Valdés keen to get started

Jordi Clos


Barça keeper Victor Valdés is “excited” about the new season, which he reckons is going to be “full of new challenges”. Speaking at the launch of his new webpage, the keeper also commented on the current situation at the Club.



With under a week to go before Barça begin their 2011-12 pre-season, Victor Valdés marked the launch of his personal website ( www.victorvaldes1.com ) by stressing: “I’m really keen to get the season under way and excited about the new challenges we’ll be facing as we fight to retain all our titles”.

Praise for Cesc and Alexis

Whilst explaining that he was: “a little disconnected” from the transfer market speculations at the moment, he expressed his conviction that Cesc Fabregas: “is excited about coming back here and I’d like that. His way of playing would mean he’d have no problems adapting and he’d bring a lot of quality”.

Valdés is also familiar with Chile international Alexis Sánchez: “he surprised me at last year’s World Cup. He’s very good, very fast and his main virtue is his ability to beat a man. He is undoubtedly a really valid option and a very good striker”.

Support for Bojan and Messi
