Frenkie de Jong was once again the leader and soul of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona notices when Frenkie of Jong is 'enchufado' and participatory in all the actions, but especially when no. In the visit to ThePalms , although Ílkay Gündogan carried the 'MVP' of the night after his goal from the point penalti -that he same caused-, the Dutch has carried all the praises. It has gone back to be the director of orchestra that so much needs the Barcelona group and a player by whose boots happens the 'better' of the game.

The midfield player, that went back to the titularity after losing the last party -against Almería (3-2)- by accumulation of cards, commissioned to direct the room of machines and serve like guide and leader of a Barça that, in a lot of occasions, sails in unknown waters and does not find a lighthouse of light that situate him. Of Jong has commissioned to be that 'captain' that, although it sees firm earth far, insists until arriving there. And in nights so complicated like this, notices much more his effect.

The best played of the Barça 'happened' by of Jong

In the first part had little incidence by the 'grogui' that remained his team after the goal of Munir in the minute 12, but even like this was the one who 'rescued' to the culés to fall easily to the abyss and the one who, besides, understood what needed the clash. It filtered an ideal pass so that Sergi Roberto advanced to the Canarian defence in the first part and signed the only 'occasion' clear of the first part, although in his attempt to give the pass of the death to Ferran Torres, the shot intercepted it Marmol. It added more passes (32) that the one of Reus and Gündogan combined (22).

In the resumption commissioned , of some way, to give more sense to the game of a Barça that advanced lines and, more important still, began to move the balloon with a lot of more speed. Of Jong commissioned to be the 'light' in the centre of the field and multiplied to be able to command balloons to his mates and 'approach them' to the rival area. Besides, had his opportunity cone a finish from out of the area that finished in at all.

The data of the big performance of Frenkie of Jong

In the 90 minutes of the clash, improved the statistics of any player on the terrain of game. It signed 96 you touch, with 90% of tarpaulin (only eleven losses). With thirteen duels won (all those that tried), a finish blocked and seven 'tackles', more than any player. The Barça is conscious that the possible 'takeoff' of the team in this second stretch of the season 'raisin' because Frenkie can be available to lead the centre of the field.
