Koeman defends Umtiti after mistakes in the loss of Barcelona
Great victory in the first match for Sevilla against Barcelona.
Julian Lopetegui’s team defeated Barca 2-0 and is one foot closer in the Copa del Rey final.
Everyone today is talking about the poor performance of the defender, Samuel Umtiti, whom they blame for the two goals conceded by Barcelona.
Koundé, who scored one of the goals for Sevilla, embarrassed Umtiti the most before sending the ball into the net.
Either way, Umtiti has the right man by his side to get out of this situation, Ronald Koeman.
“We left a lot of space in the first goal, not only in defense, but also in midfield. Until the second goal, we did not work well to catch the opponent offside. Umtiti was good at the game. He makes mistakes like everyone else. It’s part of football. It is not right to blame him. We lose and we all win together.” Koeman said.
