Alves band will strike the Nou Camp until 2015

Just on the day that Mr. Knight published an apology for the Brazilian side , appropriately considered a subgenre in itself, has solved the saga of renewal (or not) Dani Alves contract with FC Barcelona. After many months of intense give and take, having been cyclically at times when the positions seem closer and others that resembled that relations were close to breaking. The negotiations with Alves have been the most controversial cases have been found at Barça from Eto'o, Ibrahimovic nonsense, even harder to raise the renewal of Pep Guardiola , especially as regards the question of salaries.

Alves has maintained a strong negotiating position, combining all sorts of praise for players, coaches and fans (always avoiding it with the leaders in a meaningful way), with messages declaring to be willing to pack if not valued as requested. Without going any further, this weekend, after scoring a wonder goal against Getafe true , she jumped at the opportunity, being protagonist of the day, take the opportunity to send you, at the time, would be his last message: "If not finally finished off my continuity, give thanks for my years here and I'll go somewhere else. "

Alves' claims were not what they say modest. His current emoluments are below the third level of wages of the staff, which moves about 5 million, held by Valdés, Busquets, Pique and Puyol (presumably low to More on that order). His aim was to bypass the group to reach the second level, Xavi, Iniesta and Villa, who walk about 7 million. This ambition was nothing comfortable for Barca, the unfairness that might make you feel on other players and, above all, by the weakening would lead future negotiations to address internal.

After many meetings, contacts, messages recaditos, both dealers have had to give: Alves will settle for cash to stay in the third level of wages, but, in return, enjoy some extra income in endorsement deals with Adidas and Big Cola. In computing, it seems clear that the club has been the one that has had to strive to find ways to reach an agreement. A lack of power to know as far as the amount of these supplements, it is understood that Alves has had his way, it is assumed that the final charge more than they gain the players of the third welded.

What is not in doubt is that Alves is well worth the effort. As discussed in the video posted above the same Barca's sporting director, Andoni Zubizarreta, the Brazilian side "is unique in its position." Alves would lose a considerable effect on Guardiola's team, which lost a piece, but it seems secondary, is key to tactical Blaugrana. Alves is the Seventh Cavalry Blaugrana, the one who always appears at the right time to provide an exit, a new option attack. The depth of Alves, their ability to unbalance parties stuck to the sidelines, his contribution in attack coming in the second wave and his excellent understanding with Xavi and Messi are among the virtues that make a player Alves special, unique , says Zubi, and, therefore, the club would have been lame with any other boot that fit into the right side.

The Brazilian spring turns 28 next May, so it will contract with Barca until the age of 32, a fully acceptable age with a player who cares a lot more than what many people believe, and has a physical superlative, among other things, has secured a career that has had very few serious injuries. Anyway, great news for the many fans who wanted culés this soap opera end up this way.
