Frenkie De Jong says he ‘didn’t deserve’ MVP, Barcelona ‘did not play well’ against Arsenal

With every game Frenkie De Jong plays for Barcelona, we get to know a little bit more about his personality on and off the pitch. And after winning Most Valuable Player for his 45-minute performance in the Joan Gamper Trophy victory against Arsenal on Sunday, De Jong showed that he’s a very honest, self-critical player.

His comments about his own performance and the team’s output against the Gunners made one thing clear: he was not happy and he was not going to hide it. The one positive thing? The fans’ love for him and the team before, during and after the game.
