Frenkie De Jong, winner in defense and 'cerebral' with the ball

By more than the eleven of the Barça have modifications in his diagram or in his rotation of players, there is something that never changes for Xavi: if Frenkie of Jong is available, the technician of Terrassa always ranges it in the eleven headline. The Dutch midfield player is the pillar on which the FC Barcelona builds his game and is a fundamental piece in the team. It is a player 'joker', able to manage well in almost all the parts of the field, even of head office, where in the recent victory against the Betis finish playing in the final minutes when Xavi did several offensive changes.

The party complicated and the team needed 'gunpowder' to give with the victory. The míster culé decided to put all the meat in the asador and incorporate until four attackers to the terrain of game: Ferran Torres, Joao Félix, Lamine Yamal and Vitor Roque. For this, had to sacrifice to some player of the defence and the youngster Pau Cubarsí went out substituted because of some annoyances that dragged in the final minutes of the party. His gap occupied it Frenkie of Jong, that 'gives the callus' there where touch him play. In general, his defensive contribution no only evidencio when it played of head office, but it was attentive in defensive works during all the party with his 8 duels won, 2 intercepciones and 5 segadas.

An example more than the commitment of the player tulip with the team. Definitely, it is one of the favourites of the míster and when he is well, all the team works. Although it is not a pivote 'pure', the midfield player is forging like a player 'todoterreno' able to assume several works in the field at the same time, an ideal aptitude for a Barça so irregular. Besides, as it showed in front of the béticos, is a very precise player with the balloon and commits very few errors.

Of Jong, a 'heavy weight' of the changing room

The player little by little goes curtiéndose like a legend of the Barcelona group, with which already great more than 200 parties. After so much experience carrying the elastic culé, the '21' has forged like an authentic leader of the changing room, so much inside as out of the field, and is had to 'leave the skin' by the shield, as it admitted in the celebration of the double centena of meetings like culé: "Have options to win many of the parties that remain. And I think that we still can litigate the League. If you participate in a competition, do it to win it. All want to win the Champions, we also".

The player has made a season of less to more, since in the day 6 in front of the Celtic went out lesionado of the right ankle, what separated him of the terrains of game by ten parties. The team carried the absence of the Dutch 'as it could' and now that goes back to be active and offering an excellent performance, the Barça notices it, and Xavi crosses the fingers because to the mediocentro respect him the injuries in what it remains of season.
