Calendar of FC Barcelona

At the beginning of years many questioned if Frenkie of Jong had to be still in the FC Barcelona or if it was necessary to give him a new opportunity. In the beginning of 2021 was important, but in this last season was happening unobserved and with performances that left it very discussed. Xavi Hernández, between so much, did not leave to bet by him and is receiving the fruits to trust the Dutch midfield player. In Italy 'went out' and signed a partidazo for the culés.

Of Jong no only is being key in the medullary, but already also saw of goleador. It came to annotate in Mestalla and against the Naples served to increase the advantage in the marker, five after the goal of Jordi Alba that served to open the electronic, but no only this. It did it with an exhibition of class and a played that has impressed to all by his quality: For this is here Frenkie!

And it is that in the played of his goal all went out him well and had the fortune that the Naples did not react and left him run in contrary field as if it was home. The Dutch found a precise space and achieved to finish from the frontal of the area. It did not forgive and Meret saw like the ball colaba by the square.

His so much against the Napoli supposes his première like goleador in Europe. Neither in his perimeros years in the Barça neither in his stage like player of the Ajax the Dutch midfield player had not achieved to mark in the Champions (22 duels like Barcelona and 19 with the 'ajacied') or Europe League (2 with the Barça and 4 with the Ajax). Up to now.

Like this then , after 47 parties in competicones European, Frenkie of Jong has achieved to see goal and has done it in a moment key to give him confidence to the group culé and, of some way, direct the eliminatory against the napolitanos, especially because ten minutes afterwards Lorenzo Insigne discounted the marker with a goal from the eleven metres after a fault of Ter Stegen in the area.

Frenkie acalla The criticisms

Of Jong has been one of the most criticised players in the FC Barcelona during the season. Xavi had insisted him in that it had to be more determinant and is achieving it. It has marked in four oprtunidades in this season, three in the last five parties. It saw goal against the Villarreal, Alavés, Valencia and now against the Naples.

The trainer egarense of the Barça, thus, only has praises to the footballer of 24 years: "it Is a footballer that has to be very important for the team. It understands the game, what explain him, is very professional. It is very autoexigente, very humble. Now it understands what want of him: the superiority, the line of three... Has potential, arrives to the area, arrives to the second line, understands who is the free man...".
