Hat trick for him too.

Certain Suarez would have missed all the goals he scored, heck, he wouldn't have even gotten into those positions to score sef.

Bimmarlykay:
Don't ever mention Jong alongside Kroos.

Ballerina can't even do long balls to save his wife.

Take this from a Barça fan.

The most prominent similarity between Dejong and Kroos is press resistance. Other things like long balls, defending, duels, leadership and showing up in big games Dejong is nowhere near lol.

The coachable Rakitic a CM spent his peak years at Barca playing on the right side. Yes he was a CM on paper but when Barca won the UCL, he was doing an excellent job covering the whole right side for Messi and making the system work for Enrique. Tell Dejong to do that work, nah so so stories.

Xavi knew Dejong is good but didn't trust him disciplined/coachable enough to screen his defense that's why he was crying for a DM.

Messi is up for the biggest trophy in US. Come 6th of December, we feast 😛. Baba no know wetin be trophy-less season

Of course there are things Kroos is better at the Frenkie de Jong but perhaps it was possible for Kroos to explore other areas of his game because he had a dependable Casemiro beside him. A pleasure which Frenkie de Jong currently do not enjoy.

A question: Do you think Toni Kroos would have been the midfielder he's been regarded as today, if he were the sole DM for Real Madrid? What do you think AirBere 🤔 😏

This is a very easy question bro lol. Vintinha is shorter, weaker, less experienced than Dejong. He started as a CM, went on loan to Wolves and was arguably the biggest flop that season in the EPL, returned to Porto, continued playing as a CM. He then joined PSG as a CM and was paired with Ugarte by Enrique. Later Enrique saw Ugarte was poor on the ball, introduced Vintinha as the DM. That season, they went on to win the UCL.

Like Vintinha, Kross is coachable so yes he would've still done well as a DM. Dejong Isn't coachable at all. He does what he wants on the pitch.

Thiago Alcantra known for twisting and turning like Dejong was a CM but won UCL playing as DM under Flick.

Cahnoglu of Inter Milan was an AM throughout his career until he joined inter and became one of the best DM in the world, winning serie A and playing UCL final twice. It's about paying attention to details and being coachable.

I tell you, if Pedri is trained to play DM, he'll do better than Dejong in that role because he's a listener and ready to learn kind of player.

If you need more examples, hit me up.

Aston villa even lost to go ahead eagles sef

Na all this nonsense results dey make me laff EPL fans claim the top 10 in their league will dominate La Liga.

We are partly to blame sha for these statements after our loss to Chelsea, even the Newcastle win was tagged luck of not them not finishing their chances rather than our performance, we now have to grudgingly hope Madrid beats city to save some pr
Thankfully there's the knockouts and all we need to do is play well

If we don't support this man between now and next summer,I suspect he'll leave, man's probably fed up of seeing the same lack of commitment over and over again, raphinha even had to reassure him we'll improve but with the holes in our team esp defence it'll still be a problem

This is a fallacy, bro. First of all, you have never attended training with Frenkie de Jong nor are you privy to the specific requirements given to him by Hansi Flick during said training.
Do you think Flick is the kind of manager to play players who do not follow instructions or are not coachable?

You keep mentioning Vitinha but you never for once mention his defensive midfield partners like Joao Neves or Fabian Ruiz, who are defensive first midfielders. You make it seem that Vitnha plays the position all by himself.

Besides, Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka were the major defensive midfielders for Bayern during there 2020 UCL win, not only Thiago Alcantara.

In the end, what I am saying is that defensive work is effort for the whole team. It is clear that this season, Barca's defensive game has been a disaster. We don't have a consistent CB pairing and this matters alot.

Singling out FdJ is not right, as the components around him is far from good at this time. Jules Kounde has been so poor this season with his defensive actions, worsening all the issues we're facing defensively.

andrewbaba44:

Because Real Madrid immediately signed Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga, also already having the ever energetic Federico Vervede.

Who did Barca sign when Busquet left? They converted a CM whose strength isn't tackling and breaking up play, to go play DM and then surrounded him with bunch of clowns, who also doesn't know how to win ball from a cone.

Now, it is convenient to single out FdJ because he fits the narrative

this man leave na Man U era we go enter

Make dem find money give this man abeg

Flick only took the Barca job without spending power because he was desperate to prove himself after that horrible spell at the German national team ,everyone knows he is a good coach but no one wanted to risk .

We are even lucky the likes of man united and Chelsea didn’t put mind on him ,because those ones get 500M to spend on players


Make dem better drop money

This!!

I don't understand how people sit up and still formulate silly excuses for De Jong. Which one is the club didn't pair him up with a good DM.
If you're good you're good abeg.

Pedri that is paired with De Jong at DM is still the one that does all the defensive work for De Jong in the same pitch they're both on. And you can't even compare Pedri and De Jong's contributions in attack at all. So what is De Jong good at.

Na key passes? No. Baba is more interested in spinning like DJ Spinall than passing it forward. Ask De Jong for a simple pass? MBA, he prefers to trek with the ball to come give it to you. Slows down the tempo a great deal.

