Alba wary of team-mate Turan for Turkey
2016-06-16 06:50:00 from:SNTVSpain's Jordi Alba looked ahead on Wednesday (15th June) to their second Euro 2016 Group D match against Turkey on Friday.
(Q. You play with Turkey’s team captain Arda Turan at Barcelona, what kind of player is he?)
"He’s a vital player for his team. He’s an idol for his country. For sure, he’ll be looking forward to the game. The other day, Turkey lost but he’s a player who is always very dangerous and all the balls go through him. And I’m sure he’ll be very motivated for the game as he knows all of us. For sure, he’ll be on top of his game and will try to win. But let’s see if we can win."
"Andres is used to playing in the middle, but sometimes he plays on the far left. Wherever he plays he’s a vital player for us at Barcelona and also for us as the national team. He’s essential and very much needed, and when the game is against us he can create great opportunities for us. He can create danger. He stands out from the rest and I’m very fortunate to have him as a team-mate at Barcelona and on the national team."
