Ronald Koeman: Barcelona president told me I have to win the next three games

Ronald Koeman, who coaches Barcelona, is not experiencing the most pleasant moments of his coaching career. He lost his last game 0:2 to Atlético Madrid and after the game he met with the president of Barcelona who is losing patience.

Joan Laporta, the president of Barcelona, met with coach Ronald Koeman after the latest league defeat inflicted on Barcelona by Atlético Madrid. “We have to win the next three games,” the Catalan coach was told.

Barcelona is having a really bad season. It is still unable to find good tactics to manage its matches. The biggest problem is, of course, the loss of Lionel Messi, who is now playing for Paris Saint Germain.

Barcelona is only in ninth place in the Spanish LaLiga. It will play its next three matches at home. The fans will be pushing them forward to get on a winning streak.

Valencia, Dynamo Kiev, which will be a Champions League match, and Real Madrid will play at the Camp Nou in succession.

All three games will be tough, especially the last one, when Barcelona will face its biggest rival. Could Koeman be sacked after the El Clásico loss?

Barcelona have a lot of quality footballers in their squad. Koeman has to find the right way to lead his team. Laporta has a lot of patience with the current coach, but it’s clear that if Barcelona don’t pick up, a replacement for the Dutch coach will soon be sought.
