Ronald Koeman, the current coach of the Dutch national team, which he returned to directly after spending time at Barcelona for a season and a half, gave an interview to Andy van der Meijde to talk about his time as coach at Camp Nou.
In it he gave several headline opportunities, such as this one in which he affirmed that: "Dest is not worse than Sergi Roberto". Koeman was surprised by his departure to AC Milan this summer, being a young player who had just landed at the club. "I didn't understand it."
Koeman was delighted with De Jong's new situation in the team. "Frenkie is great. I think he's going to stay. He's playing so much, deservedly." He was one of the players who was on the exit ramp in the summer, but now the midfielder is untouchable for Xavi.
Specifically, regarding Xavi's management, he said: "Barça are doing very well. I saw Barcelona vs Real Madrid, they played incredible football. They were so good."
Of course, he also wanted to point out that 10-12 high-quality players have joined, so they have 'made his job easier' and in turn, he took the opportunity to send a message to the board: "It all depends on the quality of the squad. During my time it was different."
Bad results and the occasional statement did not help his relationship with Laporta, something he has confirmed on more than one occasion: "After what happened with the president, I'm not going to the Camp Nou these days."

As a right back Dest is on top between the 2. Though as a player Roberto is a better player overall. He has played many positions for Barca and that can’t go unnoticed 😌

Roberto is not right back Mr man, he is good at the midfield, this man don't know football at all. how can you compare both of them? dest is nobody to Roberto, please that guy has played more than you can imagine, and even have more trophy than you with your playing time andas couching too

100% right. Dest is much better than Roberto. Xavi is doing Spanish busyness at Barcelona and only for that they are out of UCL...

Now i am beginning to doubt Koeman pedigree as a coach. Dest is great in attacking and Speed but defensively and tactically, Roberto is better.

Roberto is not a Natural RB. He was forced to play at RB. So you cannot compare second position of a player to a primary. Dest had enough time to improve. We

To make things clear,Sergino Dest will definitely be better than Sergio Roberto because Sergio Roberto is a midfielder and he has sacrificed to play our right back for us
