Frenkie de Jong and Riqui Puig: This is how the duo of the future will work at FC Barcelona

In the last seasons, the game of the FC Barcelona has gone moving away of this idea 'guardiolista' and 'cruyffista' to have the balloon like defensive shield and like offensive weapon. It is true that the team follows wanting the possession, but neither the speed of circulation is the same that did to triumph to the club in previous years neither the command of the team in the medullary is the one who was before.

It is thus that, in the next years and possibly with the future arrival of Xavi Hernández to the bench, the aim will be to recover the essence of this style of game that aupó the Barcelona colours in the highest. Thus, it is now when it touches to look for exponents and, of face to the future, there is a dipla that ilusiona a lot in the FC Barcelona to recover the control of the centre of the field in all the parties: the one who will form Frenkie of Jong and Riqui Puig.

The Dutch midfield player, that carries weeks lesionado but is very near to reappear,​ went a bet of club. His brilliant performances with the Ajax of Erik have Hag turned him into one of the most valued midfield players of Europe. Frenkie Of Jong showed, besides, that had some attributes of game that married perfectly with the philosophy of game culé of possession and position.

By his part, Riqui Puig represents the new generation of talents of the Masia. Without too many opportunities with Ernesto Valverde in the bench, Quique Setién gave him the alternative after the injury of Frenkie of Jong and the canterano answered offering a big level. With the Dutch recovered, the barcelonismo can have the opostunidad to see together to his two midfield players more ilusionantes.

Frenkie Of Jong and Riqui Puig, complementary

Frenkie Of Jong and Riqui Puig understand the football of the same way, by what can complement to perfection. The Dutch midfield player can play as much as mediocentro -does it very little in the FC Barcelona by the presence of Ivan Rakitic or Sergio Busquets- as of interior, his more usual position. His capacity of association and to organise the game is of big dimensions and big future potential.

By his part, Riqui Puig is much more determined like interior, having a big capacity to give dynamism to the game and also to be aggressive in the recovery. Both are two engines in the centre of the field and expects a lot of his association in the future. Beside other talents like Carles Aleñá and learning at the side of veterans like Miralem Pjanic or the own Sergio Busquets, are in front of a couple of big footballers.
