Today, former Brazilian national team captain Alves was interviewed by Joaqui-Piera, a reporter for the Daily Sports. Alves said: "If Barca think they still need me, they just need to give me a call and they're OK. ”
"I think I can still contribute to any team now. But I can contribute more to Barca, because Barça now has a lot of young talents. ”
"Juan (LaPorta) is very clear about what I think of him and he is also very aware of his contribution to the club and to us, which is nothing new. I've always had that attitude and I'm happy to see him back here again (as President of Barca). He's facing a lot of problems left behind right now, but if there's really a guy with a train to fix them all, then I believe that person must be La Porta. ”
"He (Laporta) has done these things before, but now his task has become even more difficult. Bringing Barca back to where he should be is also the challenge he needs to face at the moment. ”
"I'm still looking for a home and I'm looking for a club that gives me the opportunity to compete against strong teams and keep fighting for the title, like every club I've ever played for. I wouldn't consider anything else. ”
