The former right-back and captain of the five-time world champion team assures that “the perspective” is to reach the final in the World Cup.
Former Brazilian side Marcos Evangelista de Moraes ‘Cafú’ consider that Dani Alves now has a better chance of play the World Cup in Qatar-2022 after signing for him FC Barcelona and despite his current 38 years of age.
“It is incredible to know that Dani Alves still has wood to burn, he has gas to spend and he is eager. That is the most important thing, he knows what he wants and he has gone to Barcelona, which is not just any club, “said the double world champion in an interview to the portal UOL released this Thursday.
“That really gives him a chance to go to the World Cup next year. “, He pointed.
In his opinion, the age of Alves, who would go to Qatar at the age of 39, is not a problem.
“First, because it breaks this whole paradigm that a 38-year-old player cannot play for a great club. I also played until I was 38 years old for AC Milan. So for him it’s fantastic, sensational, ”said the former captain of the five-time world champion.
The Brazilian coach, Tite, has called Dani Alves in just six of the fifteen calls made to date within the cycle for the Qatar World Cup, as he recalled UOL.
The current holder on the right side of the national team is Danilo, from Italian Juventus, and as an alternative to that position, Emerson Royal, a player for English Tottenham, has settled.
Cafu also praised Tite’s “impressive” numbers, since since he took over the national team bench in 2016, the team has suffered “very few defeats” and has also closed its qualification for Qatar in the South American qualifiers with much anticipation.
“And that is a merit of the work,” he added.
From his point of view, Brazil is going to reach “1,000%” at the Qatari event and, for that reason, has “great expectations.”
“The team has evolved year after year, it qualified well in advance, which did not happen in a long time, and it has been playing good football, great football, being more aware of what it has to do in relation to the Copa del World. The perspective is to reach the final ”, he explained. (D)
