Rivaldo had indicated in his statements:
I don’t know if (Dani Alves) has done the best, choosing Pumas. Yes, he could play in a country where the coach saw him more, but I think the Brazilian coach has a lot of confidence in Dani Alves because of his experience, because he is the player with the most titles and I think that if he goes to the World Cup he will play very well. . He is a bit older, but he has a lot of trust from the coach
Dani Alves defends his decision
In response, the former Barcelona side replied, through his social networks, a message clearly addressed to his compatriot
To do what I do you have to have them well placed… if not, all that remains is to talk
