Víctor Valdés, the goalkeeper total

Victor Valdes is poised to become, if not already in the best goalkeeper in the history of Barcelona. Despite having only 29 years, boasts some records and some numbers worthy of a veteran. In addition, the role on the team has grown steadily to take to be one of the best boat captains in history. The cold statistics are a clear indicator of its quality and its contribution to a team that has won everything in recent seasons.

Barcelona goalkeeper is the most league games has played (306) and also the official has played more games (424), surpassing legends like Zubizarreta, Ramallets, Sadurní or Artola. He has also managed to end the ongoing debate that existed in the Camp Nou since retired Zubi. After enduring a critical early years, his game calmed down and no one disputes that should be the team's starting goal. In fact, a fundamental part in the beginning of the game Barca.

However, it was easy. Van Gaal, who was the coach who gave him the opportunity he was 20 years (season 2002-03), was about to throw the club. There was already a strong character of the keeper, one of his virtues, together with their professionalism in preparing the parties. After relegation to the bench with Roberto Bonano, the Dutch coach sent him back to the subsidiary, which was in the Second Division B. Valdes was presented not only the party that had to play, but decided not to go to training. After three days of uncertainty, Joan Gaspart had to mediate to what Van Gaal considered a serious act of indiscipline. The poor performance that led to the removal of the Dutch and the arrival of Radomir Antic, were decisive for Valdes returned to first team.

After winning four trophies Zamora, is well-placed to win the fifth and match Ramallets, the only goalkeeper who has achieved this figure. Along the way, is breaking records. It is the keeper of the history of Barça more consecutive minutes without conceding a goal. The Ander Herrera both in San Mamés on Sunday stopped the clock at 886 minutes, surpassing the previous record of 62 Miguel Reina. Valdes is the goalkeeper total: good at the top, one on one, in the footwork and positioning. An absolute guarantee.
