Frenkie De Jong regrets his choice?
« I have to admit that when I signed for Barcelona, I didn't imagine that I would only win a League, a Copa Del Rey and a Spanish Super Cup after four years. I was expecting at least double that, so I'm disappointed. I still have a year and a half in Barcelona and you read in the newspapers that it's a subject. For me, that’s just not it now. Let me start playing Football again first, then we'll see what the club has in store. And at that time I will sit down with my family to decide what I want », he blurted out in an interview given to Football Internationalbefore returning to the discussions concerning its extension to Barcelona.
“I expected at least double, so I’m disappointed”
« It's not difficult for me to deal with this. I focus on what I have influence over and that's how I feel at the club, how I think things are going. On this basis, I decide whether everything is still going well and whether I want to stay or not. And then on the other side you have the club that has something to say about it. The rest is just noise. The consequence is that people start to believe what is written », added Frenkie De Jong.
