Alvaro Cervera's dig at Barca coach Ronald Koeman

Alvaro Cervera, the Cadiz coach, spoke on Sunday night on SER radio and criticised Barca counterpart Ronald Koeman.

"We had the luck that Dembele didn't start and Koeman didn't use pure wingers," said the coach. "I'm surprised he took off (Sergino) Dest. He's a very fast player who can go deep. And when he put on Trincao we knew that they were going to be playing even more centrally. And on top of that we saw an opportunity because we knew Trincao would not going to defend well on that side and put on someone fast who could do them damage. It helped us because when Barcelona get to the touchline they are very dangerous."

On Coutinho starting, he said: "It wasn't a relief but for me, my way of seeing things, I liked Dembele more. He's one of the few who can get you to that touchline. Coutinho is not so much of an individual and you can defend him as a team."

On Messi he added: "Messi I saw him more participating than on other occasions. I saw him trying to win the game. He came deeper, got the team to play. I didn't see him playing badly. In fact, the instructions that I gave were above all references to Messi."
