MADRID, 27 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The FC Barcelona coach, Ronald Koeman, described as “incredible” that they lost this Wednesday to Rayo Vallecano and made it clear both that the score did not seem “fair” and that his team had shown to be “at a good level”.
“We have found a team that has put a lot of pressure on us, but I think we were superior and seeing the opportunities that we have had and those that they have had, the result has not been fair, but we cannot change it,” Koeman remarked on the wheel of press after the game.
The Blaugrana coach, who settled with “I don’t know” the question about whether this result would affect his future on the bench, believes that his team “has shown today and against Real Madrid to be at a good level.” “But it is not enough, what counts is the result and there are two lost games, although it is incredible that we lost today,” he reiterated.
“The game we have lost is not by attitude or by game, I think they have not had a team in front of them that has given them so many opportunities, it has been a matter of not scoring,” added the Dutchman, who recalled that he has “players who can Score goals”. “Aguero has always been a scorer and Memphis has been scoring between 15 and 20 goals for years,” he warned.
For Koeman, being so low in the rankings already means they are not “doing well.” “The team has lost its balance in the squad, we have lost very effective players and in recent years the teams at the top have strengthened and we have not been able to and that counts, not in this game because despite the losses we have made a good game, “he said.
In this sense, he did not want to comment on whether all the teams that are now ahead of him in the standings have a better squad. “I don’t know, I don’t know their players well, but it is true that they have more balanced squads, it may be more physical, but we have shown in several games this season that we can compete with them. It may also be that we have bad luck, injuries, but they are excuses, “he said.
Finally, the FC Barcelona coach does not give up the League. “There are many games ahead. Of course I am concerned about our game because we have created and played at a good level, but that in Spain does not count because it is 1-0,” he said.
