'Master class' by Frenkie de Jong promoted by Oriol Romeu

One of the explanations of the triumph of the FC Barcelona on the Real Madrid has been the approach of Xavi Hernández with four midfield players. It had been the drawing that better results had given him in the last season and, in this, everything seems to indicate to that it will be equal. It has allowed that the team have more control and see more compensated defensivamente. Also they have been the first proofs of two 'couples' that will give a lot of what speak in the next months.

A new 'pair' in the Barça of Xavi

And it is that in addition to the first cinceladas of quality that have left Pedri and Gündogan in the first 45 minutes of the party, the true leading of the centre of the Barcelona field have been Frenkie of Jong and Oriol Romeu, those who coincided in the base of the played. Both have been the angular stone of the team and were keys so that, again, the team offered guarantees defensivamente. They did not play in a double pivote, but yes that they delivered the tasks in the room of machines.

In paper, everything seemed to indicate to that it would be the player formed in The Masia the one who went to appear in a more delayed position for 'connect' with the central and give exit of balloon, but was Frenkie of Jong the one who had more visited in the field and almost 'hit' to the couple of head offices. Romeu, by his part, etuvo a bit more advanced for 'sweep' the centre of the field. The bet worked him, of wonders, to Xavi Hernández.

This has been the first time that Frenkie and Oriol coincide in the terrain of game. Both had played in the party against the Arsenal, but no together. They have paginated and it supposes a big news so that Xavi define to which will be, probably, his 'couple' of mediocentros in this season. The tulip, especially, exhibited with a defensive deployment that braked, in a lot of occasions, to the Real Madrid when it added to the attack.

Of Jong 'goes out' against the Madrid

The ex of the Ajax had the opportunity of descolgarse and was key for the clean exit of the balloon. His incidence was more than notorious, something that confirm his statistics. In 77 minutes, had a precision of 92.4% of his passes, gave five balloons in long of successful way, dribbled thrice (of three attempts), won seven of ten duels and signed two 'tackeles'. It insists in installing in the medullary... And it goes to achieve it, except unexpected twist of script.
