Brazil’s veteran right back Dani Alves sees similarities between Pep Guardiola and current Seleção boss Tite. Alves worked with Guardiola at Barcelona and has played in each of Tite’s four games in charge of Brazil.
The 33 year old insists that the coaches share similar traits, “No doubt that Tite’s work is similar to that seen in Europe. Not only Tite, but the whole staff, reminds me a bit of Guardiola in many things. It is a great honour, I have long wanted to work with him, I had high expectations when he was appointed.”
Alves, who left Barcelona for Juventus over the summer, continued, “I am fortunate to be working with him, not only do I like it but the whole group does. I believe that not only Tite, but the whole staff, breaks things down for us and it makes it easier for us to play, so that we can do a great job.”
