Ronald Koeman was captured by Movistar + cameras, in an image that will give much to talk about and that could lead to a penalty. The Dutch coach approached the referee, the result of the penalty awarded to Cristiano Ronaldo, and said: “You have good friends in Italy”. After the game, he gave his impression of the performance of his team:
What happened?: “I think that a large part of our defeat has come in the first 25 or 30 minutes of the game. We have entered the game badly, with fear. Without aggressiveness. We have entered the game not to lose it instead of to control it. We have not been well, not even in the positions. Then we improved. I think we lost the game in the first half hour. “
Which one do you take on as a coach? Griezmann says that the fault of his players: “As a coach, I try to prepare for the game and how the team has to come out. We have talked before the game about putting the team together. But for that we have to win battles, one against one. We have left spaces and you can also discuss penalties. The first is not a penalty. If not, you also have to whistle Messi's. But it was our fault. “
Were the changes to protect your players?: “Alba and Lenglet had a card and, in addition, we have a tight schedule. And I think Umtiti's entry has been positive. We have not been at our level but the trajectory in the Champions League has been good.”
What happened to the Juve bench?: “They asked Lenglet for a card. I think it's not clean and it's not part of my football philosophy.”
Like the Champions will not be able to compete Barça?: “Yes we can. We have played two games and we have to see the team. This is a lesson we have to learn.”
