After his suspension, Barça coach Ronald Koeman gave his point of view on the rest of the season and refuses to surrender: “La Liga are very close, but we are struggling to finish well. We will try to give our maximum in the next matches. We have to survive , analyze and prepare the matches. There are fewer and fewer and we are very close to the end. “
“We are still in the same position in the standings after the draws. (…) If we win on Tuesday, we will be leaders and we will put the pressure on, ”he said, referring to the draws of Barça against Atlético, and Real Madrid against Sevilla.
“Against Atlético we didn’t start well, we struggled to press and they created more chances. In the second half we were better and we had our opportunities. It was a great and hotly contested game. We played against a strong opponent both defensively and physically, ”he explained to justify the draw against the leader.
“We played with two 18-year-olds in the midfield. We have to analyze everything, not just the result. We have won one title, we are fighting for another … We must always try to improve,” said the Dutchman continued.
Koeman was also asked about the arbitration controversy that took place between Real Madrid and Sevilla: “I’m not in the best position to talk about this after what happened. Myself, I don’t know when there is a hand and when there is no hand. Coaches and players do not know exactly when there is a hand. Sometimes there is a penalty, sometimes not … “
“I get very nervous when I watch the other games, so I watched 20 minutes of Real Madrid-Sevilla, then I zapped on Juventus-Milan so as not to suffer, “he confessed.
