The Dutch coach highlighted that he feels ‘very comfortable with the work we are doing and we are trying to change things about the team’ in an interview with Sport, L’Esportiu and Mundo Deportivo
Koeman took advantage of the break for international matches to review the team’s progress in an interview with Sport, L’Esportiu and Mundo Deportivo. The Barça coach highlighted the good work that is being done and the team’s improvements. Below are some highlights from the interview.
Leo Messi
“Messi has shown me to be an ambitious person, who always wants to win things, who wants to continue being the best.”
“Barça has been, is and will be a better team with Messi than without him.”
Ansu Fati’s injury
“Ansu’s injury is a big blow. We will be without a good player on the wing for some time, one who has given some great performances. We must accept it, giving opportunities to other players.”
Pedri
“The player who has surprised me the most is Pedri. I knew that Barça had signed him from Las Palmas and had seen images of how he played, but I don’t think anyone expected his improvement and career so far. At 17 years old, he is playing and training with the the best footballers at Barça and should be happy.”
