• Crónica.Messi and Trincao unbalance the VAR law

In the end, he protested a play that did not change the final outcome of the match.

But, after the referee canceled what was the momentary 2-0 at the behest of the VAR,

Ronald Koeman was

almost taken by the devil.

Even with everything already finished and a 5-1 on the scoreboard, he couldn't help but keep thinking about the matter.

In their own way.

«Better not speak more about VAR ... It is not the referee's fault.

You need a magnifying glass, for me it is not offside, but I am not the VAR

.

I'm not going any further.

It has surprised me, but in the end we won the game and that is the most important thing, "he said in Movistar LaLiga when asked about his anger.

When he got to the press room, he tried to moderate that speech a bit.

«

According to my staff, because we have the images, it was not offside

.

They told me.

It has surprised me, not because of the referee, but because of the VAR, but it is better to leave it, because it seems that I am always talking about the same thing.

We won 5-1, some players have been able to rest and that is more important than talking about VAR, "he said.

Koeman, once the duel with

Alavés was over

, did want to give his opinion on a game that many have highlighted in red on the agenda: the clash with PSG.

“They have a great team, but I see the tie quite even.

We face the two games with ambition and knowing that we have to be well in every way to be able to pass, "said the Barça coach.

"We will need effectiveness at the top and a lot of forcefulness when defending," he stressed.

“

We trust ourselves

.

Physically, I cannot say that it is the best moment of the season, because we lack players.

If I had them all available, yes I would say so, "added a Koeman who, of course, wanted to highlight

Messi's

good time

.

“

We know that Leo has been a decisive player

for many years.

In addition, he is very involved, happy, and is getting very effective again.

When we arrive with passes between the lines and the others look for depth and run, it is easier for him, because the vision of the game he has is impressive, "added Koeman.

The optimism, however, is palpable.

"We are going to measure up and we are going to have a great game," said Riqui Puig, who played his first full game with the Dutchman.

«For a player, playing 90 minutes gives you a lot of morale.

I am very happy and I thank Koeman for giving me those minutes, "he added.

Ilaix Moriba's league debut

The young

Ilaix Moriba

, who made his debut with the Barça first team in the Cup clash against

Cornellà

, made his debut this time in the League.

Something that, despite the circumstances, will remain etched in his mind.

"At the beginning I was a little nervous because I was in this stadium with a lot of history and also raised my head and saw

Messi and Griezmann

there.

It is all a dream, the truth, "he said on Barça TV.

Of course, without forgetting his mistake in the Alavés goal either.

"We always stay more with the latter, it may be that the mistake is more in his head, but I know that I have made more or less a good game and I have also been able to give an assist," he confessed.

«I'm going to keep everything, boots, T-shirt, the memories ... I will never forget them in my life.

You just need to be able to do it with a passion, "he added.

Koeman, always demanding, announced in Movistar LaLiga that he would read the card.

But, in this case, also bringing out his more understanding side: «He has made a good game in general, but he has to know that you cannot give such a horizontal pass.

He is young and will surely learn

».
