Ronald Koeman was more than satisfied with the resounding victory (4-0) against Osasuna that brings them closer to the top positions of the table, but above all because important players, such as Antoine Griezmann, begin to offer green shoots. Regarding Lenglet's injury, he assured that “it looks like it's not serious” and about Mingueza's performance, “he's young and he still has things to learn.”
Was this victory very important?
I am very happy for the win because we needed these three points. We want to fight for the title and without winning it is impossible. I am also very happy with the result because we have scored four goals and there could have been many more.
Until he has scored the first goal, it has cost the team …
Osasuna is a team that works well on defense with five behind. We had to have a good rhythm on the ball if we wanted to score and play a lot on their field.
Griezmann has been seen very happy today, what do you think?
It has been very well. Playing with a lot of freedom. He gave an assist and scored a great goal. He is the player we want, who fights and works. He looks more liberated on the field and that is positive.
Did you know that Messi had this special tribute to Maradona in store?
I did not know that Messi had prepared this celebration. It was a nice gesture and a great moment. First the play and then to make sense of it. Very complete moment in every way.
We have seen him at the end of the game talking to Mingueza, what did he say to him?
I told him that he played a good game, but he lost two balls and it can't be. You have to know that a center-back can make a great game, but two mistakes like this can blur the whole game. He is young and has to improve.
Take out what Lenglet has already?
I have spoken to the doctor. It seems that it is not very serious, but I do not know if it will arrive for the game on Wednesday.
How do you see LaLiga?
We are still in a complicated situation because we are behind in the table. We cannot fail more. It is a very long season and a lot can happen.
