My Take
Jordi Alba is my kind of footballer: undersized at 170 cm, yet relentless. Released by Barcelona as a youngster, he clawed his way back through Cornellà and Valencia, then returned to become one of the finest left-backs of his era. What I love is how he weaponized his lack of height with endless running, blistering pace, and pure will, turning a supposed weakness into an identity. His telepathic link with Messi produced countless goals from sheer overlapping persistence. I have a soft spot for players who refuse to accept limits, and Alba is exactly that.
