Ronald Koeman said that nothing changed since his statement. The coach noted that he is still ready to change Barca’s domination for the upcoming years.
First words during the press-conference
Koeman opted to be present and take questions during Saturday’s pre-match press conference after opting to simply read out a statement before walking out of the room prior to Barcelona’s game against Cadiz in midweek. The Dutchman has come under increasing pressure and another disappointing result against Levante on Sunday could spell the end of his time at the Camp Nou, but he revealed that Barcelona president Joan Laporta has said nothing to him about his statement. Nothing has happened since that day. We spoke on the plane about the Cadiz match and that’s all there is to it,” Koeman said during Saturday’s pre-match press conference.
Future of Ronald Koeman and Barcelona
In terms of his future, Koeman admitted that speculation about his future is part of the job. I can’t say much about this subject because I haven’t read the papers for a long time – he commented. I know about the rumours, but the only thing we have to do is win games. There are rumours, name – That’s your job. I’m not going to waste energy on things I can’t control.
Ansu Fati has been included in Barcelona’s squad list to face Levante, but Koeman stressed that he will only play for a maximum of 15 minutes. It is very important [to have him available again], first of all for the player,” Koeman noted. We have a plan and we will follow a plan to get Ansu back to his best. He will go through a process to get minutes. He has been called up and will play a maximum of 15 minutes. The most important thing is to get the player back properly, not to rush things.