People saying Casado this and that...... Wasn't it continuously playing De Jong that made him even manageable under Flick when he came. Has Casado enjoyed the same playing time as De Jong this season or even last season.
If Casado is left with consistent matches to keep improving and perfecting his game, you'll forget about De Jong in a short while.

That guy is more of aesthetics. How suddenly does people appreciate the quality of Garcia in DM than someone who different coaches have been trying to adapyto that role for more than 5 years.
I remember Roberto was used as DM in his final season with Xavi and we became suddenly praising Roberto that season. Person wey na curses fans wan use finish am on a normal day unless na El Clasico or ATM. How come everyone adapted to DM role performed way better than De Jong that different coaches have been trying with.

This is even funnier and annoying when you remember the team has been reshaped a few times in favour of De Jong so as to accommodate his weaknesses or help him perform better.

We don't use double pivot. But because of the weakling we do now. And yet the fraud isn't even better at defensive duties than Pedri that was adapted to that role in just a season. This is the height of incapability. Him just useless.
I remember one time when Xavi I think was using Gavi as the third attacker upfront to make up for the defensive liability in De Jong. We were sacrificing an attacker for midfield solidity and integrity to cover the lapses of the flailing Dutchman. Gavi was pushed to the left but more often that not we see him in exactly the defensive positions you'd expect De Jong to be in for most of the matches.

Left to me I for don sell this guy to Man Utd for €65mn since. But as always, his fans will always come out and bring silly and nonsensical excuses like the club didn't sign so and so for him. Which Kain useless talk be that one.
Na him be coach wey dem dey sign player for.

Fallacy bawo

Dejong isn't coachable and his average position in the DM position shows that. The coach will put him as a DM, he'll stray away from his position and be driving forward unnecessarily. I remember a game Vs Napoli in UCL abi Europa where he did something like that which got Xavi really pissed. If he was coachable like Vintinha, he'll stay and maintain his position in the red zone. Xavi saw this and demanded a DM asap. DM issues is one of the reasons Xavi left Barca.

You dey funny me sha lol. Midfield partners isonu. Pedri and Gavi are what? Pedri and your friend weakling Olmo are what? No be partners because nah Dejong. Excuses must always be made for Dejong. Calganuglu that played DM and played two UCL finals are his partners better than Pedri, Gavi, Olmo?

Baba go watch the games lol. Kimmich was a right back under Flick and Goretxka never played DM anywhere even at Shalke or the German national team. Goretxka was/is a CM and have never played DM anywhere even in his dreams. Flick had Kumich at RB, Goretxka CM and Thiago screening the back 4 as DM. Watch the games or at least make some research before entering convos nah lol.

Kroos, like Vintinha would've been successful without DM.

Schweitiger started as left winger, became a CM and won the world cup playing as a defensive midfielder.

Dejong is a good player though but he's a luxury player.

Who are the clowns that can't win a ball from a cone? Mention names please not talking from both sides of your mouth.
Is it Gavi, Pedri or Casado? They all win balls and interceptions far better than De Jong in a million times.

De Jong was mostly bought as the replacement for Busquets to take over when he's retired. Let's not try and be disingenuous in this argument and start twisting facts.
If De Jong wasn't the actual DM we bought to fill that role, why hasn't Barca bought a solid DM for 7yrs now? Abi una think say na 2 seasons ago De Jong joined Barca.

De Jong is the problem if he can't function properly without people holdiyhis hands and saving his blushes all the time.

He can go to another club and flourish.... But at Barca, nah bruh. The role required of him he hasn't fulfilled half his duties.
.I can even make a bet that Fermin Lopez who's an AM will be a better DM than De Jong anyday anytime. It's damn so obvious to anyone who opens and uses his eyes to see the game.

There is a very concerning video making rounds on twitter.

A rather gloomy and melancholic Hansi Flick sat alone on the bench after the match yesterday, pensive looking and was seen being consoled by Raphinha. Even though the team won the game and is provisionally top of the league, Hansi Flick clearly wasn't impressed by the performance.

That's not the image of a man who is enjoying their work.

I am worried about this image and I won't be surprised if Hansi Flick gives in by end of his contract. You can't employ a manager and not support him in the transfer market while his peers in other clubs spends hundreds of millions of euros each season.

Instead of building a stronger squad after doing domestic treble last season, ironically, we got weaker this season. No where near the level we showed last season in key defensive positions except the goal keeping area. But there is so much a goal keeper can do.

When it was more than obvious we needed a DM badly in Xavi's last season and we were almost killed off..... Xavi realised too late to play Christensen there and we could clearly see the changes and stability Chris brought to that position while he played there at the tail end of the season.

Was he a DM?

But people are more interested in formulating heaps of excuses for De Jong.

And how many times have Christensen been available to play this DM? You have to be available to play and Christensen has missed more games than the ones he is available to play. As a coach, you want continuity and consistency so you can build something on top it.

