‘If decisions have to be taken, we’ll take them’ Barca president Laporta tells Koeman

FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta has warned coach Ronald Koeman that “if decisions have to be taken, we will take them”.

FC Barcelona president, Joan Laporta has told coach, Ronald Koeman that tough decisions will be made should the need arise.

In a cagey statement, Laporta failed to guarantee Koeman’s job should results not improve in the nearest future.

Laporta said, “We are with the coach. He’s Barca’s first-team coach and what we want is for things to go well,” he said on Thursday.

“All coaches, not just Koeman, depend on results and, in Barca’s case, on their style of play. Koeman is our coach and we’re with him today.”

“We see that the team isn’t working as we all were hoping,” Laporta said. “In that sense, we’ll act thinking always of FC Barcelona… If decisions have to be taken, we’ll take them.

“What I don’t like is a conformist attitude, a certain defeatism, that can’t be allowed at FC Barcelona.

“We have the team we have, but we can aspire to win La Liga and the players say to me that we have to be optimistic.

“We have to work, we have to fight every day, because I believe you achieve success with daily work. Less talking and more doing, more working.”

Ronald Koeman has been under pressure as the Catalan club has struggled for form this season, dropping points against Athletic Bilbao, and Granada, while suffering a humiliating 3-0 loss to Bayern Munich in the Camp Nou
