Ronald Koeman

[messi2140]

Koeman: "Frenkie De Jong has not been playing at his best position here. With me, he played closer to the defense. We will do the best for him."

This is actually really good to hear. Thankfully no more Fdj in that water carrier role (If he obviously isn't bullshitting)

Music to my ears

Koeman: "Suarez? I won't talk about individual players here, out of respect."

Then talks about FDJ.

 

[messi2140]

Koeman: "It is time to play youngsters who are deserving. We need to play with more intensity."

Unfortunately this statement lost all it's meaning. Valverde said it and Setien aswell. Just have to wait and see on this one.

 

[Devils]

Just said De Jong hasn't played his right position here.

whew!

 

[Messi983]

Then talks about FDJ.

Well, it's a different situation.

"You have to be very happy to wear the Barcelona shirt. You have to show commitment. If you do that, you won't have results like last week"

 

[Messigician]

Link to the press conference in English or Greek?

 

[Devils]

Koeman: "Luis Su?rez? I don't like talking about names, Messi is different. To the others, if there are positive or negative decisions, the first thing is to talk to them, I'm not going to talk about them here, out of respect for the players."

Suarez is finished.

 

[messi2140]

Solid press conference , but unfortunately we have heard similiar things from previous coaches. They ultimately tell you the things you want to hear. Guess we will see in 3 weeks if he is a man of his words.

All this sweet talk will result in nothing.. Koeman can push the oldies to the bench but who will he play? Those players will not leave while sitting on fat contracts. Maybe.. And just maybe vidal because he has a year left and can negociate something better for him elsewhere.

We have no striker and suarez knows this. The moment we bench him and we play bad because we are missing a striker the good old suarez will be on the field again. Same bullshit as before. Also he is the best buddy of messi and they will try to keep him happy.

His presence is already more than Valverde + Setien x 10.

Whether he is successful or not remains to be seen, but you can't deny it's good to have an actual heavyweight heading our dugout. He's in the mould of LVG, Rijkaard, Pep, and Lucho and not a no namer like Setien, EV, or Tata.

 

[KingLeo10]

In general, the yes men are those for whom coaching Barca is the only relevant thing they've done in their life.

All the others I mentioned, including Koeman, have already made their mark on football.

Koeman and Barto's comments are giving me a mixed vibe. I think people are going to be disappointed with the rebuild they're envisioning.
