BARCELONA coach Ronald Koeman has said that he is not interested to discuss his future with the club after they were held by Granada in a 1-1 draw.

Barcelona trailed their opponents for 88 minutes before Ronald Araujo found the equaliser.

“I’m not going to talk about my future anymore. Today’s Barca is not the Barca of eight years ago. We played Barca’s way, but we don’t have the speed on the break because Philippe Coutinho goes inside, Yusuf Demir doesn’t go too deep and that’s the way it is. With Ansu Fati or Ousmane Dembele, it’s different, you have more speed, but you have to look for alternatives,” Goal.com quoted the 58-year-old Dutch as saying.

“Before the game, you think about winning, especially at home, but our bad start made the game difficult for us. We didn’t come in strong, it was our fault. We improved during the game. We changed and we played with crosses from the wings. We put energy into scoring. We wanted more, but one point is better than nothing. We deserved the draw,” Koeman, a former World Cup player, added.

Barcelona is presently placed in the seventh place in La Liga standings with eight points from four games.

They will next face Cadiz in La Liga on Thursday (23).
