Luis Enrique explains the impressive change in Barça's Aleix Vidal

The coach has been won round by the full-back's recent run of form in the first team

Luis Enrique praised Aleix Vidal after the Barcelona full-back turned his situation at the club around. 

The former Sevilla man looked set to leave in the January transfer window, but has come back into the setup and impressed in recent weeks. 

He has even scored two goals -- in the wins against Las Palmas and Athletic Club in La Liga. 

"Vidal has taken advantage of his chances," Luis Enrique said. "He's never complained and he has always trained well.

"In the last few games shown capable of being at the level required.

"There were times when I felt he had things to improve. Now he's playing well -- the last three or four weeks he's been very good -- and it's great news.

"He's adding a lot of things to the team and they're all positive. It's great news to have another player, another option for me and the team."

In the last four league games Aleix has played 295 minutes, which accounts for 40 percent of the football he has played this season.
