The Dutch also spoke on his continuity in the Barcelona bench and the state of players like Gerard Hammered and Leo Messi, two key pieces for the group blaugrana.

Koeman Has begun affirming that it is conscious that so much the Barça like the Athletic have suffered to arrive to the final of the Glass and that recognises that the 'lions' are very competitive and that thus "we have to be well with and without balloon. If there is an appearance that in the last parties have lost is the game without balloon".

Regarding the approach for the final, has not wanted to hint and ensured that "it always is the same", but that it can be with three or four defences. What himself ensured is that they go to try dominate the party and "find players, arrive by band, create opportunities and especially the moment after losing the balloon it is necessary to be well", underlined the trainer culé.

Koeman Has left clear that, when you play thrice against the same team "there are not a lot of secrets", but that know that the Bilbao of Marcelino is "a fighting team, strong with unemployed balloon, is to look for our arms and brake his arms, is the most important" and that thus "we need to all the players well".

"We have to be to our best level to be able to win".

Regarding the necessary intensity to win the party, Koeman left clear that "does not do lacking to motivate to the players because have a lot of experience in playing finals, know what have to do but it is necessary to put energy when we do not have balloon, react later, can be by the subject of the stop. It is not an excuse, have to be to our best level to be able to win".

How they are I Hammered and Messi before the final?

The good news for the FC Barcelona is that everything aims to that Gerard Hammered is recovered and that it could play in front of the Athletic in The Cartuja. "I hammered it was summoned but arrived just for the Real Madrid, only with three trainings. It has trained without problems and yes that it can play tomorrow", highlighted.

On a motivation 'extra' of Leo Messi of face to the final, Koeman expressed that "I do not see it especially motivated, Leo is a big player, professional in every day of training, always gives the maximum and wants to improve. It knows to prepare for important parties but he also goes to give the maximum to raise the Glass", sentenced.

His continuity in the Barça

The technical director Dutch burst after being questioned constantly on his future in the club if it does not win the Glass of Rey. "It is odd to have to answer questions on my future, if I lose a party have to speak my future. I do not agree, I will have to accept it. I have to do my work, have a year more than agreement, know what can happen if I win and if I lose, accept my work like trainer, is a big pleasure. Sometimes it is odd", aimed.

To his time, explained that it does not need a ratification of Joan Laporta, president of the club, because they already have spoken previously and the mandator has transmitted him his whole confidence of face to the future, signalling that "I know where am and know that it is necessary to win things in spite of the things, of the economic situation, are to play a final and to win it, this is the important".
