Barcelona Must End the Season Disappointed

DBasia.news – Barcelona must be willing to end the 2020-21 season disappointingly. Even though he was able to win 1-0 over Eibar in the closing match, the result was not easy. And of course, finishing in third is not the desired outcome.

With this season’s achievements, it’s no wonder Ronald Koeman’s future as Barcelona coach is on the brink. Even so, Koeman still believes he will still survive.

Koeman assessed that the results achieved this season were more due to the level of the team that was not what he wanted.

“This squad was already there when I arrived. The only player who was brought in was Sergino Dest. The squad was not completely at the level desired,” Koeman said as quoted by Marca.

“Many parties at the club think the same. We want to improve the team. There are senior players who have shown themselves at the level of playing for the team, and younger players who need experience to become better players.”

“To get better, we have to be more effective. We scored a lot of goals, but the percentage of opportunities we took was lower than it should have been at Barcelona,” explained Koeman.

Regarding future plans, Koeman believes he is still given confidence. Even so, Koeman said Barcelona needed to make changes.

“We have a young team that is already developing. This is a positive thing. If the club wants to make changes, they have to talk to me.”
