Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Koeman strongly oppose Barcelona’s La Liga match against Villarreal in Miami, citing unfairness for players and competition while calling it a selfish decision.
On Wednesday, La Liga made it official that Villarreal and Barcelona will face each other at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, thus completing a movement that the league has been keen to do for several years.
UEFA reluctantly approved the match earlier in the week, and although FIFA’s final say is not yet official, La Liga have made it clear that they do not expect any pushback, although that has not stopped criticism coming their way.
And one of those opposed to the USA fixture is someone that will likely be playing in it: Frenkie de Jong. As per MD, he revealed to the media that he is very much against the decision to move the match to the United States, also stating that he believes it is a selfish decision made by Barcelona, Villarreal and La Liga.
