Frenkie Of Jong no raja in front of the criticisms and this said of Messi

"I am not Messi", those were the words of the Dutch midfield player of the FC Barcelona Frenkie Of Jong to go out him to the step to the hard criticisms against his game deployed in the last weeks, particularly hard by the double shipwreck suffered by the Catalan team in the two first days of the phase of groups of the current edition of the UEFA Champions League; first in front of the Bayern Munich (0-3), in the Camp Nou, and afterwards in front of the Benfica (3-0) in the Estádio gives Luz, in Lisbon. To these defeats add the bad results in LaLiga Santander. In whose competition also fell the past Saturday in front of the Athletic of Madrid (2-0) in Wanda Metropolitan.

"I think that sometimes it is exaggerated", affirmed the footballer culé during an interview conceded to the Dutch newspaper 'AD'. "No, I am not in the form of my life. But neither I am bad. After the Benfica read the criticisms to my game. If you lose 3-0, never it can say that it went out very well, but this result neither means automatically that was very bad. This criticism often bases in the bad results", added, clearly contrariado by the attitude of the fans.

"If you ask me if it goes back me crazy, will say that yes regarding the results. No by what sucede to the around. There is a negative feeling in the club, but this does not bother me neither at all", sustained in allusion to the institutional crisis that, affected also in the sportive to the Barça during the last months, a situation that recognised between lines has sharpened with the exit of Messi.

"I expect more than me same, this is true", affirmed Frenkie. "But Messi is the best player of all time. I do not know how many goals marked and gave a lot of assistances. Simply I am not of the type that marks 30 goals in a season, not even know to a mediocampista that do it. It looks, I have to carry more to the team to slopes, in fact, can do more in this. My zero goals and two assistances, could be something better. But I do not think that it was a player to the that have to judge after a season by the goals and the assistances", remarked.

Trusted elevate the level

"Really I create it (revertir the situation), because have a very good staff, especially when the players lesionados are back", said, afterwards to be questioned on the perspectives that has of the club and recovery in this same season. "In the league, the brecha with the Real Madrid and the Athletic of Madrid is in reality of alone two points. Everything keeps on being possible. We begin very badly the Champions, but there neither has lost at all. We have to win the next party against the Dinamo of Kiev. What if I see to Koeman suffer? There is a lot of pressure, but all the world sees it", added.
