The call of Leo Messi to convince to Of Jong of his signing

Frenkie Of Jong converted the past Wednesday in player of the FC Barcelona for the next season. The Dutch midfield player was in mind of the technical office of the Catalan club from does months, even when Robert Fernández was the technical secretary, that went the first in fixing in his talent.

In spite of that in the last weeks has seeded uncertainty about his final decision by the interest of Paris Saint-Germain, the operation that the FC Barcelona came planning from does a lot has been able to close successfully. Even the father of the footballer recognised publicly a call of Leo Messi.

It was in a recent interview, although it also recognised that it was complicated that both players understood because of the barrier of the language. "Lionel Messi called personally to Frenkie. It was difficult because Messi does not speak English", commented the father of Frenkie of Jong, that expressed several times in the past that liked him the idea that his son dressed of Barcelona.

This call could be key for the Dutch. It is necessary to remember that, in crowd of interviews, had undone in praises for historical players of the FC Barcelona as they can be the own Leo Messi, Xavi Hernández or Andrés Iniesta. Play in the Camp Nou was his big wish of future and, from the next summer, will be able to see it fulfilled.

There are a lot of expectations put in this youngster crack, but lamentably will not be able to see him dressing the T-shirt of the Barça until the next season. The team culé, from then, will have a polyvalent player and with a technical capacity and tactics little common to his age.

I do not have at all that say, each one has his form to act", sentenced.
