Sergio Busquets accepts the competition from Frenkie De Jong

Sergio Busquets had a press conference ahead of the game against Vissel Kobe on Saturday. The Barcelona second captain spoke about Frenkie De Jong's debut against Chelsea, when he played as the pivote in the second half, and praised his signing even though he is direct competition.

"De Jong did very well, we saw him at Ajax, he's a great player," said Busquets of the Dutchman. "The coach will decide where he plays but he can adapt to both pivote and interior. In the two positions he does well. I'm happy with the competition because in the end it will benefit the whole team."

Busquets also spoke about Ousmane Dembele. "He looks better, we've only been here a few days and preseason is long, but it's been positive. We hope it's all easier. When you start it's hard for everyone, for the language, philosophy, and having differentteam-mates. I hope it all goes better because he has to give us a lot, his attributes are incredible."

On facing Andres Iniesta again: "Andres means a lot, to the players who come through the youth academy he made it easier for everything he was. We've lived in the club together and the national team and have a great friendship. I'ts special to meet him in a new stage of his career, it will be very strange to play against each other."
