Dani Alves has hit the headlines again following his 'Bola da Vez' interview for ESPN, making it clear that, for him, Messi is a much better player than Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Messi is much better than Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi influences the game, Cristiano doesn't. He doesn't influence the game beyond scoring goals and being involved in a few actions. Messi is influential - he plays, scores and makes assists. Messi has a divine gift, Cristiano is about work".
The Brazilian full-back, who had previously revealed Guardiola's interest in heading up the Brazilian national team, went on to criticise the Portuguese star's style of play, which he sees as being too individualistic. "I don't admire the things he does because I play as part of a team. And my team is more important than I am. I don’t think he sees what really matters, which is the group".
Finally, Alves revealed the reason behind the dispute that erupted during the season between Luis Enrique and Messi. "Of course there was an incident but it was about being competitive. Luis Enrique saw an action in a training session in one way and Messi in another. Messi is very competitive and his team lost, so the argument blew up. Even the best families have squabbles".
