Barcelona coach Xavi insists: I like De Jong
Posted Sunday, October 23, 2022 by Tribalfootball.com
Barcelona coach Xavi insists he can see Frenkie de Jong being part of their future.
Whilst De Jong hasn't been anywhere close to an ever-present in 2022/23, the Spanish coach doesn't believe he is at all a problem, despite reports linking him with a January transfer.
"Because of his potential I see him more as an inside player, although he is very good in defense," he said.
"I like him and he has tremendous potential, he has to be important.
"I see that he is better when he is in front of the ball, we have to get him in those positions."
