🗣️| Koeman: "It is true that last season we won against them, but today they are a better team. Tomorrow we will risk our future in the Champions League. After losing two games, we have to win." #FCB
🗣️| Koeman: "If we want to go to the next phase, we have no choice but to win points. We are very clear about what we have to do." #FCB
🗣️| Koeman: "Approach? Like any game. We will put the best team possible knowing the physical situation of some players. We also have a suspension, that of Eric Garcia." #FCB
🗣️| Koeman: "Competing in the Champions League? Competing, yes. But we cannot be required to win the Champions League. Recovering the injured will help us. Those who have reappeared are not yet at their highest level, but they are on the right track." #FCB
🗣️| Koeman: "There are very experienced players who have to set an example in these games. In addition, the youngsters have shown that they can withstand the pressure of playing for Barça." #FCB
🗣️| Koeman continues: "They have already played important matches, with us and with their national teams. It's not a question of lack of experience." #FCB
🗣️| Koeman: "We have to continue on the line from the other day. We played a great first half. The team was at the level we demanded, but there is room to improve different things." #FCB
🗣️| Koeman: "Rotations? The next game is always the most important, but we will think about the physical situation of some players. It is impossible for Ansu Fati to play three full games in seven days." #FCB
🗣️| Koeman: "Coutinho? He has been injured for a long time and has to improve physically. He has quality and there is competition in the midfield. He is an important player for the next games." #FCB
🗣️| Koeman: "My future? It all depends on the results. A coach can never be calm. We are also in a country, in which these things are more exaggerated." #FCB
🗣️| Koeman: "Difference between La Liga and Champions League? The big teams have improved a lot and Barça has lowered their level in the last four years." #FCB
🗣️| Koeman continues: "I can only give my opinion since I arrived, but it is clear that there are teams that today have balance in their squad, that they have 23 internationals, with a better economy than ours... and everything influences." #FCB
🗣️| Koeman: "Dani Alves? Nobody from the club has talked to me about this possibility. I prefer not to comment." #FCB
🗣️| Koeman: "Ansu Fati's renewal? They are close. It is very important news, we are talking about a young player of great quality. He is one of those who can mark the future of this club." #FCB
That concluded Koeman's press conference. End of thread.
