Jakarta –
Ronald de Boer comment on the situation in Barcelona, which he once defended. Specifically regarding coaches Ronald Koeman, compatriot and president Joan Laporta.
Koeman’s future at Barcelona is being speculated. Even though only last summer the Dutch coach was appointed to handle the Catalan club.
Barcelona announced Ronald Koeman as its coach on August 19, 2020, to replace Quique Setién, who had only been an entrepreneur for Los Cules for seven months. Koeman is contracted until 30 June 2022.
However, not a few consider travel Barcelona under Koeman’s direction was not impressive. Whereas in the eyes of Ronald De Boer, who won LaLiga with El Barca in 1998/1999, Koeman has worked well.
“[Koeman] know that he came there [Barcelona] at a difficult moment,” said Ronald de Boer to Marca.
“The departure of a player like Luis Suarez has an impact on the dressing room, especially [Lionel] Messi, but the team was still able to win the Copa del Rey. Unfortunately, they had a chance [juara Liga Spanyol] but no longer competing in LaLiga in the last week.”
“Someone’s blaming him [Koeman] and said he was responsible, but Koeman had made Barcelona feel confident again, something that was not there before. He made them believe again that they could beat anyone and Messi was back to his best. He [Koeman] has worked well.”
Ronald de Boer increasingly unable to understand the treatment that Ronald Koeman received from Joan Laporta, president Barcelona elected on March 7, 2021.
“I don’t understand what’s going on. Laporta He’s a nice person, but it’s also strange that he acts like that,” said De Boer.
“In my opinion, asking a coach to wait 15 days while keeping an open mind is unprofessional and arrogant. I think Ronald It’s not worth it. “
“I don’t know if he will continue, it seems that is the only option. The situation is unusual, it is not the best way to handle this kind of situation. We just hope he stays and continues to prove himself. He deserves it,” he said.
