FRenkie de Jong was in charge of addressing the media in advance of the Europa League match that Barcelona will play against Galatasaray on Thursday.
Stability
“It’s never a good sign to have four coaches in three years. I’ve felt good with all of them. When you don’t play well it’s not the coach’s fault, it’s your fault.”
Good time to come to Bara
“It always is. It’s one of the biggest in the world. Here you can enjoy the way it’s played. If we reinforce ourselves well next season, we can fight for everything.”
Performance
“I think I can improve and I’m working on it.”
Xavi
“I watch videos with him and he tells me how I should position myself at all times.”
Failure if the Europa League is not won
“I don’t think so. There are very good teams here and you can always have a bad day or the rival can do very well. The goal is to win it.”
Illusion for the Europa League
“Of course I do. We want to win titles. It’s a good competition, although we wanted to be in the Champions League. We want to win it”
best of jong
“I don’t know if it’s my best version. When people criticize me, it doesn’t hurt much. I think people don’t see the games well. If a journalist says something about a player, people don’t watch the games and believe him. When one says that De Jong is not well, people believe it. People do not watch the games much”
Moment
“I think we’re doing very well lately. We created chances and won games. We want to continue like this and improve this dynamic”
criticism of his game
“I feel good at the club. I feel comfortable and I want to continue and improve”
The match
“Galatasaray is a good team, but of course we are favourites”
Ownership with Nico and Gavi
“We have a lot of quality in midfield. I’m not afraid of the competition, I think it’s good for the team. I’m happy with that.”
Pedri
“He’s got enormous talent. It looks like it’s really easy what he does, but it’s not. He can score a bit here. Sure.”
Mazraoui
“He’s a good player. I can’t say if he’s going to come or not.”
