Frenkie de Jong and Barcelona were a natural fit, but three years later, it seems that Camp Nou has limited his talent. So is Old Trafford more suitable for him? What about future developments?

Frenkie de Jong (Frenkie de Jong) and Barcelona were a match made in heaven, but today, three years later, it seems that Camp Nou has limited his talents. So whether Old Trafford Which one is more suitable for his future development?

According to foreign media reports, Barcelona has priced Frenkie de Jong at 56 million pounds, plus additional amounts. If the talks between the two parties are successful, the transfer is expected to be completed this week. By then, Frenkie de Jong will be able to join the newly appointed coach Erik ten Hag reunited at Old Trafford. In the 2018/19 season, Erik ten Hag, then the head coach of Ajax, led the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League, although they were eventually defeated by Tottenham with a better goal difference. But at that time, Frenkie de Jong was showing his full potential under Erik ten Hag.

In the summer of 2019, Barcelona competed with Man City, Juventus and PSG to recruit this midfield star of tomorrow, and Barcelona became the ultimate winner. In the past three years at the Nou Camp, due to financial Due to problems and changes in management, Frenkie de Jong, who had high hopes that day, has so far failed to meet the expectations of the fans.

If Frenkie de Jong leaves Barcelona this summer, it may be that Barcelona has met the right person at the wrong time.

Even after playing for three seasons, Frenkie de Jong has not been able to fully integrate into the Camp Nou. He has not become a person who can dominate the game like Pedri or Gavi, nor has he become a team player. The best midfielder. On the other hand, he failed to replace Sergio Busquets as the defensive midfielder and failed to establish his role in the team. Therefore, leaving Barcelona may be a last resort.

Frenkie de Jong played 89 games for Ajax and worked with Erik ten Hag for 18 months. He won the league and the Dutch Cup with the team before moving to Barcelona. became a local double. champion, and Frenkie de Jong also has great trust in Erik ten Hag's tactical arrangements.

The first professional team Frenkie de Jong played for was Willem II. At that time, he was thin and did not attract the attention of a big team like Ajax. He entered the first two years of his eighteenth year. On the same day, he got his first chance to play in the league, and then Ajax signed him.

A former Ajax coach told BBC that Frenkie de Jong is the most explosive player among the players he coaches, and his excellent ball control ability allows him to have more plans on the court. time and space, thus making the offense more threatening.

Erik ten Hag knows that Frenkie de Jong can improve the team's offensive ability, and he needs to be arranged in the most suitable position to fully allow Frenkie de Jong to display his talent. Erik ten Hag noticed that Barcelona arranged Frenkie de Jong as the "No. 10 player". In an interview with Dutch TV, he mentioned that Frenkie de Jong is not the source of the team's goals, but the source of the team's goals. The one who delivers the teleport to the player who assists or creates a goal.

During the Ajax period, Erik ten Hag mainly used Frenkie de Jong as the defensive midfielder, but the work he was responsible for was different from that of Barcelona. Frenkie de Jong serves as the core midfielder, and his position is relatively deep. As a midfielder, Frenkie de Jong's ability is undoubted. He is good at instigating attacks in the backcourt. Under the escort of double central defenders, smooth attacks follow, and the goalkeeper often takes the ball. Teleported directly to its feet. When entering the heart of the opponent's zone, Frenkie de Jong will walk around the outside of the penalty area. He will not shoot. Instead, he will move with the ball, allowing his teammates to be in an unattended position in the penalty area, through the strong and weak sides. Shift to use more space.

will take over the Dutch national team again after this World Cup. Ronald Koeman has worked with Frenkie de Jong for a period of time in Barcelona and the national team. He is also recognized as the one who knows how to use Frenkie de Jong best. ·De Jong’s coach.In a recent interview with Barcelona media, he commented that Frenkie de Jong is a player who can help Barcelona, ​​and also revealed that Frenkie de Jong still hopes to stay at Camp Nou.

Currently Pogba , Mata and Nemanja Matic have been confirmed to leave the team. Manchester United 's midfielder is lacking a creative player. Therefore, Frenkie de Jong has been It is regarded as an important piece of the puzzle after Erik Ten Hag took over the team.

Manchester United have recently shown their determination to sign Frenkie de Jong, showing the changes Erik Ten Hag expects Frenkie de Jong to bring to the team, and he is known as the "master of low-key" To describe Frenkie de Jong’s abilities. Frenkie de Jong does not attract everyone's attention with his ability to control passes like Marco Verratti or Thiago Alcantara. On the contrary, he is more simple and unpretentious like Xavi , but he is the person who makes the entire team successful.

The joining of Frenkie de Jong can inject clear ideas into the disorganized playing style of Red Devils , especially the miserable midfield, and inject confidence into his teammates on the court. He is not shy about having the ball at his feet, but will actively ask to receive passes from his teammates. If the team can rearrange the midfield around him, he will definitely be able to play his part in the team. However, the midfield partner must have experience and trust in his teammates, which Barcelona lacks.

Frenkie de Jong is good at receiving passes in the backcourt and leading his teammates to create space for him by running with the ball, allowing the team to take the initiative on the offensive. Even if he is in a position where there is not much space, he can still advance flexibly, draw a foul from his opponent, and then pass the ball to a teammate who can assist or shoot. Looking at the current football world, I believe it is difficult to find another player who can compare with Frenkie de Jong's ability.
