Many times it is said that the new player can improve by having at his side the one who used to be the best in that position, although there are situations in which he could slow down his development. Barça faces this with Bald and Alba
With the stop of selections from the next 20 March, this month of March with regard to the football will go quite fast, something that does that in the dispatches of the FC Barcelona have to work of form more accelerated in the planning of the next course. One of the important points in the Camp Nou is what do with Jordi Alba that has agreement until 2024, but that already has lost the titularity.
The second captain of the team has been displaced of evident form by Alejandro Balde that already is between the most promising footballers of the world. The physical power, the technician, the capacity of sobreponerse in front of the rival one and again, have done that the canterano culé put on the ramp of exit to the that had been the headline of this position during the last decade.
With this stage the Barça finds in front of two possible solutions, or perhaps three. The first, and more obvious, is to try achieve him a new club to Alba and like this save his last year of index card, one that is not for nothing low. Of this way the champion of Europe with the club in 2015 could keep on being headline, perhaps in the Series To of Italy, and besides would leave some entry in the arks culés, by low that this went.
Of this way all the parts could go out benefited, although it would remain surely this interrogante of if Balde will be able to coexist with the absolute titularity in his second year in the elite of the world-wide football. With this question arises the second option, which would carry to the club to keep to the experienced defender in the staff, but trying reduce this last year of wage when explaining him that it no longer is a footballer title of the staff.
In this case all will remain of part of the good will of the player, since when having his agreement signed by the next season, and without restriction to have to go down the index card to continue by writing, the Barça would be to favour of the player. Precisely this would carry to the third stage, in which simply there would be any change or negotiation and Jordi Alba would fulfil without alterations his last year of agreement in the Camp Nou.
Which decision benefits more?
With all this deployed, the Barça has to ask, deportivamente speaking, what is what more serves him to follow strengthening the projection of Alejandro Balde. The priority right now in this position is the canterano, and with Marcos Alonso already renewed, would not need to Alba like alternative of rotation, although yes in the case that it wanted to follow learning more than a profile of offensive side that so many fruits gave in the last 10 years.
The against part of this continuity would be in having to one of the 'holy cows' of the team condemned to the suplencia, something that sooner or later will do that Balde have to go to the bench in some party in which really was not needing rest. This could brake his confidence and performance, having besides on the field to a player that is upper to the youngster in very few appearances of the game at present.
