At the Koeman Cup, the golf tournament Ronald Koeman organises, the former Barcelona coach discussed the physical condition of De Jong, who was unable to even play in the European Championship. For the Netherlands coach, the injury is much more of a concern than had initially been discussed.
"I talk to him because we know each other well. He is worried about his injury. We had hopes that he would make it to the tournament and in the end he didn't. He has a serious injury and we have to wait and see how it goes. He has an important injury and we have to wait and see how it goes. I wish him luck, but he's not ready to play yet. During the season he played important games when he didn't have the rhythm and wasn't in good shape,’ he said.
Another of the names Koeman spoke about was Nico Williams, Barcelona's big target for this market: "I understand the interest because he is a great player. He is a good winger, which is what is needed in any good team. I don't know if they are rumours or intentions to fight for this player.
"It is difficult to understand this club if you come from outside. Flick is a very good person and a great coach. He proved it with Germany and Bayern, but Barcelona is what it is. I think Laporta is going to be very patient with his coach because there is no ideal coach for this club.
