Ronald Koeman appeared in front of the press on Wednesday and the press did not hesitate to take the opportunity to ask him about the European Super League. The project failed miserably, although no one has officially spoken to FC Barcelona at this time. The coach did not want to give too much of his opinion, although he admitted that he will always want the best for Barça.
“I talked to the president and he explained the club’s position to me. There have been so many moves that it’s best not to comment. Nobody knows what can happen and you have to wait. I want the best for the club. I don’t know if the players asked. I don’t care, we will play a match tomorrow “, he commented, referring to the Catalans’ match against Getafe, on Thursday, at Camp Nou.
The coach specified that, despite the fact that no one from the club came out to talk about this topic, the Barcelona spokesperson is still Joan Laporta and he is the one who has to comment on the Superliga. “I am not the spokesperson, I am the president. My task is to prepare the party. There is so much movement with this issue that we have to wait for this issue to end. I am not surprised. We want the best for the club. If there is anyone who should talk about this, it is clear the president“he insisted.
Zaandam repeated several times that he did not want to talk more about the tournament, although he gave up that he is in line with Gerard Piqué. The central defender was against the competition and in favor of the fans, which his coach agrees with. “I do not want to talk about this subject. There are so many “moves” that I prefer to wait. I personally agree with Piqué’s tweet“, indicated the.
He also clarified that the mess with the Superliga will not affect the players in the duel against Getafe. “I disagree. The players want to win titles, I have no doubt in my players. We’ll be fine in tomorrow’s match. “In addition, to finish, the Dutch manager charged hard against UEFA and LaLiga, who were surprisingly proclaimed saviors of football, which Ronald does not agree with.
Koeman, very harsh in his speech against UEFA and LaLiga
“The number of games is incredible. They had to play a lot of competitions. Everyone talks about the Super League, about the Champions … but UEFA doesn’t pay attention to the players on the number of matches. The only thing they care about is money. In LaLiga as well, we will play tomorrow at 22:00. You have to protect the players, “he said, adding that football needs to improve a lot and that organizations should respond to the demands of sports professionals.
