The Spanish striker recently revealed to the press how he knows the newly signed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111, and how he has become a full-back.
Barcelona recently signed the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-c19110 Alba. The Barcelona youth academy graduate joined Valencia when he saw no future hope at the Nou Camp.
However, with Eric Abidal getting injured for a long time and Josep Guardiola leaving the club, the new boss, Tito Vilanova, has decided to sign at least two defenders this season and Jordi Alba is the first one.
Alba became the first of Barcelona’s summer signings and he is definitely a player which the Catalan giants wanted.
Being an attack-minded full-back, just like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Alves, it means that Barcelona can now exploit the opposition’s flanks on both the sides.
In the latest La Liga season, Jordi Alba was definitely the best full-back in the Spanish league and since he is a La Masia graduate, the Catalan giants took no time in signing back their former player.
Alba has shown that he is not only spectacular while performing for the club; in fact, he did wonders while playing for the Spanish national team as well.
Currently Alba is playing for the Spanish national team in the Euro 2012 and he is their first-choice left full-back. He was phenomenal throughout the tournament and he has shown that why a team like Barcelona has chosen him to play for them.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 and since he is on rest due to an injury in his tibia, Villa took out time to speak about the new Barcelona signing.
David Villa revealed how he knows Alba from a long time and how he used to be a winger and the former Valencia coach, Unai Emery, told him to become a full-back.
While addressing the press, David Villa said:
"I speak regularly with Jordi. He strikes me as a good guy and he is a spectacular player that had always played as a winger until [Unai] Emery moved him to full-back and he has been incredible.”
Jordi Alba is Barcelona’s first signing of this summer transfer window.
