Ronald Koeman: "It's a good result. In the first half we played well. In the second half we came out less focused, the pace slowed down and we complicated the game unnecessarily. When that happens, the game can be complicated for us and we have to learn how to deal with that."
Koeman: "I've been a bit exaggerated with Mingueza because he's having a great season. He has to learn that to be a Barça player you have to be well and focused in every game."
Koeman: "Mingueza's substitution wasn't for my anger. It was to have Frenkie on the right and also to give Umtiti minutes."
Koeman: "On the one hand, I understand the way we went down in the second half because with 3-1 Getafe didn't press us too much either. But then we lowered our concentration defensively and with a penalty it can always complicate things."
Koeman: "I spoke with Mingueza at the end of the game. There is no problem and I'm not angry with him anymore."
Koeman: "Messi? The decision is all down to him. He's great. His concentration might decrease a little bit sometimes but you never notice it. He's the best and hopefully he'll continue with us for many years to come."
Koeman: "Busquets? He's a very smart player and very important for the team, especially because of his way of being. Playing with three centre-backs has helped him to utilise his quality."
Koeman: "We know we have many limitations in attacking positions. I hope Dembelé will be available for the weekend. Braithwaite won't be ready by then. Villarreal are a strong team, fighting for the Europa League, but every game is difficult. Also for the the rest."
That concludes Koeman's press conference. End of thread.
