Frenkie de Jong
New thread on our midfielder/defender. Here is an interesting analysis comparing de Jong to Beckenbauer: https://www.theringer.com/soccer/2018/9 ... centerback I'm not sure I fully agree with this.

Re: Frenkie de Jong
A question I will ask the Ajax fans on Sunday ,how good do they think Frenkie is!
PSG Real will both offer 80m but de Ligt must then be worth 100m!

Re: Frenkie de Jong
Good idea!! To me he is the same type of player as Andrea Pirlo. The big question is how good is he with the ball against difficult competition. Pirlo even in his 30s was hardly ever dispossessed and new how to shield the ball when he was being tightly marked. I'm not sure that de Jong is at that stage yet. I agree with you about the price tag for de Ligt. Too bad Ajax can't keep players of this quality for more than a couple of years.SPL schreef:A question I will ask the Ajax fans on Sunday ,how good do they think Frenkie is!

Re: Frenkie de Jong
Frenkie now doesn't have any problems with facing his new Barca teammates in the final.
Re: Frenkie de Jong
I wonder if de Jong regrets signing for Barca? Maybe de Light decides not to go there because the club relies too much on Messi.

It is possible they will keep Messi and restructure the team around him (including the coach?).Orange14 schreef:I wonder if de Jong regrets signing for Barca? Maybe de Light decides not to go there because the club relies too much on Messi.
The demasque of the team yesterday was astounding. Totally clueless, hoping for one 'magic moment' of Messi only.

Re: Frenkie de Jong
I was thinking of the same thing - that De Ligt might have second thoughts about joining Barca this year. They have to rebuild that team.zeux schreef:It is possible they will keep Messi and restructure the team around him (including the coach?).Orange14 schreef:I wonder if de Jong regrets signing for Barca?

They looked absolutely clueless yesterday. This is how I summarized what I saw yesterday -
Plan A: Pass to Messi and hope for the best
Plan B: Pass to Messi faster and hope for the best

Frenkie created this amazing goodbye message on his instagram account - https://twitter.com/TheEuropeanLad/stat ... 0799562752
His message under the video -
From the first day I came here I felt at home, due to the sweet people that work at the club. I enjoyed about how people think about football here, and the way it should be played.
The quality of the players and staff with who I could play and work together was fantastic. Everyday I came to this club with joy and for that I want to thank everyone that is involved with Ajax. Fans, you were amazing!
During the European nights there was a great atmosphere that I will not forget quickly. This season we conquered Europe, won the cup, and the 34th league title.
I am super proud to have played for this fantastic club. AFC Ajax, thank you! ❤
I really like this kid and he has a great head on his shoulders. I just hope he comes back when he's 28/29.

Yes it's a very nice one.

If not already sold he probably would have wanted to stay at Ajax for another year.

Here also an interview with Frenkie about suddenly playing without a referee.
