Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman expressed dissatisfaction with Atlético de Madrid’s 0-1 loss to Wanda Metropolitano in La Liga last night and harshly criticized the team’s performance at the end of the first half, when Yannick Carasco scored the only goal.
Carasco took advantage of an assist from Ángel Corea after a mistake by Gerard Piqué, passed goalkeeper Mark-Andre ter Stegen, who came well ahead of his penalty area, and scored on an empty goal in the third minute of added time.
“We just can’t concede a goal like that. It was our mistake, we can’t afford to lose the ball like that and be so late in the half.
“It’s difficult to create a team like Atlético, but when you lose the ball against them, you have to do better to neutralize their counterattack,” said Kuman.
“Right now I’m not worried about our place in the rankings or the title fight. We just have to start winning our matches, make a positive winning streak, that’s the most important thing now.”
“The coach is always responsible for the team’s results, but I still trust my players. But we have to improve our performance both in defense and attack.”
“Now is not the time to talk about that, we have to work hard to improve the results. The players did everything in their power until the last second to reach the draw. I hope to see a similar attitude in our next matches.” added. Kuman.
