FC Barcelona He was key in the reaction in Vallecas and has the same assists, 9, as all last year
Jordi Alba was one of the players to whom Ronald Koeman had to resort to turn the scoreboard in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey against him Vallecano Ray. The entrance of the defender of L’Hospitalet, midway through the second half, he helped uncover the tie. His entrance varied the drawing of the meeting: his band assumed the weight of the attack and his was the assistance in the second goal, that of the triumph, which one. This course, the winger has already added 9 final passes, the same as all of last season. His great moment places him as a firm candidate for the list of Luis Enrique.
Alba is living a second youth at age 31. The Barça left-handed side has no rival in the cul team. It has no relief. Koeman I bet yesterday, against him Lightning in Vallecas in the Cup, starting with Junior Firpo, but the former Betis player proved not to be at the same level as the Catalan. The Dutchman saw it and hence he gave in to the ex from Valencia, to whom he had given rest, in the second half. And the reaction came. The one of L’Hospitalet reactive, next to Pedri Y Dembl, to the Catalan set. His was the assist in the goal of Frenkie de Jong, the second of Only after the tie achieved by Messi.
With the assistance of the Dutch midfielder, Jordi Alba has already made nine final passes this year: one in the Cup, five in LaLiga, one in the Super Cup and two in the Champions League. They are the same as all of last season. The 18-19 season, achieved 17 ,, its maximum. And in the 17-18, 11. Figures that can reach today.
His great moment, causes that the side has become one more option for Luis Enrique. Gay and Reguiln are the two footballers in whom the former Barça coach is trusting the most, who also has Grimaldo, Angelio, Yuri and Bernat to cover the left wing of the rear. There is strong competition to be in the Spanish team to face the Eurocup in June.
The relationship between Jordi Alba Y Luis Enrique It is not the friendliest, but the Asturian coach has already bet on him in some matches of the national team, against Croatia, Norway and Sweden, and was a fundamental man in his scheme when he was in the Camp Nou. The list for Eurocup still to be done. There is competition on the left back, but Jordi Alba has become a more than feasible option.
