Ronald Koeman, Barcelona coach, assumes he was not expecting Lionel Messi to leave, but is hopeful of having a strong team to face the new season.
“We have to understand that there is always an ending for every player. Let’s close this book and focus on the new season. We have young people with a lot of future and the important thing is to focus on that and not on what happened in the last few days», he began by saying, in an interview with ESPN.
“We are not talking about just any player, it is Messi, the best player in the world and we are all disappointed, but we have to change quickly and look at the whole situation. Hopefully, we have recovered players like Ansu Fati and Coutinho, and we will have a strong team. We will work hard to achieve what is expected of us», he explained.
