Ronald Koeman has had quite an interesting start as a Barcelona manager. He was able to get some of the players he wanted at the club in the transfer window, but due to the limitations that COVID-19 has imposed on Barca’s budget, the club was unable to move for all of its objectives.
Koeman talked a bit about the current Barça squad and why they couldn’t get some of the players they wanted.
“I am happy with the squad we have. We have tried to improve: in some things we have done it and in others we have not, but that is also partly due to the financial situation of the club. We have to accept it and work hard ”.

He then spoke about some of the new Barça players and their performance. Specifically, Pedri, Trincão, Pjanić, Dest, Araujo and Riqui.
“Pedri and Trincão have been working from day one, performing well. Pedri is only 17 years old and I love how he works, trains and plays. Trincão is also quickly adapting to our ideas, and he is a young player with a great future ahead of him.
“Pjanić arrived here a bit later, but little by little he will get back in shape. It has a lot of quality. Dest looked very comfortable in his 20 minutes against Sevilla.
“Araujo has a great future ahead of him. He is physically strong and quite fast. He is a child who wants to learn. He is always open to learning new things. He has things to improve, which is normal for his age.
“Riqui has decided to stay. If his performance is there, then he will have opportunities to play ”.

Most of the Barça first team is absent in international service, but the rest have had a few days off from Koeman. They must return on Monday to start preparing the trip to Getafe.
