Barcelona footballer, by his feeling culé... And for having the very clear ideas and reflect them of conclusive form so much in public as privately.

Privately, it spoke with several players to communicate them that it did not have they -as Luis Suárez, Ivan Rakitic, Arturo Vidal or Samuel Umtiti- and with others to explain them his importance in the project, as Leo Messi, Antoine Griezmann, Philippe Coutinho, Sergio Busquets or Jordi Alba. But in public also it was very clear with each one of them.

The arrows of Ronald Koeman

In the first place, it was very clear with Leo Messi​ when the Argentinian began to think in going . "I do not know if I have to convince it so that it remain ", it commented in his presentation, adding that "clear that I want to have it in the team. It would love me work with him because it wins you split. If it takes out the performance of always, very happy that it remain ".

To Luis Suárez also referred of public way, leaving clear that the decision was not alone his. "It seemed that I was the bad of the film and is not like this, from the first day have showed respect by the by the player and by the person that is. He trained to the maximum from the first day. I said him that had difficulty to play, but that if it remained was one more. They are decisions of the club. The entity, before I arrived, already had thought to do things", left to fall.

With the signing of Memphis Depay also left clear his posture. "We want to that it avenges to the FC Barcelona, he also wants to. [...] When you have worked well with a player, have a click with him and think that this also can work here", said, although it recognised that "because of the financial situation of the club, especially because of the control of the federation, is evident that a player has to go before another can come".

Also it spoke on Ousmane Dembélé, to the that left him clear that splits with disadvantage with regard to other mates: "Have a lot of competition up, have a lot of quality. It can play by both bands. Have a lot of players. Ansu Fati Is by in front of Dembélé. If a player is dissatisfied, that speak me. I want happy footballers. If a player does not want to be here, that say it to me. He has not said me at all. I go to have he and at all more".

Besides, it admitted to have recommended to Riqui Puig go yielded. "It is not truth that do not have he. I spoke yesterday with him. I speak with the youngsters, that can not be without playing. I have said him that it has it complicated and that there is a lot of competition. But at all more. I have commented him that has future here, but depends of the player. It would recommend him go yielded. To the 20 years, the youngsters have to play. They can not be stopped during a time", explained.

After the party against the Seville, neither doubted in signalling to Antoine Griezmann and to Frenkie of Jong to demand them more. "By his quality, Griezmann had to have marked any of the two that had", said on the French, whereas on his compatriot, Ronald Koeman regretted that "it has lost too many balloons, has not been fine equal that other mates".
