The situation at Barça is about to explode. So much so that the coach of the first team, Ronald Koeman resigned from appearing at a press conference prior to the game against Cádiz tomorrow to limit himself to reading a statement.
In his presence, a very serious Koeman put on his glasses to ask for confidence in the youth, ensure that he has the confidence of the board, thank the fans for their support and lower the team's sporting expectations to look good in LaLiga and forget about the Champions League, whose success he described as a miracle.
The coach's initiative was unilateral and not agreed with the club's communication department, which was as surprised as the media present in the room. Only the captains, moments before reading the statement, were informed of this initiative of the technician.
The technician's statement was as follows:
“The club is with me as a coach in a reconstruction situation. The sporting situation is linked to financial circumstances and vice versa, and that means that the club and the squad have to be rebuilt without being able to make large investments, and that takes time.
Young talents can be world stars in a couple of years. The good thing is that young people will have opportunities like Xavi and Iniesta, but patience is required.
Being in a high ranking in LaLiga would also be a success.
In the Champions League you cannot expect miracles. Europe is a good school. The defeat against Bayern must be approached from that perspective.
The process in which we find ourselves in the template deserves to be unconditionally supported in words and deeds. Support the technical policy and the process that we are carrying out.
I know that the press recognizes this process. It is not the first time in history that this has happened. We count on your support in these difficult times. We as a squad are very happy with the great support of the fans like the one we had against Granada.
