Calendar of FC Barcelona

Ronald Koeman aims to new trainer of the FC Barcelona. Descartada The road of Mauritius Pochettino by the fault of consensus that generated in the directive and the barcelonismo, the Dutch gathers all the conditions required to start with a new sportive project: it knows perfectly the house, is an idol of the barcelonismo that would have the respect of the staff, has the very clear ideas and a philosophy that marries with the one of the club.

The idea of game of Ronald Koeman is very clear: the football of possession and position that lived with Johan Cruyff like trainer and like this has tried it implant in the teams in which it has been the technician. And in this idea of game have a lot of fit the technical players to which does not burn them the balloon, especially the creative midfield players that ensure a good circulation.

In this appearance, there is a player that could benefit a lot of the arrival of Ronald Koeman: Frenkie of Jong. In his first season in the FC Barcelona, the Dutch midfield player has not achieved to take out to relucir his best version and big part of this is due to that his position on the terrain of game has changed radically and maybe was not the ideal for him.

Frenkie Of Jong has happened to play in a double pivote accompanied by a more defensive player -as it played in the Ajax and as it does it in the selection of Holland- to do it like interior. This change supposes that the Dutch has to play some metres further up of what was accustomed, what has forced to mutate the habits that had when it played in the position in which it shined.

Like seleccionador of Holland that it is at present, Ronald Koeman would arrive to the Camp Nou with the exact knowledge of how do play to Frenkie of Jong to take out his best performance. In the combined national, the Barcelona midfield player plays like mediocentro, what allows to explode more his best qualities. If the hero of Wembley goes back to the Camp Nou, will have very in account these details to be able to take out the maximum split of his player.

Ronald Koeman already criticised the position of Frenkie of Jong

The past month of March, Ronald Koeman offered an interview for 'Mark' in which it already criticised that neither Ernesto Valverde neither Quique Setién had planted to Frenkie of Jong in his ideal position: "it Is important that play parties, but can argue if it does it in his position. In Holland, plays further back but we do it with two pivote, and in the Barça plays only with one and two mediocampistas, or sometimes with four mediocentros. The position that he has now is different of Holland and of the Ajax".
