Barca player burst into tears in Real Sociedad match break

Barcelona suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Real Sociedad in the third round of the Spanish League, but despite that, Hansi Flick’s team still leads the standings by 6 points over Real Madrid.

Later, Sport newspaper revealed a sad situation that happened between the two halves of the Real Sociedad match, when one of Barcelona’s players started crying.

After five months out with an ankle injury, Frenkie de Jong returned to the Barcelona shirt on October 1 against Young Boys. He has been recovering since then and last Sunday he started his second match in a row.

However, in the first half of the match against Real Sociedad, he suffered two blows, one to the leg and the other to the ankle, which made the Dutch midfielder fear that he had suffered a new injury that would cut short his progress.

Faced with this scenario, Frenkie de Jong was deeply affected, even crying during the break in the Anoeta dressing room. The midfielder was feeling severe pain in an area near the knee of his left leg, so Hansi Flick did not want to take any risks and decided to replace him with Dani Olmo. At the end of the match, De Jong left the pitch limping in pain.

Finally, everything was scary and the Barcelona player did not suffer any injury. But the situation that happened in the dressing room shows that Frenkie de Jong has not regained his confidence yet and is not 100% mentally ready. He plays with fear and insecurity that prevents him from entering into joint balls. Moreover, he does not dare to shoot or dribble with the ball either.

In fact, this Monday he joined the training camp of the Dutch national team, to which he returned after missing the European Championship. This week he will have the opportunity to play minutes again with the team led by Ronald Koeman in the two UEFA Nations League matches against Hungary and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
