Daniel Alves

[serghei]

Best RB in the world. Without a doubt. One of the most technically gifted defenders I've ever seen.

 

[FC B]

That's the Alves we know !!

 

[Horatio]

He looked fast as well.

 

[EdmondDantes]

Two beautiful assists. One of the best right backs the game has seen.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

I love to criticize Alves and he can be extremely annoying at times but I also love this guy. Very good performance on both ends and MotM for me.

He's looking very good lately. Probably the thought of Sergi Roberto benching him forced him to work harder? He never had realistic competition on RB before.

 

[Observer]

He has always been a class player in my book

The LB/RB role carries an intrinsic risk within the Barca system, if you are not fully fit or in-form your bound to commit errors or impact the defense in a bad way.

Dani has fulfilled the role in a great way for quite some time now.

Yea, I think the thing with him, is that, with way he plays and the roles he has, he is one of the guys that get the most exposed when we are not playing well (granted that he does make the occasional personal mistake himself). Him and Pique I think. When we play bad, they strike me as the worst of the lot. When we play well though, they look like the absolute best in the world at their position and every ball they handle goes right.

I'm sure that if we check the games Alves is bad in, Pique is usually bad too. Just as a curiosity I will check it next time and put this idea to test.

When did he learn to cross?

as much as Dani Alves involved in attack, Rakitic and some other players covered balance.
It became worse after they lost focus and some players tried to score themselves,,, thou..
I think Dani understands attackers movement perfectly that is how he can help attack even though he lost some pace

Didn't find the video anywhere so thought I'd put it here.

[RationalMathematician]

In my opinion we'd be better off playing Sergi Roberto instead of Alves and playing a 3-4-3 formation (Sergi Roberto as extra control midfielder). Alves is a legend, but nowadays he lacks pace and we need extra control in the midfield.

 

[EdmondDantes]

Alves is much faster than Sergi. It ain't broke; don't fix it lad.
