The Spaniard recently managed to win the European championship with the Spanish national team and thanked his friends and family for the success which he has achieved.
Jordi Alba recently won the Euro 2012 with the Spanish national team and that is definitely a very big accolade for the youngster.
The Spanish full-back was the hottest prospect in the transfer market, thanks to his brilliant performances with Valencia during the last season.
After graduating for Barcelona’s youth academy, La Masia, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111 couldn’t find the place to settle in the first team and that is the reason why he joined Valencia. However, after he showed that he has the potential to play in any big club in the world,
Alba is now returning back to his boyhood club, Barcelona.
Many clubs were after the young left-back as he showed his potential in that role time and time again.
It was revealed later that Alba was not naturally a full-back, but his coach asked him to play in a defensive role and he was able to polish his potential in that position and showed the world that he can play in his new-found role.
After performing phenomenally for Valencia last season, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque decided to add the youngster to the Spanish line-up and he took no time to replace the former Villarreal left-back, Capdevila.
Alba took his favourite left-back position in the Spanish squad and came out as a surprise package as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 played their traits in the Euro 2012.
Alba was not only strong defensively; he also helped while making runs forward in order to aid the team’s strike-force. His most notable performance was seen during the final of the tournament, when Spain faced http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 and won the match 4-0. Alba was able
to score the second goal of the match.
Barcelona recently signed their former player and the Spaniard was happy about it. After everything which he has accomplished, Jordi Alba thanked his family for whatever they have done for him.
The Spaniard was quoted as saying:
“http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 have reached an agreement, everything went well,” he said.
“I thank the people from [home town] L’Hospitalet, my family and my friends.”
Alba will be signing a five-year contract with Barcelona after he completes his medical test.
