The unusual praise of Ronald Koeman to himself that annoys Lionel Messi and all FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona finally achieved an overwhelming victory, when defeating Real Valladolid on LaLiga by 3-0. The Catalan side defeated their rivals with goals from Clément Lenglet, Martin Braithwaite and Lionel Messi, who finally defeated the record from Pele for the biggest number of goals scored in a single club.

But even though no one was expecting it, Ronald Koeman praised himself for the victory. The Dutch head coach said in press conference after the victory that the key to win the game was his decision to set three central defenders instead of four. Koeman decided that Óscar Mingueza, Ronald Araújo and Lenglet were his three defenders to start.

Such a praise was not very well seen by Lionel Messi and the rest of the players of Barça, that thought that the coached should have recognized the work of the whole team and not just his tactical decision on how to make them play. Barcelona is now unbeaten in their last four games, since the tremendous defeat on Champions League against Juventus.

While Koeman decides to commend himself, Messi is defining where he will be playing in the future. As his contract expires on June 2021, there are chances for him to move as a free agent and Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are the two clubs with more chances to sign him.
