"For me, Frenkie De Jong is definitely the best Dutch player,"

"[Frenkie] is a top player, one of the players I like to watch. He's special,"  Modric adds. 

 could've asked for as it comes from a rival who is vastly experienced in the game and has won the Ballon d'Or.  

The Netherlands are blessed with some immensely talented players like 

, but for Modric, no one comes close to Frenkie among Dutch players.

'Nobody knows how things go': De Jong doesn't rule out Barca will try to sell him again in summer

] wanted to get rid of me for €80m last summer? Well... nobody knows how things go. Maybe this summer, it will be different again, but I feel good here,"

Onyia Pakins

give respect to whom respect is due, Roberto shld b captain regardless of him playing or not.. imagine u have younger brother who is doing well more dan u, den everyone in ur family disregard ur seniority n go to him for decision making in d family...

Awesome P

That’s exactly how it will be, if u are an elder brother who is not doing well…

Adebola

yes if u are elder brother who is not doing well..
u tink it will affect me or I will get angry?
stop being jealous 🙄

so ur birth right should go to ur younger because u av not yet succeed?

Imagine they listen to you and turn to your younger brother for approval of the idea, simply because he is better than you. Isn't it better not to come to you at all?

I think Barca has to take a second look at the Captaincy order. Sergi Roberto should be second after Ter Stegen. Reason being that, he'll not be playing most of the games, especially the crucial ones...

Roberto... Anyone knows why he is still on the field? Why he is the captain? Who is Roberto? If icons like alba and busquets stopped, why not sell dead wood Roberto?

De Jong should be captain before Araujo. He deserves it for his cool head.
