Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman praised his Barça side after overseeing a 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad in La Liga.
The Dutch coach spoke about the attitude and enthusiasm of his team after the game after a victory that placed the team in fifth place in the standings.
“This is the team I want to see. Each player played out of his skin. The biggest difference was our game without the ball today, and Messi worked very hard in that sense, pushing a lot, and everyone else too, ”he said.
“That is the attitude we should have when we don’t have the ball. The first half was fantastic, we should have scored more goals. We were intense, we put them under a lot of pressure and we hit the ground.
“Real Sociedad are excellent with the ball but we keep stealing from them, we press them very well. It was an open match because our rivals know how to play very well but the game belonged to us and it was a deserved victory ”.
Barça’s victory is enough to knock Real Sociedad from the top of the table and close the distance to Imanol Alguacil’s team to six points with two games in hand. Koeman’s men will now face Valencia at home and Real Valladolid away before Christmas.
