Apart from wanting to be appreciated with a large salary, a player who already has experience also really wants to be in the hands of a great coach so that his talents can be channeled very well in the team that houses him. For now, I think it would not be wrong for a player from Barcelona to move to another team if his salary and contract are clear, because currently Barcelona itself is not in a good condition. So considering going to another team is quite a wise choice for a player like De Jong.

Agree. Girona's opportunity to maintain second place in the Laliga standings until the end of the season can be said to be wide open because Girona's competitors such as Barcelona and Atletico are in unstable condition, especially since Barcelona is no longer confident after being held to a draw by Inter. a small team like Granada.

This season only Real Madrid was able to beat Girona, Girona lost twice against Real Madrid. So, I am sure that with the remaining games this season, Girona will not make any more mistakes that cost them many points. Girona has proven capable of maintaining consistency in maintaining its winning streak and has even been able to maintain a trend of never losing in 15 matches. Even though in the end Girona's trend was broken by Real Madrid with a 4-0 defeat, looking at Girona's progress this season they have a big chance of finishing in second place in the Laliga standings until the end of the season.

So far, de Jong has been patient enough and this case has been going on for a long time. And the next season will be the best moment for him to leave Barcelona. Because indeed, his sacrifice and loyalty isn't expressed there. Even if it wasn't because of the Xavi case, maybe de Jong will still leave Barcelona next season. Yes, once again, Barcelona has been hit by various problems because basically their financial problems that are still ongoing. So this also spreads to various other things.

What is certain is that, for now, they must remain focused on Barcelona's game and performance. And I'm sure they still are, because of their professionalism. In several days, Barcelona will also compete against Napoli in the Champions League. In this case, these two clubs are currently in a less than normal position, meaning they are not at their best performance. So I personally still can't predict the winner. Maybe Barcelona?

If an elite club wants him, he will definitely go, not because of his high loyalty to Xavi, but because he wants a better career and of course a better and bigger salary and contract. As a professional player, like any other worker, his energy and skills want to be appreciated, namely with a large salary

With Xavi resignation at the end of this season, of course several players will follow Xavi steps to leave for other teams. One of them is De Jong, where he is increasingly frustrated with the level of salary cuts carried out by Barcelona. De Jong, who is 26 years old, of course has greater hopes of getting a bigger salary. With the quality he has, of course De Jong will receive many offers from elite European clubs at the end of this season.

His loyalty to Barcelona will be tested again during the summer transfer window because De Jong is reportedly being looked at by big Premier League teams Manchester United and Chelsea. I think if De Jong leaves then the next team will be Manchester United because he has a good relationship with Erik Ten Hag.

There is not a good situation in Barcelona between De Jong and the team and it seems they don't really want to spend a huge amount of money to keep this player in the team and De Jong feels they don't respect him enough in Barcelona, that's why he decided to leave the team but now Barcelona said they only let De Jong leave the team if they get a good offer for this player. Barcelona said they would only let him leave for if they got more than 100 million euros offer.

Xavi has been a good manager at the Spanish side, even though they've had some shaky situations, they've just found a way to cover up lapses and make necessary coverings to the loopholes. It's very much good that they were able to put in good effort regardless of what they lacked to good team building. They really been affected by injuries and financial crisis and I hope they recover very soon.

 Nonetheless, Xavi would have still done better than he's already done. Well, his days with the team are technically numbered and he's got some commendations which he definitely deserves. I don't know what to say about his intended replacement but all I'll say is Barcelona as a team has work to be done and I'd love to see the new Barcelona in seasons and games to come.

Really happy with the result of this game. Because I am a Madrid fan, this result makes Real Madrid even further widen. Of course not feeling calm, but at least the difference in points can make Madrid easier for the champion this season. There are still a lot of games, there are still a lot of possibilities that happen. But at the moment I am very sure, Real Madrid is capable. Barcelona and Atletico are increasingly difficult to chase, while Girona do not yet deserve them to compete with Madrid.

