The Dutch midfield player, Frenkie of Jong, has arrived to his third season in the Barcelona and the degree of requirement for this grows increasingly. The Dutch had had to date little competition and was intocable in the medullary.

However, the pressure for Of Jong has gone up with the irruption of Gavi and his good performance with the tactical system of the most used Barcelona (4-3-3), as it saw in the recent parties of the corresponding Spanish selection to the UEFA Nations League. Gavi And Busquets have offered a big level and in the Barça expect that, while Pedri still recovers of his physical annoyances, Of Jong can improve his football playing like interior.

The main problem for the Dutch is that his ideal position aims to the pivote and in this position Sergio Busquets is not reemplazable. Louis go Gaal planted it by in front of the defences in the last commitments of the selection of Holland for the World-wide of Catar 2022.

In the parties that the "orange" contested against Latvia and Gibraltar Of Jong commando the game from backwards in the 4-3-3 prepared by Go Gaal, with Klaassen (Ajax) in one of the interiors, whereas in the another inner were had Til (Feyenoord) and Wijnaldum (PSG).

Of Jong feels very comfortable reading the expensive football to face. Koeman, that knows it well, has put it to fungir like líbero in occasions when it has used the 3-5-2. To the Dutch costs him more when it has to outline or turn like interior or do a good tactical reading, especially defensive.

Be attentive to the back

Playing like interior, Of Jong needs to be more consistent and treat to cover him the back to Busquets when the captain advances to initiate the pressure in the area of his rivals. With the Spanish selection, saw a perfect synchronisation of Gavi and Koke or Rodri in the interiors so that the Barcelona captain managed excelentemente in the medullary what carried it to win the title of better footballer of the Final Four.

In a system with four defences deep down, is very important that the two footballers that play in the sides of the medullary do not neglect the defensive surveillance. A good example is that Koeman mounted in cholera when Nico did not follow to Lemar in the first goal rojiblanco in the last party against the Athletic of Madrid. This error also vió with the Bayern of Munich, one that Of Jong committed.

A promising player

In any case, the midfield player is an essential piece in the Barça and will keep on being it. In three seasons already has played 101 official parties and his agreement finishes in 2026. To his 24 years the still has a lot of potential for developing and is a footballer that gets along with the philosophy of the club, but also has to take advantage of the margin of improvement that has to be competent so much in the offensive as in the defence.
