Hansi Flicks trusts De Jong, plans to use him in special position – shown in lineup

Hansi Flick has told Barcelona to call off trying to sell Frenkie De Jong this summer, according to Sport.

The new Barcelona coach has total trust in De Jong and sees him as a key player for his team.

Flick plans to use De Jong as a defensive midfielder when he recovers from his ankle injury.

Here’s what a Barcelona lineup could look like with De Jong playing as a pivot.

De Jong has been sidelined for the past four months with an ankle injury. However, the Dutchman’s quality has been evident at Barca although consistency has been his major issue. Perhaps Flick could revive him.