I don't really know what is making De Jong still in Barcelona because the player is still trying his best to see the club achieve something, and I think the management is not putting some respect on that. However, there are some players that, even if a team is paying a high salary and the team is not moving, that will make the player shine and be well known, like other players who are leaving, but I don't really know why De Jong still doesn't mind about that because I know the player is still doing well to play for another team, maybe because of the money, or maybe not. 

Furthermore, Barcelona has many weak points, and they are dependent. I mean, they are always dependent on some players. By the time they have a game, if they are financially stable to get more talented players, it will be better for them because some of their players are weak and need replacement with immediate effect.

This photo is able to provide various perceptions and views of Frenkie de Jong.
Firmness in principle to stay at Camp Nou when offers from Manchester United were rejected several times, at that time I thought that Frenkie de Jong was ready if something unexpected happened to him at Barcelona.

Choosing to accept the final offer submitted with a high bargaining value by Manchester United could result in him getting a main place in the Manchester United squad. de Jong is a player who can play in several positions, Onana, who often makes mistakes, is still the main choice there.
But between Frenkie de Jong and Barcelona they will find the best solution regarding this information.

At least I also agree with what you said, if there are several factors that have caused Barcelona's performance to decline this season. as you said, Barcelona only relies on loan players, La Masia academy players, and several other secondary players who have to be replaced. one of them is Marco Alonso, but Barcelona doesn't have many choices because they are hampered by financial problems. Lewandowski's decline in performance, lack of optimal support from his teammates. plus, the factor of players being injured. what is more worrying for me is the poor performance of Barcelona's defensive line players and also Inaki Pena who could not be relied on when Ter Stegen was injured. as a result, Barcelona is having difficulty competing this season.

One more thing, IMO, the system that Xavi implemented is not ideal from my point of view. It's just that, Xavi is quite skilled when lobbying players to join in choosing Barcelona. even with the match against Granada, Barcelona always has difficulty when they meet this team. Based on H2H, in 5 meetings, Barcelona was unable to achieve a single victory. one match with a defeat, four more matches with a draw. well, it could be said that the probability of Barcelona in La Liga is very slim. So, Xabi hopes to be able to focus on the Champions League. even so, it is not easy for Barcelona with the team's current condition. however, let's just follow it, there's no harm in it. maybe Barca could be as lucky as Inter Milan last season.

That right, it's time to go and relax in the Saudi Pro League, a league that is a destination for world football legends before deciding to retire. For another season or two Modric seems strong enough to play in the SPL, as we can see the SPL is not as competitive as La Liga. However, I haven't seen which club is interested in offering Modric a contract, which is clear for a player of Modric caliber to be rewarded with a fairly large salary.

We've seen him dancing in a Madrid shirt for more than a decade, but increasing age forced him to step out of the Santiago Bernabeu. It is no longer possible for Ancelotti to provide more playing time, a number of potential young players in midfield must be prioritized, to safeguard the club interests in the long term. Modric is a legend and will always be remembered, he has achieved many trophies and awards.

Sooner or later Kroos will also follow Modric steps, where he will be faced with the choice of moving or retiring. The end of the second generation of Galacticos, but for Kroos it looks like he will get another short term contract extension, considering he is younger than Modric.

Tough decisions are to be made during tough times, and this has got to be one of the players not just players, important players listed to be sold out as they hope they make some rehabilitation with them finances next year.
He's rejected series of efforts made to sign him up from Barcelona but he's rebuffed the offers countless times to show how committed he's been for Barcelona.

Linked to Manchester United and Chelsea makes sense. If he's to move he's got Erik Ten Hag and

For Luka Modric! He needs to leave, it's the right call for that. Twelves years with the club and believe me, he's done enough.

