Wetin dey happen for Barcelona midfield no be small, my people! Frenkie de Jong, wey be like the heart of the midfield, dey face serious challenge as dem dey prepare for Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Athletic Club. E fit no even start, and this one be like bad jujubeans for fans wey carry dem hopes come.
Once upon a time, everybody dey shout say ‘Frenkie no fit bench’. But now, as dem gather sharp midfield players like Pedri and the rest, wahala don show face! Last six matches, na so Frenkie dey sit down for bench three times, e even miss two matches before because of personal wahala and fever wey no gree am shine!
Na true say he sabi play full 90 minutes for the last three matches but make we see am clearly. One of those matches na against Guadalajara for Copa del Rey, another one against Villarreal and the last, na Espanyol. The matter be say, the two last matches na because Pedri dey rest, so na so Frenkie take shine. But now, wahala don show, as Pedri dey back!
The coach, Hansi Flick, dey get plenty options now. E fit choose to drop Frenkie back or push am forward ahead of Eric Garcia to balance the midfield. Some people even dey talk say Eric fit go join defense since Pau Cubarsi dey play well for center-back. But the way wey Cubarsi and Gerard Martin don gel well so far, no be just small matter to break that solid defense, abeg!
Hansi self talk for press conference say everybody dey ready for the match against Real Madrid, especially Kylian Mbappé wey don recover from small injury. Na this match go decide who get mouth to talk for El Clásico this season. E chook mouth say Mbappé na the best striker right now, and everybody dey shine dem eye to see how everything go unfold.
In short, my pipo, na big decision dey face Hansi as e wan pick him squad for this big match. E say every player dey ready and e go decide after final training session. But all eyes go dey on Frenkie, as we go decipher wetin go happen for dia midfield. E no go easy, but one tins wey sure be say Barcelona dey ready to put up big fight!
