However, the player of "Barcelona" is known primarily for a reliable game in the defense. Some experts give the thirty-two-year-old Brazilian laurels the best right-back in the world. In this article, let's talk about this outstanding person.

The beginning of sports career

Brazil has always been famous not only for its outstanding strikers, but also for players representing the stronghold of defense. Daniel Alves early left the expanses of his native country, having moved to the Spanish championship at the age of nineteen. Even as a defender of the youth national team, he got on a pencil for the scouts of Sevilla. Henceforth, the football player did not leave the championship of sunny Spain. It should be noted that all Latin American players perfectly adapt to the conditions of Examples. It now seems that the Brazilian throughout his conscious life protects the colors of "Barcelona". However, Daniel Alves (photo player is presented below) before played in the "Seville" for 6 long years.

Going to Barcelona

It is worth noting that with his first Spanish club player won 5 titles, including becoming a two-time winner of the UEFA Cup, as well as the owner of the UEFA Super Cup. The transition to the blue-garnet camp was partly facilitated by the will of chance. In 2008, Catalan left the main right-back Gianluca Zambrotta. The club had to strengthen its defensive positions in a hurry.

On the vacant seat, like no one else, approached Daniel Alves, has long been adapted to the Spanish championship. However, Sevilla did not want to part with one of its leaders so easily. By the recognition of the player himself, he came to the team as a green youngster and it was here that he formed as a real master. Therefore, the Catalans had to fork out a tidy sum - 35 million euros. This price tag on the defender in the first half of this century was almost astronomical. However, the game was worth the candle.

Universal recognition

It's one thing when a footballer wins the Spanish Cup and the UEFA Cup with Sevilla, and quite another when he has the opportunity to really dream about the gold medals in the Example and aim at winning the Champions League. Daniel Alves, despite his attachment to the previous club, realized that now his game will be in everyone's mind. And all his successful selections, rolls, locks and interceptions will be dealt with by television experts to the smallest detail. The athlete understood that this was a huge step forward. Ask any football player: unless someone refuses to protect the colors of "Barcelona"?

Features of the game style

Many defenders have a well-placed blow and adhere to standards. Our hero is not an exception. However, on the rights of the flank defender Daniel willingly performs connection to the attacks, having the technicality and decent starting speed. More than two dozen goals for the career - the result, which will envy any defender. It is for its universality and is valued in the "Barcelona" and the Brazilian national team, Daniel Alves. Footballer proves his game, that you can perform at a high level after 30 years.

Unpleasant incident

Fans all over the world are divided into two categories: grateful admirers standing in line for an autograph, and orthodox extremists. The second category of fans attends matches not for viewing the game, but with the aim of causing pogroms and fighting with the opposing side. Very often, outrageous thugs are not averse to demonstrating racist antics. So, for example, people from Brazil, especially if they are black, often insult, throwing bananas in them.

Such an unpleasant incident occurred once and with our hero. During the filing of a corner in the match of the championship of Spain with the "Villarreal" fans launched into a football player a banana. Alves also came out victorious here: offended, he did not show his mind. Just took a banana, as if nothing had happened, peeled the skin and ate it. Only then, talking to reporters about the incident, the defender was indignant: "How could you take for a monkey a man who played in the Spanish championship for more than 10 years?"
