No. I dont see that at all.

Maybe you dont recognise Dani's impact like I do.

Alba: "A car? I am trying to get my driver's licence at the moment, but I'm not really a car fanatic." [md]

Lol, does his mum also drive him to training everyday?

When I visited Barcelona's training ground and wanted to see them off most of them had personal drivers, Messi included who is a car fanatic.

Some players do not like driving after working out a lot? Some players prefer a safe driver or the club may request it idk there could be many many reasons.
But most likely it's that he doesn't like driving seeing as he said he isn't a car fanatic.

Anyone know what running cadence is? I'm sure some will, essentially your rate at which you make your strides.

Do you now realise why I ask? This guy is a machine. I swear this is him when he is running

Time for a new nickname? The Energizer Bunny? Or The Roadrunner?

Incredible stamina.

Always liked him although a few here still don't think he is good enough, undoubtedly he needs to work on his defence but his speed does come in handy more then often, he has stopped many counter attacks which is our worst nightmare and his linkup plays with our wingers is beyond this world, I used to fear losing Dani Alves but now it's good to see a young player such as Alba show signs of greatness in his department.

by The Franchise Mon Jan 07, 2013 9:50 pm

I think he is good enough.

I just really dislike what he is bad at. Defending, aerial balls and how many touches you take on the ball.

He is easily good enough, he just isnt better than Adriano nor what Abidal was for us.

Watch Messi's second goal. Who was next to him when he scores? Alba. The man who cleared the corner.
The only full back in history that counterattacks. What a machine.

Edit: maybe I overdid with the "only in history" Very Happy

but few can do this for sure.

Beat me to it. Impressive indeed. All the criticism he gets here is quite unfair. Hardest-working player on the field.

by CBarca Mon Mar 18, 2013 12:53 am

Call me old fashioned I'm more impressed by a defender that defends well and can pass quick and well than a defender who can counterattack.

But his hard work is something to be commended, certainly. That point is certainly a positive one that goes his way.

by The Franchise Mon Mar 18, 2013 1:40 am

Today was his best game I seen from him. But none of it because of his attacking.

The reason he was excellent today was he defended his flank flawlessly, no error defensively at all.

A very good game.

More than hard work, what impresses me is his sheer speed.

Also, alba is quite a good defender except in the air and I don't see him as slow on the ball.

So who wins in a footrace?

mmmmm Alba without the ball Tello with the ball

by gondov Sat Mar 23, 2013 12:04 pm

Injured !!!

Sad

He remained on the pitch for like 10 mins after noticing the discomfort bcz VDB had already made 3 subs.

I just hope that didnt worsen the injury.

by eelir Sat Mar 23, 2013 1:10 pm

Really bad news, especially since Adriano is out too. Can Montoya play on the left?

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Mar 23, 2013 2:08 pm

He can... badly.

by gondov Sat Mar 23, 2013 3:17 pm

Planas

As a sub at least.

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Mar 23, 2013 4:56 pm

Jordi Alba definitely out for the PSG clash

Adriano might be able to just make it, as he was diagnosed 3 weeks of rest starting the 11th, so he would be cleared to play the 1st or 2nd of April, we play PSG April 2nd.

by The Franchise Sat Mar 23, 2013 5:22 pm

Eric Abidal.

I think there might be some chance he is on the bench soon and maybe we can get a look at him.

by danyjr Sat Mar 23, 2013 10:55 pm

How good is Grimaldo?

by The Franchise Sat Mar 23, 2013 10:57 pm

Talented but not ready. He has been up and down for the B team, he is still physically a way off, which hold him back right now.

Grown men can hold him him defensively and they bother him when trying to get down the sides.

by danyjr Sun Mar 24, 2013 12:01 am

Yeah I realised physically he is way too small. But he's only 17, he's got time to grow.

by futbol Sun Mar 24, 2013 3:01 am

He's also out for 7 months with a cruciate ligament injury anyway.
