The Spanish midfield maestro was full of praise for the Spanish full-back as he is the new signing for his club, Barcelona.
Barcelona recently signed the former Valencia star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111, in order to improve their defence. The Spanish giants were vulnerable for majority of the last season as their first-choice left-back, Eric Abidal, suffered a liver tumour.
Since Josep Guardiola left the club, Tito Vilanova took charge at the Nou Camp and the former assistant coach told the club representatives that he will be signing two defenders this season since the Catalans are lacking talent in that particular area.
In this summer transfer window, Barcelona have already made their mark and have signed one of the hottest property of this transfer market, Jordi Alba.
The Spanish full-back is simply an extraordinary player and definitely an asset to any team he plays for.
Last season Jordi Alba showed what he is capable of while he performed for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863. Later, he showcased his talents while playing for the Spanish national team.
Alba had to replace Capdevila in the Spanish first-team and honestly, the new Barcelona signing has made more of an impact as compared to Capdevila.
The former Villarreal star, Capdevila, was Spain’s only weakness during the FIFA World Cup 2010, and now with Jordi Alba taking that position, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 in the final.
Alba was the one to score the second goal during the Euro 2012 final as Italy tried to stop Spain from retaining their European title.
With Alba being such a phenomenal player, and helping Spain win the Euro 2012, Xavi Hernandez did not shy away from telling the world what he thinks about the new Barcelona star.
Xavi Hernandez was full of praise for the Spanish full-back and said:
"He is a spectacular footballer and ten out of ten as a guy. Moreover, he is a local boy, he was raised with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, he is competitive, aggressive, very good defensively and sees the game very well. I have seen him play a lot and he is prepared. And when
you put him with better footballers, he will be even better."
Barcelona had to sign two defensive-minded players and Jordi Alba was one of them.
