Consolidating in Primera with 19 years is a complicated goal for many players, but if you also add the context of doing it in a team in which you must always win, the achievement is even greater

The left band of the FC Barcelona seems that will have at least other ten years of performance elite. After a brilliant decade of Jordi Alba by this sector, so much in attack as in defence, the apparition this season of Alejandro Balde is leaving increasingly calm to all in the Camp Nou thanks to the demonstration of the youngster during each party in which it is headline.

His impressive pre-season carried him to burst into in the first team and quickly won the titularity by in front of one of the captains of the team, an at all simple task. This Sunday in front of the Athletic Club, in his first party in a so important stage as it is it Saint Mamés, Balde did not hide and so much in attack as in defence lució like what is: the best carrilero left in LaLiga.

It is true that the season of Reinildo with the Athletic -much more like third head office- and of Juan Miranda (also formed in The Masia) with the Real Betis have been fantastic in his respective contexts, any is being it inside the best defence of the tournament, and of all Europe regarding big leagues refers . With his first season consolidated in the Barça, Balde even has acted like right side during a moment of the season and neither like this deslució.

As to all the players culés this season, in Europe the history has been a bit distinct and has had a lot of more problems to be able to be regulate, but inside Spain, his command has been absolute. So much it is so this Sunday Nico Williams decided to begin the party by the left band and confront to Sergi Roberto, knowing that with Balde would suffer much more to explode his speed.

The 8 of 11 duels won by the defender culé confirm that the minor of the two Basque brothers had reason in wanting to avoid to a player that when it has to accelerate seems an authentic locomotive. Perhaps the best statistical that define the party, and his season in general, was that of the five attempts that had to surpass rival, all achieved them.

Balde Took advantage of of the little defensive solidarity of the attackers of the Athletic for during almost all the second half arrive to background line every time that it could, and that wanted, and explode his speed of the best possible way. Five long balloons delivered with successes of seven tried and a percentage of passes of 90% leave clear that the youngster is carrying the recognition of many of way justified.
