I said it before and say it again: Barça is one team with Dani Alves and another without him. Dani projection on the right used to push the opposing team back. When the team used to converge to the right, because of Dani, that left Jordi Alba and/or Neymar free on the left (yes, Barça is missing Neymar, as well.) Messi misses his old partner, Alves. it is hard to understand why we let Dani go!!! In addition, what is Sergi Roberto doing? He is playing not to make a mistake. He does not project himself on the right. He gets the ball and gets rid of it, like a hot potato. He is making a very sure pass. However, it does not help the team at all.
