The Dutchman expressed his preference for playing in the center of the field after the match against Valladolid
Frenkie De Jong he returned to play a full match. It did not matter that he was warned at the doors of the Classic. Koeman he does not hide the importance of his compatriot. And he uses everything, although De Jong is clear about his predilection: “I prefer to play in the middle, but if it is better for the team to play central or in another position, I do it, “he said into the club’s microphones at the end of the game against Valladolid.
“We have changed the system quite a lot today and I have played in many positions,” added the Dutchman, who started from central, I pass to the center of the field in the second half, when Barça needed to take a step forward, and at the last minute assisted in Dembelé’s goal from the right side. Wherever he is required, De Jong complies, but he is clear about where he feels most comfortable.
So one of the doubts facing the Classic will be De Jong’s position. With the return of Pique and the probable ownership of Araujo After completing his set-up, everything indicates that De Jong would move to the center of the field with Busquets and Pedri to try to refute the trident formed by Casemiro, Kroos and Modric, one of the great strengths of Real Madrid.
And the sacrificed? Considering that it seems difficult for Koeman to move the system, so Dest and Sunrise They would occupy the sides, there are not many names left. Messi is indisputable and Dembélé is key for its speed and overflow, so it would be Griezmann who would fall from the eleven to form with a plan similar to that of Sánchez Pizjuán, who gave such good results to Barcelona.
Koeman has five days ahead of him to think about the matter, but surely the possibility of overtaking De Jong and sacrificing Griezmann, who would remain like a bullet in the chamber, is on his mind. And what a bullet, one of 120 million euros.
