Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman said it would be good for him to appear as a team in tomorrow’s “Clásico” at the “Camp Nou”
Kuman, 57, has spent 14 games in derbies with Real (Madrid) behind him as a Barça player, but admitted that the feeling is new now in the managerial position. “I hope I sleep well! Of course it’s different. It would have been better to go out on the field, but my racing days are long over. So now it’s best to be as close to the field as possible. We know this is an important match. , but I’m used to so much tension, “he said.
The Dutchman insisted that the club has no problem with Antoine Griezmann. The French international signed for the Catalans from Atlético for 120 million euros in 2019, continues to seek his best form and has not scored a goal for the club since the start of the new season. He was knocked out of the starting lineup in a 5-1 Champions League win over Ferencvaros on Wednesday, but Kuman said the situation with the player was exaggerated.
“Griezmann had the opportunity to start like any other player. It is not good to discuss this in all games. He is an important player, but we want all our players to be at 100%. The team is the most important and we will select the best players for tomorrow’s game, “added Kuman, quoted by BNR.
He also backed defender Gerard Piqué after the defender criticized the club’s management in an interview with a Spanish newspaper on Friday. “He’s been here for some time and I’ve been here three months. He has his own opinion and I respect it. Gerard is a smart man and he knows that when he gives these interviews, he will have a game the next day and play well in it.
Kuman will welcome Jordi Alba back to the team, but will continue without the starting guard under the framework of Marc-Andre ter Stegen and defender Samuel Umtiti.
