Ronald Koeman stars in a documentary that opens next Wednesday in the Netherlands. The Barcelona coach accepted a camera to follow him the day he flew to Barcelona to sign his contract as a new coach. In the advance issued by the Captains production company, the former Dutch coach gives his vision about Pedri, the future of Leo Messi (by then undecided) or the quality of the squad. The audiovisual document does not end there. There are more words collected, once the season started.
Pedri: “There is one, his name is Pedri, signed from Las Palmas. I don't know him but they say it must be the new Laudrup, the new Iniesta. I don't know him. We'll see, he's the greatest talent in all of Spain.”
Messi: “I want to continue with him. I want him to stay as the best in the world that he is. But he has to know that there will be changes, although I will not say names yet. We are going to give opportunities to young people. He has to decide if he wants to continue with our ideas. He has to say whether or not to continue. “
After the victory against Betis: “Messi is a giant, thank goodness we have him. Against Betis the difference looked very good. When he enters, our team transforms, his teammates cling to him and the rival is afraid”.
How your signing was managed: “I am sure that there are things that happen because they are directed from above. I am on the path of what I have always wanted.”
