Dani Alves was interviewed with Television Espanola and responded with some interesting points. Never one to bite his tongue, he spoke on various topics.
The start of the season: "We did not have a good preseason, but we found our faults in a timely fashion."
Current moment: "We compete well, we're in a sweet moment. But like Luis Enrique says, we can always improve. Tougher games will come."
Messi injury: "The team was strong before Messi's injury. We've shown that we're competitive beyond the players on the pitch."
Consecutive Champions Leagues: "We want to make football history. It's an objective that's there. This year it's our challenge, to make history, something unique."
Club World Cup: "It's an appetising tournament. But we have to go game by game, so we don't go like others who were thinking of the final but never played it."
Cheryshev case: "I don't want to put my finger in the wound, but he who commits an error has to pay for it. You have to apply the rules."
MSN: "The secret is that each of them know their role. They help each other if one of them isn't having their best day."
Ballon d'Or: "I see Messi winning his fifth, by a long way. He's well in front of the others, above all in the influence he has on the team. The best in the world doesn't have to be individualistic."
