By moments De Jong and Lenglet had remained out of the criticisms, although after their last performances have appeared some critics on their regularity. They have to improve
The bad moment that presents the Barça is clear by some results, his position in the table clasificatoria and the low performance to close parties. This plants in the focus of the criticisms to some players, in positions where has to have more character and personality.
Such is the case of the Dutch Frenkie Of Jong and of the French Clément Lenglet, those who in his second and third season respectively, expects that they give the jump to defend the T-shirt as they did it in his moment players that exerted in the same positions like Xavi in the mediocentro and Puyol like central defence, historical of the club blaugrana. Saving the distances, clear, but at least with an intensity and tarpaulin that correspond to what in his day the Barça paid by his respective signings.
The youngster Of Jong arrived to the Barça in the summer of 2019, left backwards a traspaso that already was almost official to the PSG, with the complicity of Overmars and the sportive director of the Ajax and also of Koeman, the one who convinced it to get dressed of Barcelona. The mediocentro contested the Champions 2018-19, when the Ajax attained to arrive to semifinals with young stars but could not with the Tottenham.
The arrival of Frenkie of Jong, fichado by 75 millions, would transform the future of the mediocentro Barcelona, with his big prestige in spite of his youth (23 years), and even in Holland arrived it to compare with Johan Cruyff. In his first season was not of the all to taste, because of the tactical approach with a 4-3-3, in which few times could lucir in his natural position.
It was in several places in the field of game, like interior, that was one of the demarcations where could stand out. The one of head office did not like, and the one of mediocentro, in his position originaria, neither was the ideal. Only it added two goals, four assistances and could not finish playing the last parties of his first season in LaLiga by injury.
Now, for his second season 2020-2021, has more leadership by the exits of a lot of players of the Catalan club, but in 10 meetings contested has not conceded assistances, neither neither has marked goals. The directors, his representative and his trainer Ronald Koeman expect that it take a step forward and lead the clean exits in the medullary of the terrain of game. Precisely, it arrived to the Barça to build the future and the tactical system 4-2-3-1 can not be an obstacle for Frenkie, because it was a very seemed approach to the of the Ajax.
By his part, the French Clément Lenglet in his third season, and has not done to notice the leadership that demands his position of game. It attained to be part of the central saga beside Gerard Hammered, from the exit by injury of his compatriot Umtiti. However, it had to do charge of the defensive line after the injury of Hammered and here is where have seen more his deficiencies, since it has been protagonist in the last defensive disasters of the team blaugrana. The Tuesday, in front of the Juventus by the League of Champions, fulfilled 100 parties with the Barcelona and lamentably left a grey image.
One of his main qualities was theoretically the mental balance that showed in field, and now has lost that handle that it characterised it. In his last presentation noticed him wrong in the 0-2 in front of the Juventus, originated the penalti so that the Italians planted 0-3 and caused that the technician replaced it to take care it of face to the party of gone of the eighth of final of Champions League.
Lenglet Adds a Supercopa of Spain 2018 and a League in 2019. Also it has been international with all the inferior categories of the French selection, debuting of official way with his absolute selection, specifically on 11 June 2019 by a duel in the Eliminatory of Eurocopa 2020 in front of Andorra, where France goleó 4-0.
Of Jong and Lenglet, the most used by Koeman
The Dutch and the French, for the moment, are fixed for Ronald Koeman adding to the Argentinian star Leo Messi. Especially Of Jong, that recopila 1.294 minutes in 15 parties, and 14 like titling. Whereas Lenglet is the third with more time in field, possesses 1.076 minutes in 14 duels like titling. Between so much, Messi keeps in the second place with 1.214 minutes in 14 clashes.
