"Barcelona” midfielder Frenkie de Jong described some people’s rather strange attitude toward football:

"People don’t watch entire football matches.

Very few watch all 90 minutes.”

"They don’t really understand what is happening on the pitch and why certain decisions are made.

It is easiest to blame a player when you look at the statistics and see how many goal contributions he has made.

Naturally, my numbers in this regard are lower.”

Frenkie de Jong has been playing for "Barcelona” since 2019 and has scored 20 goals in 301 appearances.

This season, the Dutchman has played four matches.