Real madrid is like the legendary ac milan in the 90s. They position themselves very well on the pitch, they don't give the opponent any serious positions, but they don't play with the ball too much and dominate the game. But if they get the ball around the midfield, they can land in the opponent's goal in two passes. There is a tremendous quality and athleticism in their midfield and forwards, and the cohesion of the players is also at a high level. It seems that what they do is very simple because the players have very good fundamentals and their space sharing and mobility in the field is close to perfect, the team works like a machine.

Luka Modric will be leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season. He spent 12 years at the club but now real Madrid has considered that they will not be giving up more time, I mean Real Madrid hasn't given an extension to his contract because he turned into 38 and moreover he will not be giving up more performance like previously. In 12 years, he contributed so well and achieved so many successes, like winning trophies etc. Besides that he also won a Ballon d'Or, which is so hounrable for him. He made 83 assists in just 515 appearances and scored 38 goal in with real Madrid in 12 season which is outstanding for midfielder. But now it's time to leave because he's getting older and older. 
 
Moreover Real Madrid will get him a proper firewall because his name is now on the Real Madrid legend list due to his competency in playing with the club like Real Madrid. And possibly, he will go to Saudi Arabia.

It's an exaggerated expectation if you still expect Girona to win the La Liga trophy, and I think it's a very forced expectation because afterall,the reality is that Girona has lost the chance to get it because Girona has lost the competition with Real Madrid. Although,there are still a lot of matches ahead and also, Girona still being in second place it looks like Girona still has a chance even though in reality it's not . After all, even if Girona lose by Bilbao the reality is that Girona will also remain in second place but even so, if you believe Girona still has a chance to win the trophy then at least you can predict a draw. But indeed, at this moment Bilbao has a very good trend so ya, of course it is difficult for Girona to be able to beat Bilbao. Because after all, their first meeting this season also ended with a 1-1 draw and therefore, this match will also be a big match for teams competing in the top five.

In La Liga, Real Madrid is ruling because there are only a handful of clubs that can contend but they are not in the same standard. The Champions League is many times bigger than La Liga and the other national leagues in Europe. Because the best clubs in the world are competing, Real Madrid is not the best club predicted to win the Champions League. However, Real Madrid undoubtedly has a good chance of winning as well.

Real Madrid won the first leg however it was difficult against a determined RB Leipzig. The defense of Real Madrid required additional enhancements, and they are grateful to Andriy Lunin for preventing numerous shots on target.

It is not a difficult task for Girona to stay in the top 2 of the table. Because Girona's two main opponents for the second place in the table, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, are not in good form. The performance of these two teams is quite erratic. Barcelona drew against lesser teams like granada in their last match. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid lost against Sevilla.

Girona have been playing great this season. I have seen this team perform poorly in only three matches this season. They played very badly in two matches against Madrid and lost. And their performance against a smaller teams like Almeria was very poor. Although Girona managed to get 1 point in the match, their performance was not good. Girona team is strong this season. Even if they don't win the title, they have the ability to finish second in the table.

It might be too early to say that Girona will finish as the 2nd in the laliga.
There are 14 games left before the end of this season, and from Girona fixtures - I guess they might not able to get 3 points from some these games:
Bilbao vs Girona
Atletico Madrid vs Girona
Girona vs Barca
Las Palmas vs Girona
Valencia vs Girona

Regarding the La Liga title, FIX I agree, but regarding the Champions League title I am still pessimistic about this possibility.
Of course I don't doubt Real Madrid's ability and experience in the Champions League, but the competing teams seem to be as strong or maybe stronger than Real Madrid. There are several problems that are actually a bit risky in the Real Madrid squad, that is the defense even though so far they are the team with the best defense in La Liga.

Qualify to quarter-finals is a reasonable thing to hope for, but when it comes to the semi-finals and finals, it really depends on who the opponents are. I hope this season's journey isn't as tough as last season and Real Madrid have to avoid Manchester City or Bayern Munich, who probably have great potential to qualify for the semi-finals.
