Jordi Alba, a Barça legend for whom the elite is starting to look big

Jordi Alba aims to be acting in the FC Barcelona for the first time from his arrival in 2012. To the player of 33 years could finish him his 'reigned' like indisputable left side with the arrival of Marcos Alonso, the one who will be presented this week and will arrive for adueñarse of the left-handed lane. In front of the Ray Vallecano, to Alba saw him little participatory and quite imprecise, maybe intuyendo what comes him : long weeks in the bench.

Against the ones of Andoni Iraola, the one of L'Hospitalet was far to exhibit his usual desbordes that so much help to break lines and create played of danger in parties so trabados like the one of the debut suspender belt. The defensive block of the Ray occupied well the spaces and presionó to the Barça in own field, cutting the circuits of game between the sides and the offensive trident and generating danger to the against.

Although it had to remove him a lot before to look for freshen the attack, Xavi Hernández left to Jordi Alba until the minute 82. Pierre-Emerick Aubamyeng ingresó in his place, but contributed little in a final stretch in which the 'rayistas' defended with everything to keep a meritorio tie in the Spotify Camp Nou. Like this, the Barça completed a disappointing debut in LaLiga home, a party that left in evidence that, to compete in the elite, to the '18' begin to be missing him legs.

The performance of Jordi, in hammered

Although it has been of the maxima asistidores of the team in the two last seasons, the performance of Jordi Alba has come to less in the last polish. The one of L'Hospitalet contested 44 parties (3 goals and 12 assistances) in the 2021-22, but in parties like the ones of Champions and Europe League in front of Bayern and Eintracht of Frankfurt happened it quite bad in defence. The player of 33 years carries a decade being indisputable, but this will finish this year.

With the arrival of Marcos Alonso, the Barça will add a reinforcement of luxury for a place in which they never attained to settle players like Adriano Correia, Junior Firpo and Lucas Digne, among others defenders that did not attain to seat to Alba. Adriano was the one who more near was, being the carrilero left-handed more used by the 'Tata' Martino in the 2013-14. Now, the ex side of Chelsea will arrive to occupy a position that asked refrescamiento from does at least a pair of years. It will be able to Jordi lidiar with his role of variant?
