Frenkie de Jong's row with Jordi Alba
The Dutchman told off the Spaniard during the Sevilla defeat
Frenkie de Jong faced the media after the defeat by Sevilla. “It was a difficult game, especially in the first half. 2-0 is tough, we haven’t scored and that was important.”
It’s not the first time he’s been the one to speak up when the team is suffering. He never hides, on or off the pitch. He has taken a step forward this season and each day becomes more important in the squad.
The Dutch international is earning the right to be considered one of the leaders of the team and showed t at the Sanchez Pizjuan.
In the 44th minute, Aleix Vidal had overcome Jordi Alba and De Jong turned to his team-mate to remonstrate with him. Frenkie gestured to Alba, who accepted his error. The Spaniard has been here for much longer but now De Jong feels capable of taking charge of this kind of situation.
His confidence is growing with Ronald Koeman in charge and his criticism is only designed to raise the level of the team.
