In recent days there has been speculation about the return of the Brazilian footballer to the Barça team, where he was part of the club’s golden age during his stay between 2008 and 2016.
Daniel Alves ended his tie with Sao Paulo in September and, at 38, does not seem to be hanging up on his boots. In fact, he himself has been in charge of offering himself to FC Barcelona in case of wanting to have him again. We see reasons why to believe that it may be a good option and others why not:
NOSTALGIA
The Barcelona team is in a difficult time and, as in so many areas of life when this happens, it is difficult not to fall into nostalgia for when times were better. The Brazilian is part of the golden generation that conquered everything possible and that nostalgia factor can generate the illusion that is needed at this time.
MENTOR
The long career of Daniel Alves, being the footballer with the most titles (43) in all history, allows him to be a voice of authority within any dressing room. The respect that all the players have for him could be interesting to advise a very promising batch of young people who may have as a figure in which to reflect on the side.
LOCKER ROOM
In a delicate moment it is important to have that figure that overflows with joy and manages to generate a positive atmosphere. In this, the Brazilian is an expert. In addition, he also demonstrated knowing how to deal with adverse situations in transitional seasons. It can be interesting if you are really willing to accept a low salary.
PROJECTION
Daniel Alves’ best moment is over, he was probably one of the best right-backs in football history at his peak performance. However, the right-handed lane project at the moment is Sergiño Dest and it doesn’t make much sense to take minutes away from him when he is fully maturing.
MONEY
It is true that the player himself has assured that remuneration would not be a problem, but seeing how excessively delicate the club’s economy is, every euro counts and it is clear that there are other priorities to strengthen. If you really want to be in the shortlist for Erling Haaland this summer, you cannot do this type of operation.
PRESENT
The Barça team is missing something to compete for the Champions League, as evidenced by falling dramatically (1-4) in the first leg of the round of 16 against Paris Saint Germain and in previous years. He has been very weak defensively and the Brazilian is pure offensive projection. It could further aggravate that lack against clubs that have players enough to set up very vertical counterattacks.
