It is no secret to anyone that the most important sector of FC Barcelona is its midfield. Barça's style of play means that midfielders must be protagonists every game, and De Jong has taken on that role again.
The FC Barcelona has received big news this season regarding the performance of some footballers. Ronald Araújo has consolidated like one of the best head offices of the world, Ter Stegen has returned to a version that the team needed and as well as another pair of positive situations in the course, also is the 'birth' of the Frenkie of Jong that dominates the centre of the field culé.
After a summer in which the Barcelona entity was had to sell it to free mass salarial and besides ingresar a mount upper to the 70 million euros, the footballer has finished having the reason on his posture to want to follow to triumph. It refused one and again to the Manchester United and reaffirmed his commitment with a Barça that now is seeing the results of that decision of the Dutch.
A new indisputable
Of Jong no only has gone in in the eleven headline thanks to the new system of four mediocampistas, but it has gone back a fundamental man inside this tactical disposal, and when it has had to be like interior or pivote in the classical 4-3-3, never -or hardly ever- has defrauded. Like this, this Sunday in Saint Mamés put again a hit on the table and although the ones of Xavi could not control totally the party, the ex Ajax showed because it does not have to go back more to the bench.
Without the brilliance of other nights because of the context that had the duel in front of the Athletic Club, Frenkie equally devised them to him for, especially during the first time, sustain the centre of the field of the Barça when worse happened it the team. The shrinking of Sergio Busquets and his coverages to the bands was a problem in the first half hour of the party, and precisely during those minutes the Dutch was going down the rhythm of the venues every time that it could.
They attained what wanted
Already to the end of the first part, as well as in the second time, the work of both improved considerably, and like this showed it a pass of goal that put Of Jong for a Lewandowski that could not define comfortably because of an a bit hasty driving. Already of the another side Busi put a genial pass for a Raphinha that went back to be the goleador of the culés in a party of League.
A note of 7 points and 90% of tarpaulin in the passes on 78 attempts, are figures more than correct for a so complicated party like which the Barça contested in front of the Basques. If something has characterised to the team of Xavi in this course is to win parties in which no always could be better that the rival, but in which some footballers, as in this case Frenkie, allowed to follow competing at all times.
