‘Simply not true’ – Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong lets rip at Gerard Romero in explosive interview

Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong delivered a fiery interview to the club’s media, voicing his frustration and anger towards reporter Gerard Romero. The Dutch midfielder has always been vocal about his disdain for the press, but this time he specifically targeted Romero for spreading what he called “false” reports.

De Jong addressed Romero’s claim that he had refused to play for Barcelona in the Champions League against Atletico last year. The midfielder adamantly denied the allegation, stating that it was not true, “simply not true.” He expressed his disappointment and frustration, explaining that he is passionate about playing for the club and especially in important Champions League matches.

De Jong tried to clarify his stance, adding that if people only get a distorted view of his relationship with the team, he wants to explain the truth.

Furthermore, de Jong denied that his relationship with the coach is strained, calling it “completely false.” He emphasized that he communicates frequently with the coach and that anyone who wants to know more can ask him directly. He also refuted accusations that his relationship with the club is deteriorating, asserting that he regularly engages with club officials and directors.

Romero’s reports have extended beyond de Jong’s personal life, extending to his physical condition as well. De Jong admitted that he wanted to vent his anger about being labeled as being punished by the club due to his knee injury. He emphasized that he is doing everything within his power to recover as quickly as possible and return to the field.
