Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has struggled to play consistent minutes since making his season debut following a five-month absence due to a serious ankle injury, and the Dutchman was the subject of whistles by his own fans on Tuesday’s Champions League win against Brest.
It has not been the easiest of times for the captain on and off the pitch, as his contract status is once again a huge topic of conversation. But one thing is clear: De Jong still has the full trust of his coach.
Speaking on a press conference on Friday, Hansi Flick made it clear he was not happy with the crowd’s attitude towards Frenkie in midweek and asked the supporters to show their love for all players, incuding De Jong.
