The Barcelona defender has hailed the PSG stopper as the game’s leading defender and urged the Seleção to bounce back from their Copa América exit.
Brazil defender Dani Alves has warned his team-mates they cannot afford to waste time whining about their Copa América penalty shootout defeat to Paraguay. With the World Cup qualifiers set to get underway in October, Dani Alves has now stressed the importance of concentrating on their continued development ahead of Russia 2018. He said: “We have to accept things and try to evolve. There is no other way. Whining is not an option. What we have to do is take a step forward. Brazil are in a period of transition, with young and promising players who have strong personalities. I believe these are the players who can change things and improve the team.”
He also spoke out in defence of team-mate Thiago Silva, whose handball led to Paraguay’s 72nd-minute equaliser from the penalty spot. Alves said: “For me, Thiago Silva remains the best defender in the world. They are specific situations that happen in the career of every player. These are just moments.”
