Former Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman says Barcelona are still living in the past. The Dutch coach, who was skeptical of the club’s consistency in the 4-3-3 formation and the tactics Xavi was going to implement, warned that a lot had changed in football. Cooman also expressed his concern over the club’s move to spend large sums on Lewandowski’s transfer.
“Dominating the game is something I’m interested in. If you play with three central defenders, or five defenders, you can never say it’s defensive. With this style, we’ve played some of the best football in recent memory.”

“The final against the Athletic Club was a perfect example of that. Barcelona are living in the past, in the style of 4-3-3 and Tiki Taka. Football has changed. It’s faster now, more athletic. We can not live in the past.” Cooman Sport3Said while talking to.
Barcelona have been playing in a 4-3-3 style for many years. The coaches that made the difference were Luis Enrique, Valverde and Cuman. Cooman points out that following the same formation and style of play over the years will limit the team’s strategy. He also expressed doubts about the Lewandowski transfer.
“Lewandowski is a great player, a player who can score goals, but he’s reached a certain age. A player close to the age of 35 is paid $ 50-60 million in addition to the salary. He may have two more years to go, but I have my doubts about whether or not he will own Lewandowski.” Cooman revealed.
