Frenkie de Jong has often been criticised during his time at Barcelona but is regularly praised by those<\/a> who\u2019ve had the privilege of playing alongside him.<\/p>\n

Young defender Sergi Dominguez, who has just sealed a move away from the club, has become the latest to hail De Jong and says he\u2019s unbelievable on and off the pitch.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEveryone speaks wonders about him, but until you see him training you don\u2019t realize, I think he\u2019s incredible,\u201d he told Jijantes. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs a person he is a 10 and as a player a 100.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dominguez also spoke about trying to learn Hansi Flick\u2019s famous high line during his time at the club and admitted there\u2019s little time to practice.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe started training the line this far forward in the United States a little, but not a lot and then we played every three days,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe weren\u2019t doing it every day. If you\u2019re a good player, you have to adapt quickly, they explain it to you four times, the first two games you get it and then it has to come out because you have to be involved if you want to play.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The defender has since moved on Dinamo Zagreb<\/a> where he\u2019ll be hoping to make an impact and play regularly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Frenkie de Jong has often been criticised during his time at Barcelona but is regularly praised by those…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":50665,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[190,1911,1394,1386,1396,2618,1395,5821,38190,204,38192,38189,1622,38191,24659,196,221,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-50664","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-a","9":"tag-as","10":"tag-barca","11":"tag-barcelona","12":"tag-barcelona-la-liga","13":"tag-barcelona-team-news","14":"tag-blaugranes","15":"tag-de","16":"tag-frenkie","17":"tag-front-page","18":"tag-hailed","19":"tag-he","20":"tag-is","21":"tag-jong","22":"tag-person","23":"tag-s","24":"tag-soccer","25":"tag-sports","26":"tag-united-states","27":"tag-unitedstates","28":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50664\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
