Ronald Koeman insists he has no problem with Riqui Puig at Barcelona

Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman has been talking about Riqui Puig and has insisted he has nothing against the young midfielder.

Puig has barely featured under the Dutchman, who advised him to go out on loan last season, and is still waiting for his first minutes of the new campaign.

Koeman has been asked if he has “something against” Puig and denied he had a problem with the midfielder but didn’t really explain what he needs to do to earn his trust.

“Not at all! No! We’ve spoken with Riqui many times, in training, analysing what he must improve to get chances,” he said.
