Koeman: “The fourth official disrespected me”

Do you have something to reproach your players?

I don't have to blame them for anything. We have done the maximum. You had to be at the top of the concentration issue. Seeing the two goals, I think we left space and we should have cut the ball. In those two or three plays, we haven't been doing well defensively.

Now they no longer depend on themselves.

It is a hard blow, we are disappointed. And, starting tomorrow, we have to go ahead and try to win the last five games in order to be champions. But this is the same for us as it is for others.

Why did you see the red one?

I do not get it. According to Carles Naval, I have disrespected the fourth official. I have not said anything bad about the fourth official. I haven't insulted him or anything. It's incredible that they get my red card, but if he wants to be the star of the night, thank you.

But what did he say?

Let's see, I don't know. I don't know what they are going to put in the minutes. But if they say things that I haven't said, I'll have to do something.

Was he angry with himself, with someone?

There were some plays and he has answered me in a way that has been disrespectful to me. If you don't insult, he doesn't understand what disrespect is. Again, I don't get it.

And that has not happened?

We'll see.
