Gullit slams Barcelona midfielder De Jong: A ghost

Gullit has been left unimpressed by De Jong over the past season.

He told  Ziggo Sport: “I’m going to say something about Frenkie. I started at Feyenoord playing as a right winger. Then Johan Cruyff said to me: ‘Ruud, you have to improve the game of your teammates.’ I never understood him. 

"But do you know why he told me that? Because when you improve your teammates’ game, you always play well! Does Frenkie do that? No, Frenkie doesn’t. He plays badly. He’s not up to the qualities he has.

“If you look at Frenkie de Jong during the last World Cup, he was like a ghost! He must take matters into his own hands.”
