El former FC Barcelona player Junior Firpo has given an interview on the program Qu T’hi Jugues, on Cadena SER, in which he harshly criticized the former Barça coach, Ronald Koeman, with whom he met during the last year before leaving for the Leeds United.
“I lost my enthusiasm for football and realized the importance of family. There were things with Koeman that I did not understand, and at certain times they appeared disrespectful to me and my colleagues. I don’t understand that the day after a game, when the substitutes were training, he would stay in his living room. If I’m a substitute and I have to show you things … “, says the Spanish side.
Never understand that after a game, when the substitutes train, Koeman would stay in his living room
On his sporting situation and his role in the squad, Firpo acknowledges that he came to speak with Koeman to ask for an explanation. “I ask him, and he begins to lie to me. At that point, why would I keep asking him … He tells me things that don’t make sense, like that I train badly, that I contaminate the group … Ask who you want, to see if any of the squad tells you the same about me“, bill.
“I don’t know what it means that I contaminate the group, I suppose it means my attitude. I don’t know in what way a young boy who has just arrived is going to contaminate a group that has won everything. and they have been there all their lives. My opinion is not going to change their way of training at all or absolutely nothing, “he adds.
Let’s not see videos of the rival, neither with Valverde, nor Quique nor with Koeman
He also spoke of the technician’s task to prepare for training sessions and games. Now that he is with Marcelo Bielsa, he says that they are two “antagonistic” situations. “Let’s not see videos of the rival, neither with Valverde, nor Quique nor with Koeman. Have we ever seen something concrete from a rival. With Bielsa we see a lot, it is from one extreme to another and there must be a middle ground “.
