It Looks Like Luis Suarez’s Days At Barcelona Are Numbered After Seeing This
Ronald
Koeman has one of the most difficult jobs in European football on his
hands, as he seeks to make Barcelona a force on the continent once
again, perhaps with only 12 months in which to do so.
The
Dutchman was announced as the new manager of Barcelona this week after
the club dispensed with the services of Quique Setien in the wake of the
terrible 8-2 Champions League quarterfinal defeat against Bayern
Munich.
Whilst
it’s thought that Koeman would like to ensure a more youthful edge to
Barca’s first-team, ridding the club of elder statesmen that he perhaps
considers too old for the job won’t be an easy process at all.
However, it looks like he’s already worked out how to help Luis Suarez out of the Camp Nou exit door.
“With
all due respect, (Antoine) Griezmann isn’t a winger. He needs to play
where he has his entire life, showcasing all of his qualities,” he said
in an interview with NOS Voetbal, cited by Sport.
“For
that reason, I believe it’s important that a coach knows his players
and how to get the maximum out of them. That starts by playing them in
their right position.”
The inference was clear, that the Frenchman would be Barca’s central striker next season.
Though
Koeman’s way of doing things is undoubtedly going to put a few noses
out of joint and bruise a few egos, if Barca want success, then they
need to allow the Dutchman to go about his work.
For far too long now, rumours of the senior players running the dressing room have festered.
An
iron fist is needed, and if that means there are a few casualties along
the way, so be it. You won’t find Barca fans complaining if it means
the club are winning trophies again.
