Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman expressed his great satisfaction with the performance of his team in today`s 2-0 victory away to Sevilla.
`Why did I put Ousmane Dembele as a striker? We changed the scheme of the game. It was mostly to put pressure on Sevilla. We didn`t let them control the ball and we took advantage of Dembele`s speed. The first goal was a demonstration of what we wanted. The key was that we didn`t let Sevilla play, we showed aggression and we finished the match, we believe in the turn for the King`s Cup, but on Wednesday the match will be different, we must first show the same ambition from today. let`s play another finished match, that`s the only way we`ll have a chance at the final.
I have not sent any messages to Antoine Griezmann. The task was to change the scheme and put Dembele as a striker. We needed someone faster than Lionel Messi in front. It was a change of tactics. In defense we also showed good behavior. Every match is important, including today`s. Barca must win and be on top. On Wednesday we play in another competition. We should try to stay in all tournaments mentioned by football livescores as long as possible, `Koeman said after the match.
