Jordi Alba: ”Our focus is now on the League and the Europa League”

Alba wants to move on from the Copa exit

Valencia wing-back Jordi Alba has stated that the team’s focus is now directed towards achieving a top-four finish in the Primera Liga and to win the Europa League, after their elimination from the Copa Del Rey against Barcelona on Wednesday night.

”We have to think about the league, which is the competition that can lead us to the next edition of the Champions League and we must not forget about the Europa League which is also a very nice competition.”

Alba admitted that the team were ‘annoyed’ with their defeat to Barcelona but he acknowledged that the team didn’t play well and made costly mistakes.

A few days ago, in an interview with Gol Television, Alba was quoted as saying ‘any player as a kid dreams of winning things with Barcelona’, which has once again intensified the rumours that the young Spaniard will be joining the Catalans this summer.

But Alba claims he was misinterpreted. ”They took my words out of context,” said the 22 year-old, ”But that has not been disrespectful to anyone because the truth is that every kid dreams of returning to the first club team he played for.”

    If he cant commit himself to Valencia in the long-term than he can go to Barça and screw his career like Gerard Lopez’ done before him. Seriously, Valencia doesn’t need players that aren’t commited to the club. If they can survive without Mata, they could as well do without Alba.

    No shit

    he is gone… we should sell him this summer when we can get a lot of money for him. at least we still have M-boy

    Goodbye Jordi, Mathieu does well on the left side even without you.
     
    But seriously, i don’t think he’s a world class left defender (yet)…
