Frenkie Of Jong, the fusion between Xavi Hernández and Deco

Frenkie Of Jong and Matthijs of Ligt are the two Dutch players with which the FC Barcelona wants to reinforce of face to the season that comes. In an interview for Sportive World, Henk Have Cate, that went the second trainer in the period in which Frank Rijkaard was the technician culé, analysed the possible signing of his two compatriots.

Have Cate is convinced that it has arrived the moment that so much Of Jong as Of Ligt abandon the Ajax: "they Are two players with a lot of talent, although the talent by himself only does not decide at all. The two have talent and the good head, and this is importantísimo. The logical is that they leave the Ajax this season and think that is the best decision for his careers. Here the League is too easy and need a more competitive competition".

The ex Barcelona technician thinks that his two compatriots are prepared to surrender in the elite, although it feels special devotion by Of Jong: "we Go to see if the next Dutch, can be Frenkie that has the qualities to play in the Barça and has the head well. Each day read of teams interested by him, Juve, City, Bayern... And he is treating everything of a very normal form. It is a natural talent. Of Ligt is another quality, is defender, is strong. The two have talent but different. To Of Jong is a pleasure see it play. It does not have fear, always has the control of the balloon".

In fact, Have Cate commented that it thinks that Of Jong is a mix between Deco and Xavi, two of the midfield players that he had in the staff when it was culé: "Of Jong can be a mix of Deco and Xavi, but he is Of Jong. Always it is difficult to compare players. So much Xavi like Deco were of another planet, Of Jong has the talent, but has to still show it and that respect him the injuries".

Why Of Jong remembers to Xavi and Deco?

The comparison that did Henk Have Cate of Of Jong with Xavi and Deco is not free, but the Dutch has some shots of the two. Of Xavi Hernández, possesses the ease with which drives the balloon and his serenity to look for always the best option in the pass. It is the engine of game of the Ajax and of the Dutch selection, as Savi was it in the Barça and the Spanish selection.

Also Of Jong resembles Deco, since it is a footballer that, in spite of having an enormous offensive power, also is effective tácticamente, presionando and recovering balloons. To his 21 years, the Dutch is in full progression and is question of time that abandon the Ajax. Who know if to play in the Camp Nou.
