What did Koeman have to say?
“We needed to win after the two results,” Koeman said. “We played a great second half, we made the difference. In the first half we should have done better.”
He added: Surely, having won today, tomorrow will be different. It is normal if you leave two points against Cadiz when it was time to cut back with those at the top. You have to close this bad feeling with good games and good results.
Koeman on Messi s frustration
Messi was a frustrated figure in the first half, a fact which was noticed by Koeman early on.
What else has Koeman had to say?
The Barca boss has sought to assure under-fire Clement Lenglet that he retains the full backing of the club’s coaching staff, with the French defender pictured leaving Camp Nou in tears after another error-strewn showing in a 1-1 draw with Cadiz last time out.
Koeman said of the centre-half: “I spoke to Lenglet this morning, he’s a great professional and he takes everything very personally.
“But as I said, we also made a lot of mistakes in attack, we could have made a second goal and with a 2-0 lead, such a play is not so decisive.”
