The new Barcelona coach is pessimistic and disappointed ... and two players without a "shirt"
The Spanish newspaper "Marca" revealed today that the new coach of Barcelona, Ronald Koeman, is pessimistic about the coming period and feels uncomfortable.
She said that through sources close to the coach, he insisted to some of his friends that the club's management had failed him and had not fulfilled its promises to bring him the players he wanted.
Koeman was insistent on hiring Dutchman Debay or Argentine Lautaro to compensate for the departure of Uruguayan Luis Suarez, but negotiations with the players faltered, especially after club president Joseph Bartomeu told him earlier that Barcelona could no longer pay large sums of money to the players.
Koeman said this was in contradiction to what he was told when he was contracted two months ago.
Coman will play his first official match for the club next Sunday against Villarreal in the local league, but he is still without new players he so desperately wanted in the previous period.
On the other hand, Coman left two players in the team, Rafinha and Todibo, without two shirt numbers, which is not unusual even in light of the talk about the players leaving.
But this is unprecedented for players within the first team of Barcelona, and two days before the first official match.
Koman wants to get rid of the players at the earliest opportunity, but has been bogged down by not finding a good destination for them.
