Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has expressed admiration for Xavi’s strategic decision to reinforce the midfield, a move that proved instrumental in the team’s triumphant 2-0 win over Osasuna.

Reflecting on the match and looking ahead to the imminent clash against Real Madrid, De Jong remarked, “It had been a while since we secured a victory by more than one goal. Ultimately, it’s about winning and playing well. We had a serious game, with the first half not performing as well, but an improved second half.”

Acknowledging the challenges faced against Osasuna’s defensive tactics, De Jong explained, “It was difficult to find spaces because they closed down very effectively. There was minimal room in the middle, and we needed more mobility and creativity. I believe the tactical changes made a significant impact.”

Optimistic about Barcelona’s ongoing improvement, De Jong recognized the team’s transitional phase, stating, “We are a fairly new team with numerous changes, and adapting to new teammates takes time. Additionally, we’ve dealt with several injuries, but we’re in the process of improvement. A final against Madrid is exciting.”

With the El Clasico on the horizon, De Jong, who earned the Player of the Match award for his pivotal role against Osasuna, is eager to replicate his stellar performance and contribute to Barcelona’s success in the upcoming high-stakes encounter.
