Frenkie de Jong

Frenkie had a decent game, but he also had to play the position that doesn't really suit him. He has his strength in carrying the ball forward. Pedri played the more offensive 6 yesterday and Frenkie fell back most of the time to the backline to build up the game from there. In Flick's system, Pedri and Frenkie don't really fit to play next to each other as both have their strengths playing the more offensive 6.
I fear it will be very difficult for Flick to find Frenkie a permanent role in his system, where he can show his qualities. And that is longterm obviously unacceptable with his salary.

Betis played into our hands and were down within 5 minutes.

Have to keep praise relative to this.

It can only be to our benefit though if Frenkie is fit and playing well. Top player.

With Frenkie and Casado working together better and better each game, he will need to show his best to even earn his place as the 3rd CM in this team...

And Bernal is coming back.

I would of course really like for Bernal to become a player for Barca going forward - but most fail and him getting injured might have been a blessing in disguise for Casado to step forward. Sure he was maybe rated above Casado before his injury at the start of the season, but Casado has PROVEN himself against a the strongest teams and came out on top - Bernal has done none of that yet.
