Jordi Alba will not play against Leganés on Tuesday at 22:00. The left back saw the yellow card at the edge of the half hour of the second part for a very clear obstruction to Pozo and thus added the fifth card of the cycle. Thus, he will not play against those of Aguirre and he is cleaned with a view to the Sánchez Pizjuán patido and the final stretch of the season. Although Alba slightly protested the card, it gave the whole sensation that he forced it intelligently and that there was strategy in the decision of the lateral.
The winger, by the way, had a happy restart of the League with the goal in the 79th minute and the assistance he gave to Arturo Vidal in the second minute of the match. With 67 days of accumulated sick leave during the championship due to injuries, Alba claimed responsibility in Mallorca.
Alba meets again: “I needed to rest physically and mentally”
The side, one of the highlights of the match, says that “the feelings are good, I see the team looking forward and we have ten other finals left in LaLiga.”
Assistant in the first goal and author of 0-3, it was a happy day for Jordi Alba after a difficult season of injury. I speak
Feelings after the win?
We have been in control of the party. I think we had a great game after three months without competing. Mallorca has fast people, it has created danger but we have controlled it well. The feelings are good, I see the team looking forward and we have another ten finals left in LaLiga.
They have started very well.
That gives confidence. Apart from the atmosphere that does not exist, you had to be focused and well and with a goal at the beginning of the game it is easier.
What feelings have you had? How does it look for the remaining eleven games?
I look good. I have had three major injuries and I have already said that this break, unfortunately because of what has happened, has clearly benefited me. I needed to rest mentally and physically and I am feeling good in training and in games.
Does playing before Madrid influence?
While we win, we must not look at the rival. But we have done our homework, we have played well. And now to wait for what Madrid does.
