To strengthen its workforce, Xavi has decided to repatriate another former member of the Barça house: Dani Alves. Asked about the return of the Brazilian defender, Oscar Mingueza was totally inflamed.
Back at Barça to take over from Ronald Koeman, Xavi has already registered his first recruit. And this is a face already well known to FC Barcelona, namely Dani Alves. Without a contract since leaving Sao Paulo, the former defender of PSG therefore finds Barça freely and for free. A news that fills with joy Oscar Mingueza. In an interview with TV3, the player trained at FC Barcelona expressed his immense joy at being able to play alongside by Dani Alves.
“He brought an incredible atmosphere to the locker room”
“The return of Dani Alves? It is a pride to share the same locker room as him. He brought an incredible atmosphere to the locker room. He is the first to go to the gym to work, he gives intensity to the training sessions, he adds rhythm and he is the one who runs the most … (Sergio) Busquets and (Gerard) Pique had me already said it was a very tough running machine. It's amazing that at 38, he comes up with this attitude and mindset. This will give the team the thirst for victory they need. As a defender, I had always focused on his game. And watching him play was incredible, ”said Oscar Mingueza.
