Surprise .. The Barcelona coach absolves himself and accuses the club president of the departure of Suarez
The new Barcelona coach, Ronald Koeman, surprised everyone during the press conference today in preparation for his first official match in the "La Liga" against Villarreal tomorrow, and said that he was "innocent of the departure of Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez to Atletico Madrid", accusing the club's management in that.
Coman said, according to the Catalan newspaper "Sport": It appears to everyone as if I am the "bad man" in one of the films.
He continued: Since my first call to Suarez, I showed him all the respect.
And he previously trained with us naturally.
He continued: I also told him that if he continues with us, he will have his chance like the rest of the players, and I will rely on him.
He revealed that the departure of Suarez was not at his request, but rather the decision of the club and President Bartomeu, and that they informed him of this before Koeman signed the Barcelona training contract.
He said that before his coming he was told that the club would get rid of a number of players, and that Luis Suarez included them, and that their project relied on giving more opportunity to young players, and that this is what he has done since his coming.
