The visiting team took only six shots in the entire match, while Cadiz took 13 shots. Barcelona were too slow in the first half. Although they had more possession of the ball, Barcelona failed to break the defensive line of Cadiz. On the 65th minute, Barcelona midfielder de Jong fouled Espino and booked a red card. It was a controversial decision. Ronald Koeman talked about the red card after the match. He said, “ In this country, they send you off for nothing!”

Future of Ronald Koeman

The pressures are increasing on Barca boss Ronald Koeman. It seems that the relationship between the club and the manager is not going well. The club is not performing well under him. Ronald Koeman has a 60% win rate as Barcelona manager. This is the lowest rate since Frank Rijkaard in 2008. He gave an interview on a TV. He said,

No one has to feel sorry for me. In Spain, the manager will get the blame. It’s very black & white here. You get a penalty against you while being better for 90 minutes. They will blame the manager’s tactics. I don’t ask for understanding. I just look at the facts. The only way to make things calm here is by winning. By winning, winning, and more winning.”

While talking about the financial condition of FC Barcelona, Koeman said,

I knew that the financial situation here wasn’t very good, but I didn’t know it was this bad. Joan Laporta didn’t know that too. I think he was just as shocked as me. We are all in the same boat here.”

According to many reports, Ronald Koeman will be fired at any time. FC Barcelona is looking for a perfect manager. Xavi, a former player of the club, can take charge.
