De Jong: Messi is the leader! But some people think that yelling and criticizing teammates is the leader!

October 19th. Barcelona's main player and Dutch international De Jong accepted an exclusive interview with the Spanish media "El Pais" during which he talked about Messi and defined a leader. He said Messi is the leader! But some people think that yelling and criticizing teammates is what makes a leader!

First of all, De Jong talked about how he is often underestimated. He said that many teammates and coaches do think that he is underestimated. If any player is underestimated, he must be one. Messi once walked over to De Jong at breakfast and told him that De Jong was underestimated. He said that De Jong was really good. De Jong said that he did not want to talk too much because Messi did not like his private words to be made public.

De Jong has been teammates with Messi. He knows how strong Messi's leadership is. He also knows what a leader is and corrects those misunderstandings about the position of a leader. De Jong said that some people mistakenly think that people who yell, make angry gestures from time to time, or blame teammates after losing are called leaders, but people with real personality are those who adhere to their own three views, treat others honestly, and are willing to help teammates. This is called a leader. Leaders don't need to yell. If a person yells a lot, others may not pay attention. Real ability is knowing when to say what to say.

De Jong said that he would not pass the ball to a teammate who was double-teamed casually. It is meaningless unless the player is Yamal or Messi. De Jong said that if a player is open but still passes the ball to a teammate who may be trapped in a double-team, some people may think that he plays the ball quickly, but he will not do this. Isn't this an obvious scapegoat?
