Ronald Koeman and Roberto Soldado had them during the game that Barcelona played in Granada this past wednesday. The forward did not sit well with the effusiveness with which the Dutch coach celebrated his team’s goals in extra time and that meant the classification for the semifinals of the Copa del Rey. The Granada substitutes, among whom was Soldado, having been substituted in the 66th minute, did not like the celebration of the components of the culé bench and they reproached him. As can be seen in some images that it collects four sports, Soldier insulted Koeman. The sequence shows how the event unfolds. It all starts with the Dutchman celebrating his team’s triumph and heading to the stands. “He is a moron, he is a moron,” said Soldier, who also snapped at him: “You are a clown, you lack humility.”

Not only did the substitute players maintain verbal scuffles, but the components of the technical bodies also got into each other and the proof of this is that the referee expelled Jesús Pérez and Alfred Schreuder. “In minute 85, coach Pérez López, Jesús was expelled for the following reason: Protest in an ostensible way, getting up, shouting and raising his arms from his position in the stands, after having been previously warned,” said Sánchez Martínez, who He also showed the red to Koeman’s assistant: «In the 113th minute, coach Schreuder, Albertus was sent off for the following reason: Leaving his technical area in celebration of a goal, gesturing to provoke the local bench». This was one of the actions that most upset Granada, who had the qualification in his hand and escaped after winning 2-0 in the 88th minute. Griezmann and Jordi Alba they forced extra time, and these same two players together with De Jong certified the pass to the semifinals.

It is not the first encounter between Koeman and Soldier. On January 9, in a league match, Barça took the lead with a goal in which the Andalusians claimed offside. The protagonist of the action was Soldier, who protested strongly until provoking the reaction of Koeman, who berated him. In exchange of impressions it was maintained throughout the first part. In fact, different information assured that Koeman waited for the striker in the locker room tunnel with the intention of continuing with the discussion, although it did not go to major.
