If you have a negative model, you do negative things. If you have a positive model, like Guardiola, who says positive things and tells you to compete on the pitch and to play football, it's much better.
Quote by -Dani Alves
I think Neymar is one of the few players who was touched by God when he was born, and He said, 'You will be thee player.'
Quote by -Dani Alves
A player cannot rely only on his name to make a difference but also has to work hard and make things happen on the pitch.
Quote by -Dani Alves
When you have experienced players, you don't tremble when it comes to playing in a hostile atmosphere or under pressure.
Quote by -Dani Alves
I watch loads of football; whenever I am not playing, I am at home watching matches, including the English league.
Quote by -Dani Alves
I am a player who finds it easy to adapt to the circumstances, and I don't think I would have had a problem adapting to England.
Quote by -Dani Alves
I think we always look up to legends and people who not only win but give us a larger than life role model... I think Michael Jordan is this, someone who became bigger than his sport.
Quote by -Dani Alves
If you do the same as all the rest, you're the same as all the rest: I don't want to be just another player.
Quote by -Dani Alves
Barcelona focus a lot on what Barcelona does and not on what others are going to do. It creates a different way of working. Of course we studied our opponents to see their weak points and their strong points, but 70 per cent of the time, it was about us.
Quote by -Dani Alves
I sometimes think that life is a circle. See, I cannot get away from genius. At Barca, I had Messi. At Juve, I have Paulo Dybala. Genius follows me everywhere, I swear.
Quote by -Dani Alves
When I was 18, I moved across the ocean just for the opportunity to play for a club that played against Barcelona. So to have the honour of playing for Barca? It was incredible.
Quote by -Dani Alves
Before I go up against the best forwards in the world - Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Neymar - I study their strengths and weaknesses like an obsession, and then I plan how I am going to attack. My goal is to show the world that Dani Alves is on the same level.
Quote by -Dani Alves
People think that footballers just have a kick around with their mates. If they win, fine; if they don't, that's then fine, too. No pasa nada. No. You have an obligation and responsibility.
Quote by -Dani Alves
People automatically think that because you attack, you can't defend. Not true.
Quote by -Dani Alves
I enjoy gastronomy, music, and fashion, so I'll end up involved in one of those three areas - or all three! They're things I have a passion for, and I only do what I'm passionate about.
Quote by -Dani Alves
In football, I've always been about adapting to what's asked of me, to what my team-mates need from me. I'm a team player.
Quote by -Dani Alves
Players earn their wages, their livelihoods, and their right to compete to win things out on the pitch and not off it.
Quote by -Dani Alves
A national team is a reflection of its country's football, and both Brazil and Argentina have earned respect for what they've achieved.
Quote by -Dani Alves
It's the old story: do you want a normal car, or something top of the range? That is how I am - the older I am, the more expensive I am!
Quote by -Dani Alves
People are marked down for their age - once you get past 30, people look at you a bit funny. When you get to 35, the questions are all, 'When are you going to stop?' Calm down!
Quote by -Dani Alves
I don't have an expiry date. My body is my answer - when I see that I can no longer compete, when my head is not in it anymore, it will be the time to stop.
Quote by -Dani Alves
I have had disagreements with journalists, but they annoy me so much when they don't talk about football.
Quote by -Dani Alves
To be a great champion, you have to believe that you are the best, and if you aren't, then you have to act as though you are.
Quote by -Dani Alves
Cristiano works hard. We have our battles, but I admire him. He is a guy with great dedication, and he's competitive.
Quote by -Dani Alves
Starting in a World Cup is always complicated, hard, and important. When you start well... The rest of the competitors are watching. I think it's the most important match in a World Cup, along with the final.
Quote by -Dani Alves
From God, I have the strength and intelligence to have alternatives and can live even without football.
