Frenkie de Jong He will not move from Barça. He has no other intention than to triumph here and the newly arrived staff see in the Dutchman a top midfielder in the world that they do not want to do without. Yes Xavi It puts him against Espanyol, the Dutchman will have played with five different coaches in his fourth season at Barça. From Valverde to Xavi, passing through Setien, Koeman and the interim Sergi. With all of them, he has been an essential player. None, however, has dared to give him the handle of the team that he did have at Ajax. In his league debut, in Bilbao, what had been planned with Valverde happened: rejuvenating the spinal cord. De Jong from midfield (20 years old), Busquets on the bench, and the interiors for Sergi Roberto and Aleñá. But at halftime, the coach already switched to Alena by Rakitic and then with the final snip of Aduriz and the defeat of Barça, the coach has already become conservative. On the second day, he returned Sergio to the middle center and De Jong went inside. In three years we have seen him there, as a second pivot, as a center-back and even as a winger. He is always the one who runs for three, cuts like the most and never hides. His class, which has more than any other, is evident with every change of pace and every lap. Koeman, in his first year, he brought him closer to the rival area, he asked for more of yours-mine with Messi and hence he scored 7 goals and gave 7 assists. Xavi He is convinced that he will know how to get the best out of him. But where?
