Frenkie Of Jong was one of the best of the pre-season of the FC Barcelona. The Dutch showed that it does not go to shiver him the pulse this campaign to lead the centre of the field barcelonista. But it began the League and Ernesto Valverde decided to have he like mediocentro defensive in Saint Mamés. The Barça lost and the Dutch did not find of the all how in front of the midfield of the bilbaínos.

Against the Betis and against the Osasuna went in in the eleven initial Sergio Busquets and this displaced to the ex of the Ajax like left interior. Although it has not been badly in any of the last meetings, have not been his best minutes like blaugrana.

The true is that the player carries only a month and little training with his new mates and with Ernesto Valverde. The technician still is doing adjust and still has not been able to take out the best of the mediocentro. It will be necessary to expect a time to value if the extremeño is able to improve the qualities of the international 'orange'.

For they Go Gaal, what is him sucediendo to Of Ligt is normal. "It is another culture, another structure, another form to play to the football.
