Koeman: “We believe in the comeback”

Ronald Koeman he spoke at the end of the game in the press room.

Why has the drawing changed and why has Dembélé been the forward?

We have changed the system. Above all, to try to pressure Sevilla well. We have not left Sevilla alone with the ball and we have taken advantage of Dembélé's speed. The first goal was a demonstration of what we wanted. The key has been not to let Sevilla play. Be aggressive. It was a very complete game.

What impact does it have for Wednesday?

We believe in coming back from the tie, but on Wednesday it will be another game. But the first thing is to show and have ambition. You have to make a complete game. Only then will we have possibilities.

He has left Griezmann on the bench and put Braithwaite on the field before him. Is it a message?

It is not a message. The point is that we have decided to change the system and put Dembélé on top. We needed someone faster than Leo upstairs. It was a system change.

Is Sevilla's game the most important of the season?

Every game, like today, is important. Barça has to win and to be at the top. Wednesday is another competition. We have to try to stay alive in all competitions until we can.

How are the injured?

We have to wait. We have made changes and the team has continued. This does not depend on one player or two players.

They have left a clean sheet. Was it something that worried you?

It is important because we always score goals and create chances. The attitude in defense has been very important.

What is your assessment of the Ilaix party?

Like the others who have entered, they have been important in the last stretch of the game. He was good with the ball and has contributed a lot in the last part of the game. He is a very young player
