The Portuguese coach was impressed by the midfielder's performance against Germany and claims he's already the complete player
Portuguese coach André Villas-Boas has joined the list of people to praise the performance of FC Barcelona's latest signing Frenkie de Jong. Despite Holland slipping to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Germany, the midfielder looked a class above the rest in a Busquets-esque performance as he dropped in between the two centre backs.
In an interview with 'Voetbal International', Villas-Boas claims that De Jong reminds him of Rafael van der Vaart and Wesley Sneijder in terms of his technical ability. "He's incredible. I like players who are above average when it comes to technical and tactical ability. The players who help form others around them."
The coach also spoke about how the Dutchman pressured his opponents and what he could do with the ball. "De Jong has that technique, the same as players in the class of Van der Vaart and Sneijder. He's one of those players who controls the ball and has that classic Dutch style."
