Daniel Alves enjoys his present at Barcelona at the age of 38 but feels that something is missing. In his last interview with ESPN, he referred to Lionel Messi and revealed issues of his intimate talks before the Brazilian himself left the Catalan club. Now, invite Leo to return.
— How do you see Leo at Paris Saint-Germain? Are you enjoying yourself?
“Not for me. He's not enjoying it. No, no...
- Why?
“For me it is not enjoying it because for me it is out of place. Right now Leo is out of place there. I'm going to say something that Leo always said to me: “Where are you going to be better than here?” And I checked it out! There is no better place than here. for x reason it is not there and I hope I can come back.
- Do you see that Leo can come back?
“I don't know, but if he comes, come with me here.
The Bahian winger, who is the footballer with the most assists to Messi (42 in total), pursues the dream of sharing a court with the Argentine again. In the midst of rumors about the possible return of the rosarino to the culé cast, he referred to his current situation: “This is the year that I am challenging myself the most. The challenge of returning to Barça and being on a big level. It's the most important year of my life.”
When it came to mentioning the differences he found from that Barcelona he left in 2016 and today, he did not hesitate: “The quality of players we had before and now. Back then they were made players, now they are in the process.” However, he inflated his chest due to the walk of the team led by his former teammate Xavi Hernández: “Now you can beat Real Madrid and anyone. But we have to put together several things. Don't lose style, which is what makes you different from the rest.”
The youth who surprised Dani Alves the most was Pedri: “It is to think, intelligent. He manages to see and execute things that others can't see or can't do. It reminds me of the mister.” And about Xavi, he said: “I used to see it as I see it now. Someone who knows a lot about football, who already transmitted that to us when he played. The value of playing football, DNA, wanting the ball and not missing passes”.
How was Dani Alves' return to the Catalan institution conceived? “I have a very strong connection with Joan (Laporta), the president. When he took over, he told him he thought he needed me. 'If you need me, I'll come back. ' He told me he was going to see because he had to talk to his vice. I left here, but I always looked at Barça. He lacked spirit, which is what I have most. The desire to compete, not accept defeat. You have to compete, not just work.” He added: “Football for me is life, it is the solution of my life. Then I can't think of football as a game. But I can't stop enjoying myself.”
