This week, there has been wild speculation about whether or not Koeman will be in Barcelona. The Dutchman has been criticized for the sporting results in both the league and the Champions League.
In the away match against Cádiz, the team had a noticeably difficult time creating hot goal chances, and the first half was goalless.
In the second half, the important game engine Frenkie de Jong got his second yellow and was shown in the 65th minute of the match. A real setback for Barça who were forced to end the match with one man less.
– It is a game on the ball and then a tackle on the player. I can think it’s a little harsh. It’s one thing if it’s a real stamp. But we repeat, I think you see that the warning, the other one, is a bit harsh, says C More’s commentator Christopher Kviborg.
After the red card, it was the home team that was on for a winning goal. Barcelona got a good free kick position in the final minutes and moved the team up. However, Coutinho made a spectacular save.
– It is a player who is completely icy cold, commented Kviborg.
Memphis Depay was just inches from saving Koeman and Barcelona in the final minute. The striker came free but the finish was just outside the far post and the match ended goalless. In the closing seconds, Koeman was also sent off after protesting against a verdict.
It is clear that the team has lagged behind in La Liga, and speculation about Koeman’s future will not diminish after the goalless meeting.
Barcelona is seventh in La Liga, a full seven points behind rival Real Madrid, which tops the table with its 16 points.
