The Dutch midfielder of FC Barcelona, Frenkie de Jong, set a great performance in the azulgraine win at the last league match against Valencia CF, a match in which Barça’s ’21’ was starting for the first time this season in LaLiga Ea Sports and in which he contributed to the triumph of his team with a goal.
The one that could be the last season of Frenkie de Jong at FC Barcelona did not start in the way that both the club and the player expected. Aquejo of an ankle injury, the Dutch not only lost the Eurocup last summer, but also did the same with the beginning of the course. Thus, the International did not debut until October 10 in the season, in the win in the Champions League against Young Boys.
However, Marc Casadó’s emergence and the good performance of players like Pedri, Fermín, even the one also injured at the beginning of the Gavi course, made the minutes he had of Jong were not those desired by the player. In addition, his performance in the few minutes on the grass was very far from remembering the best version of the player for which the Club Culé paid more than 80 million to Ajax.

Before Real Betis, the midfielder enjoyed his third ownership in the season, and responded in the grass with his best football. In the Barça win, Barça ’21’ gave balance and control to the team completing 96% of its passes.
A party that has given continuity in the following two played.

He was precise with the ball completing 89 percent of the passes he tried and generating a goal occasion. In addition, he was close to giving the victory to the Catalans with a great hit from outside the area that forced a great stop by David Soria.
And if there has been a match in which the Dutch has remembered his best version, that is that of Valencia. Before the team ‘Che’, by Jong, he was the helm of the game of Flick and all the plays passed through his boots, again exhibiting his ability to arrive to the rival area. In fact, he managed to open the can, with an undetectable arrival for the Valencian rear that ended up embroidering. In addition, he showed his best version in the pass (95% success) and in defense, with one hundred percent of won duels.
In general terms, Frenkie de Jong is with 92.8 percent success in passes the best LaLiga EA Sports 2024-2025 midfielder in this section. The Dutch is also among the 10 media in terms of ball progressions and in the participation of plays that end in auction.

In total, the Flick team has scored 21 goals, an average of more than five goals, how much the Dutch has been part of the eleven, receiving four against, a medium lower than the 1.2 that fit into what is carried out seasonal
