The Spanish full-back is flying high after his phenomenal performances for the Spanish national team during the Euro 2012, and believes that it has been a great year for him.
Jordi Alba was the surprise package for the Spanish national team during the Euro 2012 triumph. While replacing Capdevila in the first-team, not many thought that Alba would be able to impress during the international competition.
However, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 player was able to show the world what he is capable of.
While playing for the Spanish national side, Alba was able to perform brilliantly and not only was he solid defensively; he also made the perfect forward runs to aid his side in the final third.
The Spanish full-back also managed to score a goal for the Spanish national side during the final against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 which won them the European title.
Therefore, there is no doubt that it has been a great year for the young Spanish player and he also thinks so.
While speaking to the press about the season which he has had, Alba said:
"It's been a great year, I played a lot for Valencia, which gave me a chance in the national team, and I won my first professional title. Now I'm going to the Olympics.”

However, there is no doubt that Alba became an attacking full-back while playing for the third-placed Spanish club.
Alba was naturally a left-footed left winger and it was the former Valencia coach, Unai Emery, who decided to play him as a left full-back and his suggestion worked perfectly for the player.
Now Barcelona have signed him and that simply shows that he is an exceptional talent. Moreover, he even showcased his extraordinary footballing ability during the Euro 2012.
Alba is now going to travel with the Spanish national side to play in the Olympics. This means that he will be joining Barcelona a little late during the Spanish La Liga season which is kicking off next month.
While speaking about playing in the Olympics, Alba said:
"Not everybody can do this, it's a privilege to be here and we will try to achieve another success for Spanish football.”
"I've spoken to people who have already played in the Olympics, and they all agree that it's a unique experience."
After winning all the important international competitions in the last four years, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 are considered to triumph in the footballing event of the Olympics as well.
