Barcelona defender, Jordi Alba, has admitted he\u2019s one of the most hated players.
\nHowever, the Spaniard insists his off-the-field attitude is very different to his on-field persona.
\nAlba has made over 360 appearances for Barca since he joined from Valencia in 2012.
\nDuring that time, Alba has won LaLiga five times and a Champions League title in 2014\/2015.
\nHowever, he believes that he hated by those he plays against due to his combative style.
\n\u201cIt is clear that if people know me through football, they would think I\u2019m one of the most hated players in football. That is clear,\u201d he told Movistar+.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s my way of playing and it is what has led me to be the player I am today and to be where I am.
\n\u201cOther people know me by how I am, as a very humble person that values everything in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
