Barcelona coach Koeman wants better from Dest | OneFootball

Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman admits he wants improvement from Sergino Dest.

The Dutch coach had some constructive words for the former Ajax defender and some advice as well: he must improve his concentration during games.

"Maybe that was an influence in his participation in the team, that has not been playing regularly, had some injuries," Koeman responded when asked if a recent thigh problem could have hampered Dest's performance against PSG.

"But now he is OK, he's physically OK. He's [20] years old but he needs to learn, he needs to be more aggressive, he needs to be more concentrated. He had too many periods in the game where he's not 100 percent focused.

"We spoke to him about this. But he's a young player, that's good, he can learn it, but he needs to learn it.

"With all the positives he can bring to the team, he needs to learn it's a big step to play for Barcelona than to play in Holland. He needs time, he needs advice, but it starts with the player himself."
