Riqui Puig has not entered the Barcelona squad in a good way. What was supposed to be one of the bastions of the youth side earned the ire of Ronald Koeman and part of the dressing room.
'El País' revealed a strong clash between the player and the Dutch manager, with all the changing room present. "You are a leaker", Koeman accused Riqui Puig.
The quoted source assures that part of the dressing room was in favour of the coach of Barcelona, since they understand that the attitude of the midfielder has not been the appropriate one after moving to the first team.
This happened after Koeman told Riqui Puig to look for a team for the current season, before the beginning of the campaign, and the idea was leaked to the press.
The coach was upset that the decision about the future of the youth player was made public in a short time, and so he sent him to the sidelines.
The locker room, assures the mentioned source, is divided between those who support Koeman because of Riqui Puig's attitude and those who are with the player because they understand that the coach did not have the same reaction when the conversation with Luis Suárez that ended in his departure to Atlético Madrid was leaked.
Barcelona, meanwhile, is trying to forget the heavy defeat at the Camp Nou against Juventus, which condemned them to second place in the Champions League group.
