Luuk de Jong returns to his old ways: He tiptoed through Vitoria

Of the party of the FC Barcelona against the Sportive Alavés can stand out very few things. Pedri González was, probably, the best player of the Barcelona, but of rest save few or directament any, especially in the attack. The team leaves with three points of Vitoria, but with the imperial need to improve after the stop FIFA.

They have been a lot of the errors of a Barça that, by moments, left the feeling that it had not presented in Mendizorroza. In spite of the victory, has been probably the greyest party of the team since Xavi Hernández arrived to the bench. Anybody reacted or risked of more. Frenkie Of Jong saved the ballots and avoided a disaster that could have been monumental.

Not even a Luuk of Jong, that came being key for the Barça with three goals in three parties, was able to mark the difference. Had two clear occasions: a shot inside the area that refused Pacheco and a volley after a centre of Pedri, but little more. The Dutch, like the rest of the team, happened on tiptoe by Vitoria and left a lot of doubts in his deployment, although it would be unfair 'suspend it' in a clash in which few saved .

The Barça trusts Of Jong

Independently of his little participation in the crash in Vitoria, from the Camp Nou are loved with the 2022 that has signed Luuk of Jong. When it has been available, has been indisputable headline for Xavi, that values his implication with the team although in the past year had very few opportunities and remained, practically, relegado to the bench.

It is thus that the intention of the Barça is to give him continuity and conserve it until it finish his cession, in the month of July. It is a player that can 'desatascar' a party with a finish of head. And this is important. The case is that it has to have continuity to improve his staged and, preferably, avoid happen unobserved as it happened in Vitoria.
