They want Frenkie de Jong out of Barça: “Play as if he had 50 kilos of potatoes on his back”

Frenkie de Jong exemplified the Barça debacle in Munich. The great signing was shipwrecked with a crash before the Bayern machinery. A game of the highest demand that served to verify that it is still worryingly far from its best level, the one that led Barcelona to pay 86 million for the young man who masterfully led the Ajax orchestra. And in their country they are worried. Criticism hung over him after the European distaste. His compatriots do not recognize Frenkie in the field and some ask for his departure from Barcelona. They believe that it has lost its essence there.

Former Dutch internationals Ron Vlaar and Dirk Kuyt put a lot of thought into Frenkie’s performance at Barcelona and were very critical. “Now he plays football as if he had fifty kilos of potatoes on his back. You know what he can contribute, but in this team he simply does not appear. I think he is totally out of place at this time,” said Vlaar in his RTL speech after the match. The former Dutch international center-back believes that the best thing for Frenkie is to leave Barcelona. It is questioned whether he chose Barcelona instead of City at the time.

“I think sometimes he scratches his head over the decisions he’s made. He could also go to Bayern Munich, for example. Don’t you think Frenkie would play football differently for a team like Bayern? At Ajax, he does. He was going backwards in a team like that. Barcelona don’t have a team like that right now and they can’t invest. Will Frenkie pull the bandwagon in the next few years and bring them back to the level we’re used to? I think so. I think he has the qualities to play in a team like this, but Barcelona is not at the moment “, Vlaar sentenced with regret.

Kuyt was more analytical if possible with his game, with his personality and with his arrival in the rival area. He asks for more. “He has always changed the game of his team and I would love to see him progress towards the front, towards the rival goal, to put himself in a position to score. He does not come looking for shooting options. I would like to see that again in him, because he always does. he has had and is a fantastic player who belongs to the top of Europe. But that is recovered with audacity, and if there is someone who has always had it, it was Frenkie. But he has to take this immediately seriously, “says the former Liverpool striker.

Unlike Vlaar, Kuyt thinks De Jong should stay in Barcelona. “It would be a shame if Frenkie made the decision to leave Barcelona. There is no doubt that he can play effortlessly for Bayern or Manchester City. But it would be so nice to see another Dutchman causing a furor at Barça …”, judgment.
