http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 midfielder,Thiago Alcantara, has admitted that no one expected the club’s start to the season would turn out to be this great.
The Catalans have had an impressive start to the season as they have managed to win 12 out of their opening 13 matches in La Liga so far. This feat of results have enabled them to equal the best start to a Spanish La Liga season.
Their arch-rivals, Real Madrid, are in stark contrast to them. They are currently 11 points behind, but the midfielder is aware of the dangers posed by the resurgent, Atletico Madrid.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-c34888 is surprised at how things have turned out so far this season and feels the gap between them and Real does not truly reflect the League.
“All that has happened since the start of the season has been unexpected. We did not imagine the record start, even if we had hoped to win every game. Now, Atletico Madrid are playing great, getting lots of wins too.”
The Spaniard shared his thoughts on this weekend’s derby game between the two Madrid clubs. He is of the opinion that any outcome of the match will not serve their purpose.
“Any result in the Madrid derby cannot benefit us, though.”
“Madrid are always a dangerous opponent.They were the League champions last year. They are always dangerous in any situation.”
Thiago then turned his attention on the internal affairs in the club. He had words of praise for his teammate and current FIFA World Player of the Year, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296.
“Leo is the best player in the world that is very clear.”
The 21-year-old also talked about the dynamics inside the club. He doesn’t see his teammates as separate entities; rather he sees them as a well-wielded machine that is made up of several complimenting parts.
“I do not see much distance between Andres, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leo-c22011 and Xavi.”
Finally, Thiago concluded his remarks on their upcoming match with Athletic Bilbao. He believes the Basque-based club is not as strong as last season.
“They have lost a level compared to last year.”
La Blaugrana are currently on top of the Primera Division with 37 points.
