De Jong: 'We want to win everything'

“We want to win every trophy.” Frenkie de Jong was emphatic about the team’s ambitions for this season, speaking at the launch of the new training kit at the Nike Store in Las Ramblas. “Everyone wants to win the Champions League, but we want to win the league and cup too.”

Speaking on the first anniversary of the date that his transfer to Barcelona was announced, the Dutchman went on to say that “I started playing in midfield because that’s where my father played. I like that position because you get more of the ball, and I’ve always played there. It’s important to enjoy doing what you do. But hard work and effort are also important, and to do everything step by step.”

“I’m feeling good right now, but I know I can still get better. It has been easy to adapt to the Barça style because it’s similar to the way we did things at Ajax. At Barça, midfielders really get to show what they can do and that was one of my motivations to come here.” 

“It’s a dream come true to get to play games at the Camp Nou in front of so many people. Barça always try to play the same style, with possession and playing the ball, although every coach likes to add their little bits.”
