Alves: "It will be a difficult party, further of Diego Coast"

"The duel in front of the Athletic of Madrid has the same value that against any another European rival and have to it to us take very seriously. It is very uncomfortable to confront to a team like the Athletic but these big challenges are those that move us", has affirmed this Monday Dani Alves, showing the motivation of the staff. "We are two teams that propose different things, both valid. This Tuesday have to step forward to break the series in front of the Athletic and to try obtain a good result in the Camp Nou", has added the Brazilian side of the Barça.

Alves Considers that this balance has to break and that this Tuesday would be the ideal moment: "it will be a difficult party, further of Diego Coast. The Athletic has other players with a lot of quality and proposes an intensity of game very difficult to counter". "We have to have the possession of the balloon and that there is fluidity in the game, without interruptions. If have we the ball will concede few opportunities. And, of course, we have to have tarpaulin of face to the goal", has explained the '22' Barcelona, that would not sign never the tie, since it always plays to win.

Asked on the criticisms that has received the team lately, the defence of the Barça has been clear: "15 days ago it seemed that all was a chaos and that were in the end of the world. However, this team has showed that when it seems that it finish a cycle, opens another". "They are things that can not us affect. The arguments of this team are in the way to work, his ambition and the enormous quality of his players", has added Alves, that still has wanted to go a bit further: "Always it seems that it look for some weakness to the team. Whenever the Barça wins is by the referees and when it loses, because the cycle has finished. Now it speaks of the defence. Our proposal is to be different to the rest. Our team knows that to win it is necessary to risk. This has carried us to the success".

Dani Alves Also has wanted to clear what said does some weeks on the public of the Camp Nou: "When I commented it it was because had the feeling that the people left to come to the Stadium. It wanted to do understand to the people that have to go all to one to achieve the aims. To be able to enjoy of the titles, previously have to collaborate all together, we in the field and they encouraging from the terracing".

Regarding some proper names, the Brazilian does not have escatimado praises for Neymar and Iniesta: "Neymar lives a process of normal adaptation. The criticisms have arrived after the episode of his agreement. Has to value the work and the contribution of the player, no the price that has paid by him. The people demands to that that knows that it can contribute more and Neymar can do it". "Iniesta already was a big footballer when I arrived, but now is it even more. Iniesta, as Xavi , would have to have a Balloon of Gold in his list of winners to be coherent with what have contributed to the football".

Finally, regarding his personal feelings, Alves has ensured that will do the possible to continue linked to the Barça: "I see Me well, I am working as always. A club is like a company and is normal that, if there are doubts, look for alternative. It likes me go against of the opinion of the people. Already it does three years that looks for a right side but will try to lengthen my stay here as much as can".
