Profile- Víctor Valdés

Our squad is complete and ready for new season, we have some new players, some old players and legendary players too! I think it's good to know them all, so I plan to post some information (and a LOT of photos) about our blaugrama's boys. I hope you will like it. One more important thing: I will concetrate on players' personal stuff, I don't want to write about all profesional detail of career or sport issues, because you can find such information everywhere in Internet.
