Barca boss Koeman reveals the reason why Trincao and Pedri were subbed in ahead of Dembele

Koeman says that Trincao and Pedri are better defensively than Dembele and also praised his players for their desire to improve.

"I think Pedri and Francisco Trincao can contribute more defensively than Ousmane Dembele, that's why they played," Ronald Koeman told BarcaTV after the Celta Vigo win.

After the break, Barcelona switched to a 4-4-1 in defence, with Leo Messi being the lone forward and Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho occupying the left and right wings respectively. In the 72nd minute, the coach replaced them with Pedri and Trincao.

The coach went on to praise his squad for the attitude they show in training.

"I can't talk about last season, but from day one I've seen players very eager and eager to turn the situation around. It's important how they train and are doing. We're better physically and I think it is noticeable."
