Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Christopher Nkunku’s “Little Brother” interview!
Jordi Alba is having a complicated start to the season. While he was very close to signing for Inter Milan in the last moments of the transfer window, the Barcelonan finally stayed in Catalonia. But for the time being, the Spanish international plays very little, Xavi preferring the new recruit Marcos Alonso or the young Alejandro Balde, to the position of left side. The 33-year-old has started just once in La Liga this season, and once in the Champions League, amassing just 217 minutes of playing time so far. In addition to his complicated personal situation on the ground, Jordi Alba would also have been reframed by his management, for facts dating back to last May.
According to the Spanish media macaw, the winner of Euro 2012 with La Roja, allegedly complained of having traveled to Australia at the end of last season to play a friendly match. Indeed, Barça played a match in Sydney on May 25 against a selection of the best players in the Australian championship. Jordi Alba had played 30 minutes in this meeting, won by the Catalans 3-2. After having expressed his displeasure for having moved so far, the left side would then have asked: “why do we have to travel for this?”. The management of Barcelona would then have replied curtly to Alba: “to pay for contracts like yours”. Proof of the tense atmosphere that reigns between the player and the Barcelona leaders.
– No, Alba no s’ho esperava. El factor Balde destarota els plans. També els by Xavi.
– Sí, s’ha felt assenyalat pel club.
– No, no va ser l’únic que va queixar-se per l’amistós a Australia.
– Sí, vol reivindicar-se amb Espanya.Ho explico aquí ⬇️https://t.co/LBqwo4oWyk
