Under-Fire Ronald Koeman Reads Statement At Bizarre Press Conference

Under-Fire Ronald Koeman Reads Statement At Bizarre Press Conference

Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman read out a statement at his strange press conference on Wednesday where he refused to answer questions.

The Dutchman is reportedly under fire after the club's underwhelming start to the 2021/2022 campaign. 

Koeman held a pre-match press conference on Wednesday but surprisingly refused to answer any questions and instead read out a statement asking for patience.

"The club is with me as a coach in a rebuilding situation," Koeman read, as per the Sun.

"The financial situation of the club is linked to sports performances and vice versa.

"That means that we, as a squad, have to rebuild the football team without being able to make large financial investments. That takes time.

"Today's young talents can become the new world stars in a couple of years. The good thing about rebuilding the team is that young players will have opportunities like Xavi and Iniesta had in their day.

"But patience is required."
