Daniel Alves

[Topolino]

Dani is taking it to the next level.

Overly attatched Dani Alves.

 

[xXKonan]

His injury is healing faster than expected.

 

[te amo barca]

This guy is a machine.

 

[ThwiX]

Back in full training. Looks like he will be ready for Levante then. Douglas also back.

 

[Chainsaw]

Douglas also back.

Great news!

 

[Barcaman]

Niice! (Not that Roberto wasn't good at covering the spot)

 

[FCBarca]

Was just thinking that the older a player becomes, the longer it typically takes to recover...of course, Alves is exceptional in many ways

Great to hear, Roberto had filled in brilliantly but I've missed seeing Dani

 

[serghei]

Dani Alves should now enter the rotational mechanism of the team. He should no longer be one of the players who play every single game if he's available. Roberto has earned the right to receive minutes irrespective of Alves' form, health, or fitness level imho. Which is something Montoya never did.

 

[xXKonan]

From Today's training.

With how well Roberto is playing we can Rest Alves a lot more and instead of wearing him thin.

I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt Lucho shares your thoughts.

Enrique, the rotations maniac? He didn't rotate Alves much before because there wasn't a proper replacement. Now, there is.

Eh, you might be right. We'll see.

By the way, do you guys think Enrique would have tried Roberto at RB if Montoya and/or Douglas were available?

Maybe, but injuries surely played a huge role in Roberto's chance at RB. I only say maybe too, because LE was already playing Roberto all over the field in an attempt to find a position in which the player could identify himself. He was played as attacker, LCM, RCM, CDM before he was played at RB due to injuries. So perhaps he would have eventually found his way to a shot at RB, but injuries surely expedited it.

Didn't Roberto said that Lucho told him he will be RB this year b4 the end of last season?because if that is the case I guess the answer is yes

 

[Alik]

I'd like to see Roberto as DM again, vs Levante at home. Alves will then be back at RB, and Busi gets to rest.
