The Spanish full-back was a hot property in the transfer market and Barcelona signed him to add to their defensive ranks.
Barcelona recently completed the signing of the Spanish full-back, Jordi Alba. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 star was phenomenal throughout his time at the third-placed Spanish club, and later he managed to impress while performing for the Spanish national team during
the Euro 2012.
Since Alba has now become a part of the Barcelona system, many football purists believe that he is the missing link for the Catalan outfit, the one which they lacked throughout the last season.
There is no doubt that Barcelona felt deprived at the back after Eric Abidal was diagnosed with liver tumour and now Jordi Alba is the player who can perfectly replace the Frenchman.
Even though both the players do not belong in the same category, Alba can definitely replace the Barcelona star.
Eric Abidal is a player who relies on strength and his defensive technique, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Alves. Alba is brilliant while moving up the flank and even though he is not the best defensive left-back, he can definitely
aid his team in both the departments because of his quick feet and brilliant attacking prowess.
Most of the footballing fans and the Barcelona players have praised Alba’s signing for Barcelona. The Spaniard is a perfect addition for the Catalan giants and Tito Vilanova has made his mark in the transfer market after luring one of the best full-backs.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331 is ageing and will be retiring soon.
Jordi Alba recently gave an interview and told the world that he is joining Barcelona in order to win silverware. He is a young player who would definitely like to add his name to the history books.
While speaking to the press, Jordi Alba said:
“I want to win trophies”, said Alba in an interview with Barcelona TV.
“I think we’re lucky with to see this amazing Barca, with a clearly defined playing style and which is reaping the rewards.”
Jordi Alba recently helped http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 create history as they managed to win two European titles back-to-back.
