FDJ is an experiment box to box player under Cowman just to fit Busquets in his formation. FDJ is a versatile player, can serve as a regista, defensive midfielder, central midfielder, midfielder keeping, midfielder box-to-box, and back center. But to suggest he is the best Box to Box player in the world is pure nonsense. Actually he is better fitted for more defensive role and was top 3 MF in the world at Ajax. Even Cowman critisized Barcelona for playing him in advanced role.

Why I even bother to reply to someone who compared Coutinho to Messi! That how much you know about football lol

Ten Hag slams Barca's misuse of De Jong: 'He isn't a goalscorer or box-to-box'

https://tribuna.com/en/fcbarcelona/...-of-de-jong-he-isnt-a-goalscorer-or-boxtobox/

De Jong is a link, not a lone CDM. Explain why he needs another strong DM to cover him.

Koeman also used the best version of De Jong with Netherland NT. Same with Ten Hag.

FDJ could play DM but he need the freedom to move up and down pitch as he got at Ajax/Netherlands and where he has been at best for Barca.

Box to box doesnt mean a ten that gets in there and scores or provides assists anyway. Despite FDJ showing at Barca recently he can when gets up and down pitch.

Ten Hag was reacting to FDJ playing AM under Setien not the role has played in last few games.

Nice headline in quote but he doesnt mention box to box there about FDJ in quote and he wouldnt have him as a DM either so can try that one again.

Keep that lie about 'Coutinho and Messi' if like. Just the latest one of yours.

FDJ was not anything like a lone DM in way Barca would play Busi and FDJ as replacement.

https://tribuna.com/en/fcbarcelona/...heres-what-ten-hag-said-before-frenkies-move/

Ten Hag specifcially states he is not suited to lone DM and needs freedom to move. He is far more of a 'box to box' player than ever will be a lone DM. Best box to box in world.


?His quality is that he ensures that the ball gets into the final third. He is an adventurer, always on the move. Often with the ball, sometimes without the ball. Can you put him at six as the only link? He leaves the middle of the pitch too often for that. And if you don?t give him the freedom to go forward, you won?t get the best out of his game.?

Well, guess he want to replace the dream duo De Jong - Arthur that was supposed to dominate the whole Europe for decades with Puig - De Jong - Pedri.

Pure fantasy. Right now only Pedri - Busquest - De Jong is the best midfield available for Barca.

Hope they will keep their form.

Busquets is a big liability. Don't know what you guys are talking about. He's an error machine and against bigger teams, he will cost us dearly. Wouldn't be surprised to see Mbappe or Neymar score a couple of goals on Camp Nou thanks to his positional errors.

Who has said he isnt? Dont know what you are talking about.

You just lamented that De Jong should stay away from the DM spot. Well, that means more Busi pal. More Busi, means more defensive fuck-ups... means... do the math.

And De Jong can play better at CDM??? Or Puig at CDM???

De Jong no doubt can play better at CDM than Busi. It's a no brainer.

Yes because it is not FDJ best position or even close and due to way is performing in last games and finding his role.

Better that than moving mid to fit in Puig pal.

Pure fantasy. Show me dozen matches De Jong excel at CDM at Barca.

 

[serghei]

Like I said. Enjoy more Busi at DM.

Ah, and also, let's see De Jong scoring goals vs likes of Madrid, PSG, Atletico. That's what a box to box player should do. Check guys like Lampard, Gerrard, baging goals at the highest level in vital games.

Even his former manager sees him as a deep player.

Enjoy FDJ

Show proof that De Jong is better at CDM than Busquest. All talk.

Koeman coaches him both at club and national level surely know more about his strength and weakness than you.

Gerrard played all over the park from AM to RW to CM.

Lampard was more an 8 who played off striker for knockdowns than a box to box player like FDJ. Likes of Essien were more box to box in Chelsea sides.

Many different ways to play it.

Keane, Viera were box to box and played it a different way.
