Fans gaan nu al helemaal los over Koeman (en Frenkie)

Ronald Koeman kende op zaterdag zijn officieuze debuut als oefenmeester van FC Barcelona. De Catalanen namen het in een oefenpartijtje op tegen het nietige Gimnàstic de Tarragona en wonnen met 3-1. Frenkie de Jong deed één helft mee, net als alle spelers.

De middenvelder maakte op zijn natuurlijke positie (die van controleur) een goede indruk en eigenlijk kwam heel Barça best fris voor de dag. Koeman krijgt dan ook complimenten op het sociale medium Twitter, als ook een aantal tips: veel fans willen De Jong en Riqui Puig samen in de basis zien.

A decent first half performance from the team, but a much better second half after the team was completely rotated. What do you think of Koeman’s first match as Barça coach?

Love the way koeman returned high press to the team.. When we’re done with the oldies in the team, our pressing will be even better

O Barcelona nas mãos de Ronald Koeman já mostrou uma grande evolução técnica: o clube já acumula o recorde de 90 minutos sem tomar gol do Bayern.

O campeão voltou!

So far FDJ solid and gonna be an undisputed starter cause Koeman
Araujo Riqui Trincao Semedo been really good
Defense feels way more solid without pique and Alba

One very good thing it seems Koeman instilled is the tempo we pass the ball with. It is HIGH. At maximum 2 touches. Hopefully this will be the standard.

• The best players tonight for me were de Jong, Riqui Puig, Coutinho, Pedri, Aleñà, Araujo and Trincão. Dembélé seemed interesting. And I still think Messi isn’t fully integrated dynamically.

FRENKIE DE JONG should play every game he wants, a maestro.#TalkBarça pic.twitter.com/ItEALYOgnS

We are probably witnessing the closest thing to Xavi and iniesta in Puig and De Jong currently

But some Barcelona fans still think 21 yr old Puig is too young to start major games.

Trincão on the right wing

Dembélé on the left wing

Pedri-Puig-De Jong midfield

It’s the team we deserve ???

— Sara ?????? (@SaraFCBi) September 12, 2020

I don’t care what Koeman is planning

de jong and Puig MUST always start together

— Noyã ? (@badniggafela) September 12, 2020

If you observe the difference between first and second half, then ALL our senior players need to leave the club,they’re so slow and nonchalant

They have been the ones exposing our defense all these while

Look at Puig and De Jong commanding the midfield,Barca has a future???

— DEJI (@day_jee1) September 12, 2020

Any player that doesn’t perform to expectation should sit on the bench, no special treatment for anyone

Those young boys are balling and creating chances.. Puig, de jong, trincao did well, Fati would’ve done well too

We move.. ??

— DEJI (@day_jee1) September 12, 2020

Trincao most impressive. And coutinho looks much better with his confidence back. Puig, de jong, coutinho midfield in a 4231 is lethal
