Dani Alves

“Everyone wants, wants, wants... and when they have, they feel desperate.”

“I have flaws, but I'm honest.”

“Before I go up against the best forwards in the world - Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Neymar - I study their strengths and weaknesses like an obsession, and then I plan how I am going to attack. My goal is to show the world that Dani Alves is on the same level.”

“For those who are genuinely passionate about football, Barca are worthy of admiration.”

“Before I went to Juventus, I made a final promise to the board at Barcelona. I said, 'You're going to miss me.' I didn't mean as a player. Barca have plenty of incredible players. What I meant was that they were going to miss my spirit.”

“I think Neymar is one of the few players who was touched by God when he was born, and He said, 'You will be thee player.'”

“I'm a very restless person, and new experiences excite me more than anything else.”

“I love English football. I love the way people live it so intensely.”

“You have to be strong and calm to overcome difficult moments.”

“People automatically think that because you attack, you can't defend. Not true.”

“In life, people move on their interests and even more when money is an issue.”

“The world is evolving, and we must evolve with it.”

“If people only knew how much I respect Cristiano Ronaldo. I will repeat it to make myself clear: I respect Cristiano Ronaldo.”

“If you live your life by what others say, it stops being your life.”

“I am so dedicated, so passionate, and that counts for more than what crazy people throw at me.”

“I like my decisions to be taken carefully, so they don't harm anyone close to me, so that the people close to me are happy.”

“When you want to win, you are doomed to suffer conflicts.”

“Sometimes, words are twisted and don't reach people in their intended way.”

“What's football for? To win. And to win, you have to score more.”

“If you have a negative model, you do negative things. If you have a positive model, like Guardiola, who says positive things and tells you to compete on the pitch and to play football, it's much better.”
