Tim Koeman on his father: “It was nice being a coach, but this is much bigger”

Ronald Koeman's son, Tim Koeman (31 years old), has been interviewed for a documentary called “Força Barça” that will be broadcast in the Netherlands from February 17, in which Koeman's first months as a new Barcelona coach are recounted through his closest environment. The son of the former Barça player has the emotion that caused him to know that his father was going to coach Barça: “Of course it was very nice that he was the Dutch coach, but this is much bigger. Everybody talks about this club.”

Tim, who settled in Barcelona since his father took over the team, explains that he has not had the opportunity to see Leo Messi yet. “It hasn't happened yet. He lives in total incognito. He doesn't go anywhere, nobody sees him. One day I left my father at Messi's house; he went to talk to him, sitting at his kitchen table. They are just great things. “. During the documentary, the son of the Barcelona coach shows his Barcelona skills commenting that he decided to call his son Xavi, in honor of the Terrassa midfielder who has worn the Barça shirt more times in its history.

Also, Tim confesses an anecdote from when his father was a Barça footballer and was under the command of Johan Cruyff: “I was in the habit of training at the Camp Nou on Saturdays. At that time, players had the right to bring their children to training. I would exercise behind the goal with a young Sergio Busquets,” says Tim.
