The Spanish full-back was definitely the surprise package for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 during the tournament and since it was his first trophy ever, he was very excited about winning it.
Jordi Alba recently helped Spain win the European Championship. Even though Spain have won the trophy for the second time in succession, it is for the first time that Jordi Alba has won any trophy with the Spanish national team.
Spain did not have a suitable replacement for the former Villarreal left-back, Capdevila, who performed for them during the FIFA World Cup 2010. However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 showed the world that a winger can be turned into a defender and the youngster, Jordi Alba,
showcased his talents in the Spanish club.
After he performed phenomenally for Valencia throughout the last season, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque decided to play him in the Spanish national team.
The youngster played his first major tournament with the Spanish side when they entered the Euro 2012 and even though it was a high-pressure situation for the young talent, he was able to live up to the occasion and was able to perform brilliantly for his
country.
Barcelona signed the youngster as soon as they saw his talent during the international competition and it was seen how he can easily blend with players like Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta and all the others who are currently a part of Barcelona and the Spanish
national side.
While most of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111, never actually won anything for his country.
That is the reason why Alba was the most excited player for the Spanish national side. This is because it was his first ever silverware for his country and despite being so young he was able to win it.
While speaking to the press about what he has managed to achieve, Jordi Alba said:
“My team-mates had made history before, but this was my first European Championship. I’m very happy and I can’t really believe everything that’s happening,” Jordi Alba told Telecinco.
“I am delighted with this victory. Now it’s time to enjoy the success with the national team. Euro 2012 has been very good for us.”
Jordi Alba will soon be putting pen to paper for Barcelona, after he completes his medical for the Catalan giants.
