His farewell at the Gamper
“In the end, life treats people who treat life well, it gives me the right to come and play with Pumas and play at the Camp Nou to say goodbye. They took me out through the back door the penultimate time, this time it wasn’t through the back because my contract ended, what happened? Nothing, ciao. I didn’t expect much more, after all, I signed for six months and fulfilled them. They were able to tell me earlier, because in the last game against Villarreal I could have said goodbye to people, that’s why life gives me this, let Pumas be the one who is going to come to the Camp Nou and will have the opportunity to say goodbye to people as I would have liked” Alves commented regarding the possibility of playing again in the Barça field.
The level of Liga MX
“I think that in Mexico you have to try to believe a little more in their football. Those who, due to ignorance, discredit Liga MX, do it wrongly. There are very good goalkeepers, we face them in Olympic GamesThey treat the ball well. when we went to club world cup With Barça, the Mexicans were the only ones who wanted to face us.”
Why the Cougars?
“What attracted me to Pumas is that it is much more than football” The club belongs to the best university in Mexico, which drives the player “crazy”.
He also wanted to thank the interest of León.
about his age
“I understand that people always talk about my age, but they don’t know me, my desire and my soul are young and my discipline is great”
