Barcelona’s Brazilan full back, Daniel Alves, speaks to the press about Barcelona’s supremacy
The Brazilian full back, Daniel Alves, was involved in the game against Real Betis that was played at the Nou Camp.
The Copa Del Rey quarter final was supposed to be a thriller, especially with Betis being the opponents of the Spanish Champions.
Despite the fact that Betis are currently in the second division, they are a tough side and they did prove to be a hard nut to track for the Catalan strikers during the first half.
However, the game ended as a five goals haul for Barcelona. The Catalan giants totally thrashed the hopes of Real Betis in the first leg of the Copa Del Rey quarterfinal.
Josep Guardiola played his strongest men against a strong-looking Betis side.
In the first half, the Spanish Champions found it hard to score but still left the field with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 finding the net.
With the players returning in the second half, it was totally one-way traffic as the La Blaugrana decided to win the game in style and scored five past their opponents.
With a five goal deficit, the Spanish Champions are definitely going to feel relieved during the second leg and there is definitely going to be an option for Josep Guardiola to rest a few players.
Daniel Alves was very happy after winning the game, 5-0.
It is true that the Brazilian did not perform at his best during the Copa Del Rey quarter final.
However, he did have a few things to say after the game.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Alves said that after winning the game with such a huge margin, the team has already booked a place into the semifinals and he does not expect his side to slip while being away from home.
Even though http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 has a strong lead before going into the away leg, the Brazilian full back insisted that the opponents deserve respect and that is the reason why the Spanish Champions will play away from home just like they played at home.
The Brazilian further added to his conversation by speaking about Lionel Messi who simply had an extraordinary night. The Argentinean striker won the Ballon d’Or a night before and there were many critical remarks flying about him in the media.
The Brazilian spoke highly of Barcelona’s number 10.
He said that Lionel Messi is a player who is above everyone. He said that “Leo” is different from every player in the world. He also gave a “shut up call” to all the critics who did not really like the fact that Messi won the award.
Daniel Alves said, "I think that he ended any debate with his display in the game".
Lionel Messi scored a hat trick against Real Betis. However, on any other night he could have scored six goals.
The Argentinean striker was in a one-on-one situation approximately six to seven times and he could easily find the back of the net on any other day.
However, a hat trick was enough to give his team enough confidence boost to score five past Betis.
Barcelona is now going to join Real Betis in their home ground for the away leg of the quarter final.
