Alejandro Balde surely has been the greater surprise of the FC Barcelona in this start of season. The left side of The Masia, that was summoned in several opportunities by Xavi the past campaign, won a place in the staff of the technician culé doing a good pre-season and has finished being the headline in a position where there are names like the ones of Jordi Alba and Marcos Alonso.
The defender has fulfilled this Tuesday 19 years being more than a canterano in the Barça. Balde Was to title in the Classical the past Sunday in front of the Real Madrid and in an always complicated stadium like Santiago Bernabéu showed solid in his work, and although it did not stand out in defence inside a system in which all suffered, had a correct party, something that any footballer of his age would sign.

It contested more than five consecutive parties in the tournament suspender belt like titling, leaving to Marcos Alonso for the Champions. Balde Had a party more than stood out in front of the Elche with two assistances, something in what it has been of the best of all the team.
Fixed in the announcements of the Spanish selection sub-21, Balde admitted after the party in front of the Mallorca does a pair of weeks that is in front of the opportunity of his life and is had to everything to take advantage of it. It will play where say him Xavi and thus it did it in the right side to try suplir the absences of Bellerín, in addition to the ones of Araújo and Koundé, those who also have played in this position.
One more to armour
With agreement until the 2024, Balde goes to be one of these footballers with which the Barça will do his project on a long-term basis, by what a proposal of renewal will be arriving the next year with all security. Alba, with agreement until 2024, is little likely that can follow further of the end of season, whereas Alonso signed by only a campaign, something that also opens the possibility so that Balde was the indisputable headline of this position in the following course.
