The Brazilian full-back recently said that he is eager to start the new season as the team is now competitive and wants to get back to winning ways.
Last season Barcelona did not only lose the Spanish La Liga and the Champions League; in fact, they also lost their first-choice coach, Josep Guardiola.
The Catalan coach, who fired Barcelona to 14 trophies in only three seasons, was unable to continue his winning ways last season and hence he opted to move away from the club.
However, his assistant coach, Tito Vilanova, was given the opportunity to showcase his talent as a manager and now Vilanova is going to be the first-choice manager for Barcelona.
As soon as Vilanova joined Barcelona, he told the management that he will be signing at least two defensive players and the first one of them became the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111.
Alba is a left full-back and he was able to surprise the footballing audiences all over the world throughout the Euro 2012.
However, the Catalan giants are still pondering over a second defensive signing and rumours suggest that La Blaugrana are going to sign the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-Song-c4804, during this summer transfer window.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Alves suggests that the current Barcelona players are hungry to win silverware in the upcoming season.
The Catalan giants were unable to win much last season and they had to settle for trophies such as FIFA Club World Cup and the Copa del Rey and Alves believes that is still an honour for them.
While speaking about the upcoming season, Alves said that he is eager to start and stated:
“I’m as eager as ever. If we lost the last Liga title it’s because we weren’t as good as the team that finished first. There are no excuses in this club, we have to improve.
“It’s all the same to me if we’re defending a title or trying to win it. I’m comfortable knowing that the team is competitive, that we have the capacity to fight for all of the titles.”
