My wife and kids knew that I couldn’t wait to get there, they really preferred to live in Barcelona, so it was not just a sports choice but also a life choice. “ Ronald Koeman said.
Ronald Koeman: “ The team suffers, especially in home games“
The Barça legend admits that his adventure at the Camp Nou as a coach does not unfold as planned. The Blaugrana team is only in 5th place, 8 points behind rivals Real and Atlético de Madrid.

So they didn’t bring me in a happy moment. The team suffers, especially at home, because it is a large stadium, but without an audience. I think the players are affected by the fact that they only feel that atmosphere in the stands. “ an explicat Ronald Koeman.
