Although he is no longer very young, Dani Alves has said he is ready for the Barcelona challenge and intends to reward Xavi Hernandez for his confidence.
From the height of his 38 years, Dani Alves seems to be still in good shape. And despite the termination of his contract last September in Sao Paulo for financial reasons, FC Barcelona decided to trust him by signing him to a six-month contract until the end of the season. According to FIFA regulations, he will not be able to take his first official steps before this early January. But during a friendly meeting against Boca Juniors on December 14, Alves brought complete satisfaction to Xavi Hernandez who conveyed the message following. “He was very good, he had spent a lot of time without playing. We saw everything he could give us: intensity, work, the last pass and he made the difference “. And while FC Barcelona has for some time demonstrated worrying defensive problems, the return of the experienced Dani Alves would not be a bad thing according to the principal concerned during an interview granted to Canal + .
Xavi would have made the right choice for Alves!
“Xavi and I are coming back to the club when they need us most. (…) His return is a message sent to Barça supporters, the club's history is defended with historical figures, with the people who love this club, with those who want to defend its history. Barca will be back to what they were. I have no doubt about it, but you have to be careful not to lose the basics. Because they are used to write new chapters. You cannot afford to lose this soul. I believe that with our return we decided to prevent this. ” entrusted Dani Alves to the Canal Football Club, assuring in passing that he was ready to take up this challenge and ready to respond to his detractors who said he was finished when he was signed in November last.
