Goalkeeping Genius!
Despite winning the champions league on three occasions, La Liga on 5 occasions and the Copa Del Rey, it is surprising that Valdes has failed to achieve success on the international stage.
Despite having a better goals conceded record for the last 10 consecutive season compared to Spain’s first choice goalie Iker Casillas, Valdes has never been able to challenge his international counterpart for the no 1 shirt for the national side.
Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has said that he is extremely confident that his teammates will be able to take their chances that they create at the Camp Nou.
Barcelona suffered their first defeat in the Champions League this season after the 1-0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final at Stamford Bridge.
Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has said that the El Clasico alone will not be deciding the destination of the title.
Barcelona will be facing the leaders of the Spanish league Real Madrid at the Camp Nou in a match that will be present in between the two Champions League semifinals.
Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has said that superstar Lionel Messi is capable of defining a new era in world football.
Lionel Messi is widely regarded to be the best player in the world right now, while many are also of the opinion that he is comparable with the likes of Diego Maradona and Pele.
Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has said that he is dedicating his team’s victory over Sevilla in the recent Spanish league encounter to fellow teammate Eric Abidal.
Eric Abidal has been diagnosed with a major problem in his liver, which may subject him to a liver transplant. This shocking news comes after just a year when Eric Abidal underwent heart surgery in order to correct a problem. Barcelona won the match against Sevilla 2-0 to keep the pressure on the leaders Real Madrid, but Victor Valdes was more focused on ensuring that Eric Abidal came back fit and ready.
Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has said that Barcelona easily have the best youth system in the world right now.
Barcelona have produced a number of world-class players over the years. One of the most recent one who springs to the mind is Lionel Messi, who joined the club in at the age of 14.
Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has said that there is every chance that Barcelona could still win the league.
Barcelona has dropped behind from Real Madrid at an alarming pace in recent weeks. After the loss to Osasuna, Real Madrid managed to extend their lead at the top of the table to 10 points, thus casting a real doubt on the ability of Barcelona to win the title for the fourth consecutive season.
However, their goalkeeper Victor Valdes is of the opinion that Barcelona are still good enough to win the league, but will have to rely on the results elsewhere.
Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has become one of the best rated goalkeepers in recent times. Even though he was accused of the occasional faults a few years ago, Victor Valdes has become a truly exceptional goalkeeper in the last few years.
He has been responsible for Barcelona winning a number of trophies in the last few years including the Club World Cup, and he is now hoping to lead them to glory, and the title of being the best club in the world again, after winning the title two years back.
FC Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes does not want his team-mates to rest on their laurels and wants to keep winning, stressing that the Catalan giants are still as hungry and driven by the urge to succeed as they were before, maybe even more!
According to Valdes, the search for more and more silverwear is what keeps that club going, it is what drives each and every player in the team and in Pep Guardiola, they have a manager who is the ideal person to motivate a side that has won everything there is to win in club football over the last three years, but still keep wanting more.
Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has said that he is keen to see Barcelona lifting more trophies in the future. Since 2008, Barcelona have been extremely successful in the domestic and European competitions.
Not only have they dominated the domestically by winning a hat-trick of League titles, but they have also dominated the European front with two Champions League titles in just three seasons.
Guardiola has totally transformed the strength at Barcelona, while retaining the same philosophy of the club that has been in place since Cruyff. Victor Valdes was initially regarded as a goalkeeper not capable of being on the same level as Casillas, but he has proven his doubters wrong by becoming one of the greatest goalkeepers in recent seasons.
