The Cameroonian midfielder recently joined Barcelona during the summer transfer window and will be teaming up with his former skipper, Cesc Fabregas, who he recognizes as a ‘good friend’.
Barcelona most recently signed the Arsenal star, Alex Song, in pursuit of signing a defensive-minded player.
As soon as Tito Vilanova was made in charge of affairs at the Nou Camp, he told the management that he will be signing at least two defensive players during this summer transfer window.
The Catalan mentor was first able to lure the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111, and then he signed Alex Song.
Even though the Spanish giants were aiming to buy the Athletic Bilbao player, Javi http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468, during the summer transfer window, the price tag attached with the Spanish player was too high for the likes of Barcelona; therefore, they decided to settle for
the Cameroonian midfielder, Alex Song.
Before joining Barcelona, Alex Song was a part of the North London club, Arsenal, the team which was once led by the current http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 player, Cesc Fabregas.
The Barcelona number 4 was once the captain of the North London club and now the Cameroonian midfielder is going to reunite with his former skipper.
When http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-Song-c4804 was asked about his opinion regarding this reunion, the Cameroonian midfielder stated that Cesc is a ‘good friend’ of his, and he expects his former skipper to help him adjust at the Nou Camp.
While speaking about Cesc Fabregas, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 player stated:
"Cesc is a good friend and has explained many things about Barca. But he didn't need to, I knew already because I have seen them on television.
"The style of play is similar to Arsenal's. When you go to a new place you have to adapt and Cesc will help me."
Barcelona have already started their Spanish La Liga campaign, and in quite an emphatic manner.
The Catalan giants were able to secure a 5-1 victory over their first opposition, Real Sociedad. However, Alex Song did not star in this thumping victory.
La Blaugrana have signed Alex Song as a replacement for the Malian midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Seydou-Keita-c33177, who was often not selected in the Barcelona first-team.
