Daniel Alves still does not know when he will make his official debut with Barcelona. The Brazilian full-back is counting the days, but for the moment he is out due to Covid. The defender has given an interview to the Qatari station Alkass Sports Chanells and in it explains the reason for his return to Barcelona: “We have returned to help.”
Alves has only played the Diego Armando Maradona Cup friendly against Boca Juniors. The Barça team does not go through for a moment, but the full-back does not hide his ambition and praises his current coach: “I am happy to work with Xavi, we made history when we played together. It is another challenge to return to the club in these conditions. We want a lot to this club, that’s why we’re coming back to help. “
Alves left in 2016 to sign for Juventus. However, he assures that he always had in his head the idea of returning to the Barça club: “I had the feeling that I would return to Barça and, as much as some did not understand it, I have returned. We have to work to rebuild a great Barça and for this we need stability and solidarity. “And he reveals that if he did not return to Barcelona before, it was because of a person: “I would not have accepted an offer from Bartomeu. I left when he was president and there was no point working with him again,” sentenced.
