In an interview with the program QueThiJugues gives String SERJunior Firpo, a former Barcelona player who now plays for Leeds United, spoke about his time at Barcelona and lashed out at Ronald Koeman, accusing him of “lying”.
“I asked him for an explanation [por não jogar]until one day he decides to start lying to me. The moment the coach starts lying to you and you feel that you are being deceived … why keep asking for an explanation if in the end he is going to deceive you again?

“I don’t know what he meant by ‘infect the group’, I think he meant my attitude,” he continued. “At some point, I felt disrespectful to my colleagues … After the game, we, the substitutes, went to train, and Koeman remained in his office. If I am not being used, the only way to demonstrate my talent is to train, and the coach was not there … “
