Barcelona To Stick With Koeman Despite El Clasico Defeat

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has criticised a group of Barcelona supporters who mobbed Ronald Koeman’s car after Sunday’s Clasico.

Ancelotti claimed his first managerial victory at Camp Nou on Sunday, as goals from David Alaba and Lucas Vazquez secured a 2-1 victory. 

Struggling Barca boss Koeman was then subjected to unsavoury scenes as he left the ground, with the Dutchman’s vehicle surrounded by fans as he attempted to depart.

Barca released a statement to condemn those actions and in his news conference on Tuesday, Koeman suggested the incident reflected wider problems in society.

Ancelotti, who Koeman also revealed offered his support, echoed his counterpart’s sentiment.

“It is a lack of respect for the person, not for the coach. Koeman is not a coach, he is a person who works as a coach,” Ancelotti told the media ahead of Madrid’s LaLiga meeting with Osasuna on Wednesday.

“It is not a problem of football, but of society, of rudeness.

“A friend who is also a coach told me that the best life for a coach is when there are no games. It is a beautiful life, we like to train. Criticism is normal, but disrespect is annoying on a personal level.

“When you are a child they teach you, at least to me, if you want to be respected you have to [show] respect.”