Schweitiger played DM won world cup. Enzo played DM, won world cup. Pirlo at old age played DM for Juventus reached UCL final. Calganuglu a known Attacking midfielder converted to DM played there and reached two UCL finals, Vintihhna won nations league and UCL playing DM. Rice played DM and reached Euros final....etc.

All these CMs played DM and achieved or got far in the hardest competitions but Dejong must be surrounded by Xavi, Inietsa, Zidane, Petit, Viera, Casemiro, Kante, Yaya, Alonso etc in order to reach at least one UCL/WorldCup/Euros final.

Are you aware that Lasecher Schone the DM who gave Dejong the platform to venture forward as a CM was playing as an attacking midfielder prior to that thier super season which they reached UCL semi-final? Can Dejong screen the back 4 like that and give a younger CM the platform to perform like Schone did for him? He's a luxury player at best.

Loooooooooool

You know what's actually funny and should be the agenda that should be championed? The EPL is actually an underperformer.... A big underperformance at that!!

I mean, #20 in EPL earns more money in TV rights deal than even Atletico Madrid #3 in Spain. And you're struggling against minnows and have the temerity to be saying La Liga is performing poorly.

Atletico collected about €97mn last season. And that's in Euros oo... Not pounds.
So someone earning at least £125mn pounds and struggling with far smaller teams and begins to shout superiority when the top teams from the league wins is just plain crazy work.

The EPL is more or less just like De Jong....all activity with little to show for it.
Just a bunch of average teams with money struggling for who's to be the top dawg.

Give clubs like Real Betis, Celta Vigo, Real Sociedad €125mn per season and you'll know what real top 4 battle is. Not that rubbish they play at the EPL and call it competition.

The season I more than confirmed my conviction for EPL self proclaimed "competitiveness" was pure marketing gimmick was when Man City playing the most shitty football they've played for half a decade and still managed to make the top 4 and qualified for UCL.

Man City that everybody was beating left right centre both in Champions League and EPL managed to scale through in the dying end. An out of depth Guardiola and Man City after losing Rodri could still stage a comeback towards the end of the season despite hanging in around 6-7 position for significant number of the season and was looking like they wouldn't make it to UCL.

Now someone will now come and tell me that Barca and Madrid won't come and dominate that league of put there. Give us the at least £150mn the top two teams take in EPL and we'll make it another La Liga.... The rest like Man City and Liverpool and Arsenal will be the one settling for the scraps thrown to them.

Competitive my foot.... Na him person win 4 seasons in a roll, back to back. Destroying all the records ever set in the same league while doing that. That thing pain dem Gon with all their noise making. That's why they hate Pep Guardiola.

andrewbaba44:

Leave JP lol. Kroos was the one holding Madrid and making them a serious UCL contender. Tchomeni/Veleverde both treat the ball like a timed bomb while Camavinga thinks midfield work is about running sideways and shaking his long hair from left to right while spending time with club doctors.

Kroos that'll drop between CBs, get the ball from from them and progress it forward. Not only that, he showed serious personality in big games. Since e comot Madrid wetin Tchomeni and Camavinga don do lol.

Modric a CM is now 40 years old and now playing DM for both club and country. Qualified them for world cup while his AC Milan are now on top of the league. But Dejong needs 3 Kante, 6 Redondo, and 2 Xavi in order to perform.

andrewbaba44:

But they're good ball winners and clean tacklers. FdJ doesn't possess these qualities. None of Barca players does expect maybe Gavi to some extent.

I'm not talking about Chris this season. I'm bringing it up to destroy your excuses that De Jong wasn't bought for the role.

Other players who play from very different positions in the club has played there and flourished. Sergi Roberto's last season with us was in DM and he miraculously played well there.

This season we have Casado to play there but Flick is held captive by the De Jong apologists like you who can't see no wrong in De Jong's play.

We clearly saw what a Casado x Pedri pivot could do. Not pairing other peeps with De Jong. Cos that guy will drain you physically with nothingness cos you'd be the one doing everything yourself.

Garcia that played DM from last season or so has continued showing that quality. Pedri also plays the same DM role De Jong plays in since last season and contributes more offensively as well.

These are different players that have adapted and worked on a role De Jong is taking all his life to get into.

It'll take a real miracle for Gerrard Martin to make it here as a first team regular. No matter how good he becomes, it'll be very difficult for him simply because he looks like a comedian/diplomat from Pakistan/India. He just doesn't look like a serious CB that can strike fear in the eyes of the opponent. He sometimes look really clumsy but he's doing fine to be honest.

This may sound controversial and I'm not judging from last game but I think he's better at CB than LB, hes also a better LCB than Eric Garcia. He wins more duels and his "passing from the back is more clean because he's left footed and plays the LCB"

But like I said, his face doesn't look serious at all. If he looked like the guy below, may be he would've been trusted by now because for me, he looked better there. Was good during pre season and the last two Laliga games at CB.

At the end of the day, football isn't by looks and if he's good enough he'll play enough simple.

I'll like to see him Vs a serious contender in the UCL before praising him fully.
