At a press conference on the eve of Napoli-Barça, Frenkie De Jong verbally attacked a journalist from Mundo Deportivo, denouncing the bad information given by the Catalan press.
Arriving at FC Barcelona in 2019 (he has already played 209 matches, scoring 16 goals), Frenkie De Jong now has a perfect command of Spanish. The proof: the Dutch international is capable of verbally abusing a journalist at a press conference, as he did on the eve of the Blaugrana’s round of 16 first leg against Napoli, Wednesday evening (9 p.m.) at the Maradona.
Asked about the extension proposal he would have received, the 26-year-old midfielder then told a reporter who came to Campania: “ Lies. You write a lot, right? In Mundo Deportivo, as in other newspapers, you write things that are lies! Why are you doing this? »
De Jong denies his XXL salary
The player revealed to Willem II and revealed to Ajax thus clarified that he was “ very happy » at Barça and that he hoped “ stay for many years », recalling that it was the club of his dreams.
De Jong also denied pocketing “ 40 million euros per year » and that it was “ far from the real figures “, since “ people make up numbers about (one’s) salary “. According to some, the player’s annual salary would approach 37 million euros gross (in order to give 18 million net).
Remarkable playing master of Xavi’s FCB, Frenkie de Jong will start against the Partenopei alongside Ilkay Gündogan in the midfield, with perhaps Andreas Christensen in the number 6 position as in the Blaugranas’ last matches.
