Jules Koundé was one of the voices in the FC Barcelona locker room who was yet to give his opinion on the already well-known criticism of attitude towards the locker room by Ilkay Gündogan. Something that the Frenchman has not avoided and has given his impressions about it
Ilkay Gündoğan, after showing autocrítico in the defeat in front of the Real Madrid and sue a change of attitude in the team, generated an authentic stir in all and sundry. Given the context of the actuality of the Barça, in which they won a party by the minimum in front of the Real Sociedad (0-1) and could not surpass to the Shakhtar Donetsk in Hamburg (0-1), his statements seem to have not lost force.
Apropos this, Jules Koundé, the one who previous to the meeting in front of the Ukrainians already aseveraba a rotundo: "we Know that we have to improve" and it was one of the culés that had not pronounced on the statements of the midfield player germano, after the bitter defeat in front of the 'Mining', began expressing the following: "The statement of Gündogan? We have received well the statement. There is not disagreement".
A necessary catchword for the changing room of the Barça
The French defender puntualizó that the aim of the message understood properly in the changing room, limiting: "What wanted to say is that we do not have to accustom us to the defeat, especially in this type of parties", subtracting gravity to the form in which 'Gündo' gave to know his dissatisfaction. It recognised that no all the world reacts the same, adding: "Some people show it more, others save more the things for inside, but all have disappointed us".
With this statement in backrest to Ilkay Gündoğan, Jules Koundé turns into one of the so many voices that second the ideal that it has to have a change of mentality, beginning by Xavi, the one who recognised that the team is "blocked mentally", or Marc André Ter Stegen with his "carry two parties that are not good", or Joãor Cancel with a "the sportive feelings are not good". All are clamours of a changing room touched and that it has to recomponerse quickly if it does not want to lose him stepped to the leaders of LaLiga and put in risk his ticket to the eighth of the Champions League.
