FC Barcelona latest signing, Alex Song, thanked managerTito Vilanova and his Barca teammates after the win against Valencia where he dound himself in the starting 11.
"Before the game, the coach spoke with me and told me what he wanted from me," he said. "That calmed me and gave me confidence. Also my teammates spoke a lot with me before and during the game - and that helps a lot."
Against Valencia, Song completed 61 of the 67 passes he attempted, made five recoveries of the ball, was not caught in possession once and committed two fouls.
"I know that here it is important to play one or two touch football. But sometimes, although it seems strange, it is more easy to play like that than hold onto the ball."
