Xavi: “Obviously I would bring back Dani Alves to Barcelona”

Xavi spok in an interview with Goal.com about everything current at Barcelona, he thinks that the club greatly miss Dani Alves and said he wouldn’t have to think twice before welcoming him back to the club.

“Alves decided to leave but for me he is the best right-back in the world at the moment. Barça miss him a lot”

“But it’s difficult because Barcelona have practically the best players in the world and it’s difficult to get in the team (up front)”

“From the first time Messi came up to the first team, I could see that he was different”

“He is a player who can dribble with ease, who sees the game in front of him, who can take on players easily”

“He also has great personality, guts, and a great shot. Leo has mastered all aspects of the game and mastered them to perfection, we are talking about the best footballer in history”

“I think Messi already started out as an extraordinary player, although he has improved and right now he is of course the best we can see in the entire world. I would go as far as to say he is the best in history”

“Now i have seen that i like to be close to the pitch, the grass, to smell it, Cruyff told me this once in a chat”

“He told me:’To play is the best, but later you’ll be a coach’ I told him that i didn’t see it, because i was playing and competing”

“Dybala would fit in perfectly at Barcelona if you look at the players there”

“He has a lot of talent and is capable of playing for any big team”

“He is a natural who plays at a high level and is still young. He is ready to play for Barcelona”

On Marco Verratti, he said: “He would be ideal for Barça, Obviously Rakitic is doing incredible work, really good. I think he has adapted well to Barcelona’s football”

“But yes, Verratti has the ability to play at Barcelona, no adoubt. And i think he has a lot of the qualities that i have as a player”
