Dani Alves has come to Barça to solve the problem that the club has on the right wing. It is said that it is an express request from Xavi, but since we still do not know Xavi’s judgment as a coach, until January, the Brazilian full-back will be a mystery, since he will not be able to play in La Liga yet.
Surely Alves ends up giving a good performance, since he is a very competitive player and he will not settle for a position on the bench or give a bad image on the pitch, but he will not save Barça. The Catalan team needs much more to solve all their problems at a sporting level, and although Xavi seems to have the key to recover the sensations, but the problem of the right wing will continue to be there when Alves leaves, since it is a short-term signing .
In fact, the Brazilian full-back could slow down the progression of the young right-back Dest. Barça needs players of the future to build a successful project, and they trust this player a lot, but if Alves plays in his place, he will delay his explosion.
Now Xavi will have to choose between trusting in the future of the young American or in the maturity of Alves. The most positive thing is that both players had their space and could enjoy minutes depending on the specific needs that each game could pose.
Nor should we rule out that both players play and that Xavi invents a system that has a space for both, but the ideal would be for them to play in their position. At the moment Xavi will not be able to use Alves, so he will have to give Dest a chance, unless he ends up playing with Sergi Roberto or Mingueza, which would be a mistake, as has already been seen with Koeman.
As for Alves, perhaps he surprises us and shows that he is ready to offer several seasons at a high football level. We will see what happens from January.
