De Jong the defender Xavi insists move w

Barcelona bo s Xavi insists he was not trying to send Onyeka Okongwu Jersey any me sage to Frenkie de Jong by playing him out of position in defence after being subbed on at half-time in their 1-0 friendly win against Real Madrid.De Jong, 25, has been at the centre of Barcelonas transfer discu sions this off-season, with the widespread belief that the club must sell him to balance Spud Webb Jersey their books after expensive moves for Leeds United winger Raphinha and Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.The Dutch international is not totally inexperienced in defence, but he is undoubtedly more comfortable in the centre of midfield, but with plenty of competition for that position, Xavi said he was simply taking advantage of De Jongs versatility.No, I didnt send any me sages, he said. I think De Jong can be adapted.The me sage is personal and already chatted with him. He knows he is valued. I value him a lot as a footballer he knows for me, he is a fundamental footballer for the teams game.Then, I insist, there is an economic situation in the club, Damian Jones Jersey the situation of financial fair play, but for me there is no doubt that he is a very important footballer, and playing as a central defender he can give us many things.We have signed Andreas Chistensen , we also have Eric Garcia , we have Gerard Pique , we have Ronald Araujo there, who can also adapt Atlanta Hawks Hats as a full-back.We now have a lot of competition and that is good for the team, but Frenkie can adapt very well as a centre-back. He sees the game very well when he Moses Malone Jersey controls the ball, he doesnt lose the ball and I like it.No, that position is not a me sage. I would never do it as a coach.Barcelonas next friendly is against Juventus on Tuesday.
