[Voetbal International] Frenkie De Jong: "If I felt like I couldn't contribute enough, or if the team couldn't compete, I would leave." "When I signed for Barcelona I didn't imagine that I would win only one league, a Copa del Rey and a Spanish Super Cup after four years. I expected at least..."
First of all, I am not a typical De Jong hater, on the contrary, I have always protected him but I can't defend you anymore Frenkie. This guy swears he loves Barcelona while at the same time, he loudly and without hesitation declares that he would simply leave the team if it couldn't compete. This is not something a big club like FC Barcelona's captain should say.
"I have to admit that when I signed for Barcelona I didn't imagine that I would win only one league, a Copa del Rey and a Spanish Super Cup after four years. I expected at least twice as much, so that disappoints me. Things happen and you can't predict them,"
Does it seem to me that he is trying to blame others and not see his own guilt? This is not the right mentality. Saying loudly you will leave if the team cannot compete, complaining about the lack of titles while not mentioning your guiltiness in this, when you are the highest-paid player (now already a captain), and being bought with huge expectations for 85€ Mil - is a bit wrong. He's not in the place to talk about that. In his place, I would rearrange the sentence or remain silent and say nothing at all. I still support him and want him to succeed. That's all and nothing more.
Maybe I'm exaggerating, what do you think?
