Barcelona As much as he acknowledged his “disappointment”, there was not much room for self-criticism.
“Missing two points that could not be missed is very disappointing,” said the Dutch coach, who admitted that he is “very, very disappointed. Maybe more than on Tuesday, because we were running well in the championship, we could reduce the distance. “We didn’t find many problems in the game and you have to win. We didn’t manage to condemn the victory.”
This was Koeman’s main regret, who denied that statistically equality would be final. “” I don’t think it’s unforgivable. It is a great missed opportunity to reduce the distance and shows that you have to be good to win. We controlled without problems and let two points escape “, he said, stating that” it is not possible that we lost five points with Cádiz “.
“I don’t like blaming individual players. I dominated the game a lot, the opponent defended a lot in the back, I didn’t live up to the attack, but we had the opportunity to score the second and we know that with a short marker there can be a moment for rival … You have to know how to defend yourself differently “agreed the coach, who did not want to discuss the justice of the penalty that caused the final draw nor to load the ink on Lenglet.
“I saw the penalty game, yes. I think it’s very questionable, but it can be whistled,” he said, although he pointed out in a way about the French center when he explained that “as is the situation and how is the game, I don’t know if the defense would risk going to the ball at that moment, I don’t think so … “.
“After the last few days he let two points escape today is very negative. But to be here, to be a player or a coach, you have to show that you can do something,” Koeman revolted, rejecting, in any case, that the championship is doomed. .
“I don’t see the league more complicated than before due to the difference in points. No team is unbeatable and will not win all the games. There are still options and, although we missed two important points, we have to keep going,” he said.
Self-critical for Barça’s pace and level of play? Nothing.
