Alejandro Balde says he appreciates the support of Barcelona and Spain senior teammate Jordi Alba.
Balde is effectively Alba’s backup for club and country.
He said, “They (senior players) guide us. For example, Jordi Alba, who plays in my position and usually advises me. The first day he already told me that in the national team the full-backs were positioned differently and he already explained it to me. He gives me good advice.
“When there are two in the same position, people see it as if it were a war, but no. In the end, if he’s okay, he’s going to make me better. And if I’m fine, I’ll do better for him. It is competition, but it is healthy, good. It’s not bad at all because he makes me better and that’s good.”
Balde added: “We have a clear objective. We won on Wednesday, but we already forgot. On Sunday there is another final and we have to beat Germany.”
