Dani Alves wants to hang the gold medal of the Olympic Games with Brazil. The 38-year-old side wears the bracelet in the canarinha and has become the leader of the dressing room. He has put the team on his back and wants to guide it to glory.
Alves is the footballer who has won the most titles. The Brazilian has raised a total of 42 cups throughout his career, most of them during his time at Barcelona.. With Brazil he managed to win twice with the Copa América, in 2007 and 2019. Despite this, the hunger for titles of the veteran footballer from Juazeiro has not been satiated. One of the thorns that he has stuck in is winning a World Cup or a Games with his country.
At 38, it could be the last chance to fulfill his dream. Alves is far from the best football level he displayed at the Camp Nou, but he still has fuel left. Currently he is a member of São Paolo, where he performs different tasks from those he used to do in Europe. In the Brasileirao he usually plays in the middle, both as a pivot and as a playmaker.
Andrés Iniesta, a former teammate in Alves' Barcelona, wanted to give him a gift, taking advantage of the fact that the Games are being held in Japan. The one from Fuentealbilla sent him a Vissel Kobe shirt, with his name and the number he wears on the team. Alves thanked the gift publicly through his Instagram.
