The right-back believes that the Seleção are ‘very strong’ after their 4-0 friendly win against Panama in Goiânia.
In front of the media, Alves said: “The important thing is to begin playing, the group together, to be ready at the start [of the World Cup]. Everyone participated, each helped in their position. This makes our group very strong."
The Barcelona man was also pleased with his assist for Brazil’s second goal.
“I do not usually make goals, I usually help the team in other ways. One is always happy when he can make a goal."
