Koeman's message: “It's good to have a 9 to have another plan”

Ronald Koeman spoke at Movistar right after the game. These were their opinions.

What feeling does the game leave you?

I am happy with the first part. Four goals, rhythm, change of positions up … A great first part.

Ansu has been devastating.

He is a young player who has to seek consistency in his game and in his performance. He has shown that he has a great future and I am very happy after his match today. One of my criticisms in the friendly against Elche is that his performance had not been optimal and I told him that today he had a great game. Its depth has been enormous. We have taken advantage of its quality because we know it.

How important is the drawing?

The important thing is if you have the type of players to play with that system and I think you do. The only thing that didn't go well in the second half was the losses in the second half, but we are going to pick up the optimal pace.

Does it cost Griezmann?

It is a position from the right wing inwards. In our way of thinking it does not have to play outside, but inside. I am happy with his work and with his performance. I don't care if he scores.

Do you want a reference?

It is always good to have him to have another plan but we can play without a clear nine on the field.
