Van Gaal recommends Setién to put De Jong as central

Louis van Gaal has granted an interview for the TV3 program 'Quan s'apaguen els llums', in which he talked about the time of Barcelona and the influence of Dutch Frenkie de Jong on the football of Quique Setién. The former coach of the Blaugrana club has even dared with a proposal for the current coach, so far not put on the table: “If I put Frenkie central, they could improve“.

From Jong: “He has the insight to defend forward at the right times. I am no longer the coach of Barcelona, ​​but I think Rakitic and Arthur can play in the midfield at the same time as De Jong. Barça could improve the central pair of the defense by putting Frenkie there. “

Wrong signing of De Ligt: “If only one club had to buy Matthijs de Ligt, it would have been Barcelona. And with Busquets, it turns out that Frenkie de Jong should have gone to Juventus.”

Priorities: “Barça needs De Ligt more than De Jong.”

He also spoke in the local press: “De Jong is doing very well if we consider that he is a 22-year-old who has gone abroad to a different culture. He also paid a high price for it, which adds more pressure.”
