De Jong: There are only small details different between Setien and Valverde

Frenkie de Jong thinks only small changes have been implemented since Quique Setién replaced Ernesto Valverde at Barcelona.

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong says tactics have not changed much since Quique Setién took over as head coach from Ernesto Valverde.

Barça only managed three goals across those two games, though, suggesting they are yet to find a fluency to their attacking play – something for which Valverde was often criticised.

And De Jong says Setién has not made many alterations yet to the team's approach, telling reporters at a sponsor event on Thursday: "He doesn't ask anything concrete of me. The idea he has is the same as Valverde, the style of Barcelona possession.

"The only things that have changed are small details, but the intention is to have the ball.

"It seems like I've adapted easily, and I'm happy, but I know I can do much better. I also believe we have a lot of room to evolve as a team and we'll be better throughout the season."
