The La Liga match between Villarreal and FC Barcelona will indeed be played in Miami . La Liga made the news official this Wednesday. And it's safe to say that Frenkie de Jong isn't happy at all, as he made no bones about it during a press conference with the Netherlands. "I don't like us going there and I don't agree. It's not fair for the competition. I don't like it and I don't think it's good for the players."
He added: "For clubs, it's about developing their brand internationally. That's probably the goal. I understand that position, but I wouldn't accept it and I don't share it. There are always complaints about the match schedule and excessive travel. The clubs will be paid for that, but I don't agree with playing a league game in Miami. I understand that other clubs don't agree." Barça might not like it too much, but you can't blame the player after the arguments he put forward.
