“Whatever your name, you will have a period of adaptation”
“Football and life have taught me that no matter how great your talent, you will always have to adapt during a new adventure. No matter what your name is, you will have an adjustment period. This is what is happening now, because in the end he is also human and humans go through a process of adaptation. He left a club where he was all his life. He arrives in a new house where everything is new. New teammates, a new methodology, different football. You have to adapt. And whatever his name is. He is currently going through his adjustment period, but he will never stop being Leo (laughs) “. admitted Dani Alves during an interview with Canal + for the Canal Football Club.
