'THE QUEEN'

Ewa Pajor and Kika Nazareth praise the leadership, vision and approachability of Alexia Putellas, captain of Barça
Alexia Putellas is not only captain of FC Barcelona, but also a reference on and off the pitch. Both Ewa Pajor and Kika Nazareth, recent signings for the Blaugrana team, have shown their admiration for the player from Mollet del Vallés.
In an interview with Foot Truck TV from Poland, Pajor highlighted Alexia's incredible vision of the game:
"It's no coincidence that they call her 'The Queen'. On the pitch, she sees things before everyone else. I'm impressed with her left leg, it's incredible. There was a move after a triangulation in which Alexia came and told me: ‘I could play with you there, because I saw you before and I saw it before’. I was amazed”.
For Pajor, the connection with Putellas is already translated on the field as an advantage for the team, and highlights the ease with which Alexia communicates and helps her teammates to improve collectively:
"Both Alexia and Aitana are very open and are always willing to help. On the field they seek to quickly understand this common language that makes us better."
For her part, Kika Nazareth, the young Portuguese international who also landed This summer in Barcelona, she expressed similar emotions:
"Alexia told me a few days ago that I not only spoke the same language as them off the pitch, but also on it. It was one of the things that impressed me the most since I've been here."
