Frenkie de Jong (26 years old) could not avoid being bound by Barça in Naples (1-1) in the first leg of the round of 16 Champions League and the Dutch midfielder received harsh criticism from a famous countryman such as Rafael van der Vaartformer Real Madrid and Ajax player, among others, and current television commentator. Van der Vaart was not shy about pointing out the poor performance of De Jong on Italian soil and featured him abusing drives before passing the ball to his teammates.
“Frenkie de Jong plays football like a postman. He takes too long to pass the ball forward, instead he keeps running and brings it to his teammate. When you move away from your opponent, you must keep the ball moving and pass! the ball. !” he said Van der Vaart during his intervention on the Dutch channel ‘Ziggo Sport’ after Naples-Barça.
The harsh words of Van der Vaart about the performance of De Jong generated a great excitement in the Netherlands and we will see if they reach the ears of the footballer of Barça.
