I don&#8217;t know if it was something I ate, but I had to throw up a lot in a short time. Now I&#8217;m fully recovered. I can play the full 90 minutes. My ankle doesn&#8217;t bother me anymore, I don&#8217;t think about it. It&#8217;s out of my head,&#8221; De Jong told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dutch midfielder also joked about the atmosphere in Barcelona&#8217;s dressing room, where there has been plenty of banter about the upcoming international clash, but he remains confident in his national team&#8217;s chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There are always jokes flying around, from both sides. They&#8217;re very confident, but so are we. In the dressing rooms, everything is a bit exaggerated. We have a top team and we need to play well,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about his Barcelona teammate and Spain international Lamine Yamal, De Jong praised his quality and insisted that stopping him would have to be a team effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not just one person&#8217;s job to stop Lamine Yamal. We have to do it as a team. We have very good players. Any player can be stopped,&#8221; the midfielder added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.besoccer.com\/match\/seleccion-holanda\/seleccion-espanola\/2025223503\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barcelona and Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong ha [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":819,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=817"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":820,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817\/revisions\/820"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
