Gerardo Martino delighted with Victor Valdes form

Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino praises the form of his goalkeeper Victor Valdes, along with squad players Alex Song and Martin Montoya.

Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino has praised the form of his goalkeeper Victor Valdes after Saturday's 4-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.

The Catalan giants kept up their 100% record in La Liga, thanks to Valdes, who saved a first-half penalty.

The 31-year-old was in fine form throughout the league clash, pulling off a string of impressive saves to keep a clean sheet.

"Valdes is playing at a fantastic level and all I can do is enjoy it as his manager," Martino told reporters. "He had decisive saves and he saved a penalty."

The 50-year-old coach also singled out Alex Song and Martin Montoya for praise, as he looks to introduce some more of his squad players to the side during a busy period.

"Alex Song and Martin Montoya played very well," the Argentine added. "They are at a good level despite the fact that they don't get a lot of playing time."

Barca face Real Sociedad in the league next Tuesday.
