Barcelona defeated Granada 0-4 away yesterday, and after Antoine Griezmann opened with an early goal (12) and broke in a seven-game drought, Messi scored a double even before the break, and later the Frenchman scored his second.
Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman decided to replace Messi with a 0: 4 advantage, explaining: "Barça need Messi, we need him to continue to do great things to fight for titles. As a result we could make substitutions and give rest to very important players like Messi and de Jong. Never. I was worried about him (Messi), he was always motivated, and now the exiles are coming too. "
Koeman once again feels his team can continue the momentum and fight for the championship, despite the big gap between the teams in Madrid: "If all the players are in good shape, we can fight for all the titles. This sequence of results gives us a lot of confidence."
Koeman was also asked about the condition of Ricky Pouch, who is reportedly unloved by the players and coach and not getting enough minutes.
Pouch came in as a substitute, showed a wide smile to the camera, and in his 17 minutes on the pitch showed how talented he is: "I have nothing against Ricky Pouch. We have very young players like Conrad, Mathews and Junior who don't get many minutes, "You always think I'm talking about Ricky. I have no problem with him. His future? He has to decide."
