Ronald Koeman does not give LaLiga for loss for him Barcelona. The Dutchman knows that the situation is very complicated, but he does not throw in the towel. The Barça coach acknowledges that his team has serious problems in defense, errors that cost points, but refuses to point out any of his players. For him the failures are everyone’s fault. Tomorrow against Elche, another chance.
“Sometimes they depend on concentration. If you don’t close the game, it’s more difficult. There are things to improve. We have to accept it. We talk about it and the team is good enough to have a good run of results. We are still alive. We have to be more focused “
“I think there are. From behind, with Piqu, Sergi Roberto, Alba, Busquets, Leo on top … there is enough personality. They have to lead the way because they are quality people with a lot of personality. It is important to show young people which way we go “.
“It may be because of a bit of fear when we only have a goal advantage on the scoreboard because it has happened to us before. I have to say that we have had very bad luck. It is not fair either. There is always a moment when it seems that our opponents , with very little, they mark us. We with a lot of possession, many opportunities, but in the end it remains 1-1 “.
“My job is to explain to the players where we failed. I do not like to criticize in the press, inside itself. Outside, you have to protect the players, have good communication. Inside, you can speak clearly.”
“Today, good. Fatal the other day after the game because I feel responsible and think about how to improve. It affects me, but I’m not going to lower my arms. I tell the team that we can. It depends on the next games. We have to serve. all the parties to be able to fight. There is hope and, while there is hope, it is necessary to go by everything “.
“You have to assess the opportunities they have had. Antoine was very effective last month. Ousmane had three or four chances, two great opportunities where you have to score one. We lack effectiveness from midfield up from several players.”
“The problem is not that we did not create. We must ask the players at the top for more effectiveness. We had opportunities. During this season we lack effectiveness. The percentage of scoring is low for a team like Barcelona.”
“It is normal that it has dropped a little, but the good thing about this sport is that you play after three days. If we win tomorrow, we get second and everything is different”
“These are decisions to be made as a coach. Of course, a player has to be convinced and has to show confidence in himself. It also depends on the physical and mental state of each player. Not only for Lenglet. You have to look for the best for him. tomorrow’s game. “
“I think we give young people a lot of opportunities. Nor is it such an important moment of the season, to take more people from below. I always think of young people, to give them opportunities, but to get the chestnuts out of the fire we need the experienced ones. But We already have a lot of young people, there are people of 18 or 19 in the team. We will look for a fresh team, there are tired players. “
“We know what the people are like, it’s normal. I think the result in Paris and the one the other day hurt us. I think the people, the captains, the dressing room, have to create an atmosphere that we go all out.”
“It will not be tomorrow. It is improving, but first you have to do group training to have the feeling of whether or not it will arrive. There are doubts. We have to wait. Maybe by the weekend, next Wednesday … good to give a specific date. It all depends on how I improve. “
You have to ask the players above for more effectiveness “
“We can still win the championship. All the teams are failing. We know we have to come back a game. I am not in favor of thinking that the Cup is more important. I think we can do things in both competitions. There are three vital games now. Complicated , because we have to go back without public. With public it is easier to go back, it is different. “
“It is a moment in which we play a lot. We have to look for energy, which we have had in the last games. I feel disappointed by the points lost at home, but we have to continue with our trajectory. If we fail more, the time will come. to run out of chances to win something “
“I don’t know if this is true because until I talk to the new president, I can’t say anything. I don’t know. We have to wait until it is known who the new president is. He will be the one who has to shape the future of the coach, of the team … see the possibilities that there are. I wait for the day 8 “.
“This is not the time to talk about other players. We are playing important games. This may be part of the future of the club, of the future president. We have to focus on the remaining games, concentrate on what is important.”
Lenglet has to improve things, like any player “
“I spoke with him this morning. He is serious, a very good professional, who takes this very personally. It is a play in which he can do better and it is true that he has been in some moments in which we have committed mistakes, but we have also committed them in attack and with other players. At 2-0, a play in the last minute is not so decisive. Nor can he assume that the whole problem is his. He has to improve things, like any player. “
“You have to analyze the state of the team, the physique and the confidence of each player. In the previous game we made mistakes, but it is not fair to go after a player or a defender alone. We were able to sentence the game, we had many chances to score. The effectiveness is not what a team like Barcelona has to have. “
“He looks like a confident opponent, who comes from winning. He is fighting not to go down. It is a difficult game. I don’t know if they will play as far back as the Cadiz the other day. It depends a lot on ourselves, our game with the ball, and defend well in important moments “.
