\nBarcelona leads the La Liga table this season with 33 points, 9 points ahead of its traditional rival Real Madrid, the runner-up with 24 points.<\/p>\n
According to information received from the Catalan newspaper “Sport,” the Barcelona star is upset because he is not participating as a starter with the team and informed Flick of this matter.
\nThe newspaper added that the Dutch player Frenkie de Jong asked Flick after the Espanyol match when he would participate as a starter again with Barcelona.<\/p>\n
The newspaper indicated that the response was shocking to the Dutch player, as Flick told him that it was difficult at the present time due to the brilliance of Barcelona’s young star Marc Casado, who is performing at a legendary level with the Catalan team.
\nThe newspaper concluded that Flick was frank with De Jong and confirmed to him that Casado was forcing him to give him the starting position, and the Dutch player must accept this matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
