The FC Barcelona achieved the past Wednesday announce what was expecting from did a lot of months: the signing of Frenkie of Jong. The Barcelona group struggled during months to be able to do with the services of the Dutch midfield player, since it considered him the ideal reinforcement for the centre of the field.
The reason by which in the sportive direction were got obsessed with Of Jong is clear: when seeing him recognised perfectly the shots futbolísticos of some of the legends of the Barcelona team during the last decade. The talent of the Dutch was enormous, as well as the variety of technical and tactical resources that possesses.
In occasions, remembers us a lot to several mythical players culés. Tácticamente, Of Jong is a beast. His big anticipation and reading of game allows him recover a lot of balloons since it always is used to to be very very positioned. Some qualities that remember us a lot to the ones of Sergio Busquets, that shines in the position of mediocentro defensive.
But if by something stands out Of Jong is by his technician. The born midfield player in Arkel has a lot of serenity with the balloon in the feet and is able to raise the head, look for the best option and give a precise pass to break the lines of the rival, as it did Xavi Hernández. Besides, these vertical drivings in which it uses his dribbling for pillar to the rivals by surprise, also is very of Andrés Iniesta.
Xavi already him elogió

The ex Barcelona thinks that the players of the Ajax have a profile of game that adapts well to what requires in the Camp Nou.
"It is a pivote type Busquets, that also can play of interior. But the school of the Ajax is a bit of the style of the school of the Barça, all come of the Dutch school, of Cruyff. It is young but could contribute a lot of things, already sees him a talent very beast, would be a footballer to take into account, very good player", commented the midfield player of Terrassa.
