Matheus Fernandes hits out at Koeman over lack of game time at Barcelona

Barcelona midfielder Matheus Fernandes has revealed his frustration after a tough first season at the Camp Nou following his summer move from Palmeiras.

The youngster, who has still not been officially presented, has only managed 17 minutes this season which came as a substitute in a Champions League win over Dynamo Kiev.

Fernandes has spent the rest of the time on the bench and has given a lengthy interview to Mundo Deportivo where he’s revealed he doesn’t understand his lack of game time.

The Brazilian even says he thinks Ronald Koeman has something “personal” against him and explained what happened when he went to speak to the Dutchman after making his only appearance so far for the club.
