Ronald Koeman is not messing around as Barcelona manager. He’s wanted the job his entire career, he wants to set the tone right away, and his players are already noticing the difference.
In fact, the coach already has a nickname: Sergeant Koeman.
That’s according to a report from Marca, which claims that the players are discussing among themselves how things have changed with Koeman in charge of training. For example, he’s increased the length of training sessions from 60 to 90 minutes, and he’s demanding full intensity from all the players, something that was missing under Ernesto Valverde and especially Quique Setién.
