Notes Dani Alves: A Defensive Liability?
Dani Alves - not the man for the job?Came across this blog recently proposing the argument that Dani Alves is not suited to be the starting full-back for the Selecao. Based off his recent performances it’s hard to argue with this assertion. What he, and other pundits, argue is that Alves has coverage for his shaky defensive play at Barcelona. Meanwhile, when playing for the Selecao, that cover is non existent and therefore he is exposed on way more occasions. What do you guys think?
