Nice interview with Dani Alves in the Guardian.
However, ol' Dan never seems to have played at the Emirates and has a truly bizarre understanding of the English football fan...
“When you become a supporter, you don’t support them when they win and then not when they don’t. What’s that? That’s no way to understand football. If I’m a fan, I’m a fan always. In England that’s the way. If they don’t win: ‘Next time!’. Not: ‘this lot are ****’. What? It’s easy to sit on your sofa and say: ‘he’s useless’. Go on, see if you can do the same.”
He has leetle beet the romantic view of the game, apart from contract negotiations of course
Indeed. Ours even slag the team off when we win.
In that sense at least they have the virtue of consistency.
Yet he uses his own success as a justification for the way he is
Nice piece though, I agree. He comes across as an honest, decent chap.
Odd that. What with him being a cheating foreigner and everything.
You have to admit the lad has a certain style though
Not to mention, trousers.
No, I think the best thing about him is he seems to be enjoying himself.
