Ronald Koeman he congratulated the team, “the key to victory has been our game without the ball”, although it gave him room to put some but, “when we recover the ball we have to be deeper”.
How have you seen the game?
I have seen the team very focused. It is true that it was difficult for us to create, but defensively they were very good. We have continued to press with 0-1. They have only had one very clear chance and it has come because of our fault. Luckily, Ter Stegen has been perfect. The key to victory has been the game without the ball. You have to improve when we steal the ball, have more depth. We are just victors.
Why has Dembélé changed?
We were risking too much and we had to have more ball.
What did you think of Riqui Puig's goal?
Riqui Puig has jumped well and, above all, has reached the area that is where we want the midfielders. I like this attitude of Riqui. Despite not having minutes, he enjoys when he goes out to play. It's not a problem for me
Can you tell which are the two penalty shooters if Messi is not there?
I will not say. Number one is Messi.
Does it give them for LaLiga if they continue with this streak?
The key is to have the concentration that we have had today. I've seen a strong and intense team
Have you already found the starting midfield?
We have found a midfield with the clearest ideas. Pjanic and Riqui can also play there. But it is true that Busquets, Pedri and De Jong have made the midfield clearer.
Did you see your team tired at the end?
It may be that at the end of the game we were more tired. There has only been one very big failure, but overall we have been very good.
Are you worried about the absence of Busquets due to a suspension against Athletic?
We'll see how I'll fix it. First there is the game against Rayo.
