BarcelonaThe Barça coach was pleased with the victory against Getafe, although he acknowledged that the team’s game was not brilliant and is far from the good image given in the match against Real Sociedad in the first match of the season. “It has been a complicated home game where we have been able to suffer. Our ball game has been inferior to other occasions, such as last year, when in matches like these we were tied and even won. Psychologically it’s a big step because we’ve been able to suffer and play to win, ”he said.
Koeman wanted to highlight the work done by the youngsters in the match. The role of Gavi and Nico has been key in the second half, as thanks to them “our positioning with the ball has been better; I am very happy with their game and their personality on the grass, given the his youth “. In fact, the young man from La Masia Gavi wanted to thank the coach for the opportunity and recalled: “Since I was a child I wanted to make my debut at the Camp Nou, and today I was able to do it. Now I am the happiest child in the world. “. “I was a little nervous, but I tried to do it as well as I could,” admitted the young 17-year-old promise after the match.

The Dutchman also took advantage of the press conference to highlight the request he already made before the match: the squad needs to be shortened. “We will talk about it tomorrow [amb el club], because this situation is not good for us, for the club, for the players or for me as a coach. There are players who have no future at this club. It is a very complicated situation and I would like to talk and decide, because in four days it will be late, “stressed the coach. In addition to the exits, reinforcements are needed.” There are three days left to close the market and hopefully we can strengthen the staff, because we need it. But if that is not possible, we will continue to work with what we have, “Koeman confessed, aware of the club’s difficult financial situation.
