Ronald Koeman was officially appointed Barcelona's new coach last night (Wednesday), and now everyone is looking forward to seeing how the tenure of one of the greatest and most beloved foreigners in the club's history will be conducted. No one can argue about Koeman's playing skills, but as a coach there are still a number of question marks.
Gerard Deulofeu, who grew up in Barcelona's youth department and trained under him at Everton in the 2016/17 season, does not remember the Dutchman well: "I can only tell you from my personal experience, and I have very little to say about him. He gave me nothing. I was not satisfied. "I asked to leave and went to Milan. We'll see what he's like at Camp Nou."
On the club's current crisis, the midfielder said: "The situation does not bother me, I do not care. They did not have patience with La Monsieur alumni. There are many players who grew up in the youth departments, but little patience. Now changes will be made, but Barcelona are a few years behind."

With one Barça representative he did not really get along. Coman (Photo: Reuters)One who is anxiously following the situation in Barcelona is Jordi Cruyff, who has been mentioned as a candidate to join the club in a managerial role several times in recent years. Ex-Maccabi Tel Aviv told the Catalan media last night: "I pray that Messi will not leave. I very much hope that he is willing to reconsider his steps and that he can be persuaded to stay at Barça until the satisfactory results are reached."
On the appointment of Koeman, his Dutch compatriot said: "He knows the club, he is a legend and he has done a very good job in the Dutch national team. It was his opportunity, now or never." Cruyff also referred to the humiliating defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League: "I did not believe what I saw. I think Pique's words came from the heart, I loved them."
Cruyff has denied he will join Barcelona in a managerial role with presidential candidate Victor Pont being elected in March next year. "I did not commit anything to Victor Font or Xavi. I did not speak to Bartomeu this summer either."

With all due respect to those who may arrive, in Barcelona they deal no less with those who might leave: Leo Messi. Marca spoke with a number of people close to the club, and found that the only one who is 100 percent convinced that the flea will remain is former president Joan Gaspar: "I do not think Messi is considering anything other than to continue. I know he is good in Barcelona, he and his family, and his intention "She will continue. He will never leave us like that, with bad taste in his mouth."
Unlike former president, former player and coach Carlos Rashak has said slightly different things: "It's important to refresh the squad, but Messi may feel hurt if some of his team-mates leave." Tony Percha, one of the candidates for the future election, added: "Messi is not asking for more money, what he wants is a staff good enough to win titles."
Former player Rivaldo also voiced his opinion on the subject: "I do not think Messi will leave. He needs to talk to the management, Barcelona gave him a lot and he gave a lot to Barcelona. For him, the key is to be surrounded by the best players."
