Frenkie de Jong sends warning to Barcelona after win over Rayo Vallecano – Barca Blaugranes
Filed under:‘Nothing to celebrate yet’Frenkie de Jong says it’s good to be top of the table again in Spain but knows there’s still a long way to go in the title race.Barcelona’s win over Rayo Vallecano has seen Hansi Flick’s side knock Real Madrid off the top of the table on goal difference.De Jong is thrilled with the situation but says it’s not time to start celebrating just yet and called on his team to improve.“We are happy with the victory. It’s good to be leaders, but we have to be at the end of the season,” he told the media. “We are all close together, there is nothing to celebrate yet but it is good to see ourselves up there.“Rayo is a good team, they press very well. We had a harder time getting the ball out than usual, and that’s their merit. It’s not our best game, but we have to win these kinds of games to win something at the end of the season.”“We’ve had chances and situations where if we’d played better we’d have a great chance. We’ve kept a clean sheet, which is also a good thing and gives us confidence. From now on, we have to improve and play better.”The Dutchman was in the starting XI again on Monday night and certainly appears to have the edge over Marc Casado right now in Hansi Flick’s thinking.Check your inbox for a welcome email.Oops.
