Even grills complimented him wow
I swear I am a FC Barcelona fan. If the management tries to do something wrong with this player then I won't for the team anymore. There are a lot of true Barca fans who are really upset with the way the board signs players and don't use them. This player is a gem. He might take time to settle but eventually he can do a lot of things for Barcelona.
Frenkie de jong IQ400 😎
wtf is this. Its being brought as it is something scientific. It is just a talented player from Ajax, The Netherlands. Nothing more, nothing less. (im from NL).
Dutch people are so dope
"Football is easy. But playing easy football is often the most difficult thing to do." -Johan Cruijff
This phrase, in my opinion, characterizes a big part of Frenkie's qualities.
He is always confident on the ball, never panics, keeping his cool. Passing left and right, he never puts his teammates into trouble. He waits for the right moment.. The right timing.. and then he is off. The bridge between defense and offense.
Sure. He is fast. He has a good technique. But who doesn't? His sharp mind and his flawless timing are the reason he has such great potential. KOMOP MORGEN AJAX PAK DIE SPAGETTIVRETERS TERUG VOOR '96! _90 MINUTEN LANG!!
Arthur- de Jong- Puig: Xavi- Busquets- Iniesta v2.0
Football is played with the mind and not with the legs
Johan Cruijff
extremly talented middlefielder
Didn't know Bartomeu spoke english
Modric isn’t comfortable falling back 😂😂😂
Anoten… MATÍAS PALACIOS SUB 17 🇦🇷 DE ( SAN LORENZO 🔴🔵🇦🇷) ES EL FUTURO MESSI
It is a shame that Dutch football wont allow itself to progress. They just sell all the talent as soon as possible… How awesome would it be if every Ajax player of the current team (17-4-2019) would decline offers from big teams and they would collectively decide to make dutch football great again. THEY COULD BECOME LEGENDS!
Mark my words Holland will win the next World cup
After Ajax with Frenkie beating Real and Juve, 86M now seems like a steal for Barça.
pure majic
This video should have more action than talk coz actions speaks loder than words..
I wish him the best at Barca! He looks to be a truly great player
The Next Paul Scholes!!
Frankie De Jong is very versatile. I think is best position would be centre Midfield were he can defend and attack. An incredible Midfield would be:
De Jong, Kante, De Bruyne.
Kante: Act as the defensive hoover.
De Bruyne: As the Attacking playmaker.
De Jong: Bossing Midfield and dictating play.
Would be incredible to watch, but sadly probably will never happen.
Arthur, Busquets, De Jong is still pretty good though.
~Real Madrid & Juventus joined the conversation. 🤣🤣🤣
Proud of Ajax, go go Frenkie 😆 ❌❌❌ +★★ 5th UCL 🤗
wanker
0:19 he’s beginning to feel like a rap god
The best thing Ajax can do is sell three of these players maximum, if they want to avoid doing what Monaco did. I would make an agreement to sell one other player who is part of the spine of the team next summer. You can't sell more than one and expect to compete the following season. The Monaco model is wrong.
They will know him now.
subcribe my chanel If you admire de jong
!
he is the master%%
Who’s here after the most boring clasico ever
Apart from being a Messi fan boy and Spanish football fan, I didn't fully support any national team in Europe because
A. Spain national team had Madrid players 😅🙏🏼
B. No other style impressed me much other than the Spanish team ironically.
Germany are a great team but I never really loved or adored them either. But with the new generation of Dutch football players and the resurgence of the old Dutch football philosophy, this team just makes it incredible to watch on the screens. I love it all the way. Also there's the added presence of the likes of De Jong, De Ligt, Van Dijk, Winaldum, Van de Beek, Jasper cilessen and Memphis. I hope they win the euros next year
