For the first time since October 2019, Dani Alves is part of the Seleçao. The right back of the Brazilian Sao Paolo disappeared from the radar for a moment, but can put on the canary yellow shirt again.
National coach Tite is counting on the extroverted defender for the matches against Ecuador and Paraguay on 4 and 8 June. “It’s a pleasure to see him still play at a high level,” Tite said at the press conference.
Alves is also very happy with the news. On Instagram, the ex-player of Barcelona and PSG writes: “People without dreams are people without lives. As long as I live, I keep dreaming.”
“It is always an honor and an immeasurable pleasure to represent our country,” Alves continues. “A good son always returns home,” he concludes with a wink.
Brazil is in the lead of the South American qualifying group for the World Cup, with 12 out of 12. Argentina is 2 points behind the leader, Ecuador has 9 points on the counter.
