Frenkie de Jong's season has been full of 'ups and downs'. The Dutchman returned in October after being out for five months due to his right ankle injury, and since then he has only missed one game with FC Barcelona. However, his performance has been very irregular, showing a good level in some matches while in others he left more doubts than certainties.
It is clear that the footballer is still not at 100% of his potential and is still trying to recover sensations, as he confessed a few days ago from the concentration in the Netherlands. Despite this, the midfielder has the confidence of Hansi Flick and the locker room, with Pedri being the last to come forward to praise his teammate.
Pedri hopes to see the best Frenkie again
In an interview given a few days ago to LaLiga, the Canary Islander praised Frenkie's work in the Clásico against Real Madrid, and maintained that the footballer will return to his best version soon. "Frenkie's entrance changed the game, he gives you a lot with the ball and I'm very happy that he's getting to his level and we're going to see the best Frenkie for sure," were the words of the Tenerife player.
Pedri also highlighted the role of Flick in Barça's recent success, stating that "he makes us believe in what we are capable of. Apart from football, in personal dealings he is always looking out for those who are not playing, so that we are all happy and a family."
"He always tells us to try to finish the plays, but with confidence you try different things and when the team is like that, everything works out," concluded the Barça '8', who is being one of the key pieces of the German's new project at the Spotify Camp Nou.
