"The situation of the club is very sad": Ronald Koeman does not 'forget' Barça

The ex trainer of the FC Barcelona, Ronald Koeman, has reappeared in front of the media of the City Condal during the second edition of the Koeman Cup of golf, whose profits are allocated to the Cruyff Fundation in his twentieth fifth anniversary. The neerlandes, that from January will go back to take the reins of the bench of Low Countries, has spoken on the current situation of the Barça, with several 'darts' to Joan Laporta.

It was questioned, in principle, by how sees to the Barça of Xavi, especially now that have accumulated three consecutive defeats in the Camp Nou, something that never had happened in the history of the club. Koeman Has stood out that "it is truth that the situation of the Barça, of the team, of the club, is the same that when it was I. This wants to say that change a trainer no always is something that means that better. The only that ask is that they give the support to Xavi. A trainer is not the culprit. That they give him the support that I have not had", asked.

"Xavi is not guilty that the Barça was in this situation".

Likewise, it expects that Joan Laporta have learnt and support at all times to Xavi: "I Expect that the president have learnt of this and that give the support to Xavi. The situation of the club gives a lot of penalty because it hurts me. I follow living in Barcelona; I go to be seleccionador of Holland from January. But I ask the maximum support for Xavi because it is a legend, somebody of the house. And it is not guilty that the Barça was in this situation".

On the references that has done the trainer of Terrassa on if the Barça has lost his philosophy in the last years, stood out that it does not give by alluded. Koeman Aimed that "it can not blame to a person or to a trainer. There are more ways to win. In my period win the Glass with a big football. Nowadays, the movements of the players can be with three or four defences", adding that "the truth is that today the Barça can not fichar to the best of the world. All saw the party of the City and the party of the Liverpool. They are a lot better. And of this is not guilty a trainer. There are a lot of reasons. I do not go to answer where would be. The where does not exist, because I did not have this support by part of the club. And ojalá that have it Xavi".

'Dardo' to Joan Laporta and improvement of the Barça

On the maltreatment that received by part of the president of the club, Joan Laporta and the fault of support that had by part of the club: "it would like me say a thing. I have felt that in other clubs and in two years like seleccionador of Holland, know exactly the risk to be trainer if the things do not work like the club thinks", aimed, explaining that "but to me, that does not like me in my personal subject, that by part of the president leaves doubts exteriormente, Off the record say: "I do not know if it follows". This does not need it a trainer. Even if they throw you, inwardly you can argue. But exteriormente have to support it. I do not want to say more on this subject".

The one of Zaandam has aimed that considers that the Barça himself has improved, especially by the signings, but does not consider that it is positive to compare the conditions in which it was his Barça and the one who has now Xavi Hernández, although yes it has remembered that to the moment of his exit the team was to eight points of the Real Madrid and now to the double of units and with zero possibilities of recortar the distances in the leadership.

"When I was me, the Barça was to eight points of the Madrid. Now they are almost the double".

In concrete, the Dutch has aimed that have improved with Xavi, mainly, because "they have fichado three forwards that can play up. But it is not well compare. When I was me, the Barça was to eight points of the Madrid. Now they are almost the double. The task of Xavi is equal of complicated like which have I. It is the situation of the club. It does not do lacking mentir. If it has lost the last parties home is by something. That is the reality of the Barça and it is necessary to accept it. And it is necessary to support because the Barça goes to need time. Therefore I ask tranquility. Not saying, "hostias, have not won titles". It is necessary to put confidence and give him support to the trainer. I am Dutch and give the face".

Balance and note to his stage in the Camp Nou

On which has been, after all the problems that lived in the Camp Nou, the balance of his stage, has commented that "the first is that I can write a book. They have happened a lot of things. Dificilísimo By the subject COVID, there was not president during a time, could not fichar to the players that have... The subject fair-play complicated", justifying that "of a day to another day, remain us without Messi. And all know what has done and the one who is the best of the world... They have criticised me a lot by Luuk of Jong, that for me, when you need a nine, is important. And less bad that it ficharon, has won six points".

It has left clear that does not feel that fracasó in the Camp Nou, because to final of accounts achieved a title (Glass of Rey) after a season in which the Barça had remained in white: "I do not seat me a trainer that has fracasado. We fail the day of the Granada the first season. But we win the Glass. If you win something, is not a failure", sentenced.
