The Brazilian wants his team-mate playing between now and the end of the season

Dani Alves is very competitive. And he wants the best players on the pitch with him. He spoke to Vamos to say that the club should use Ousmane Dembele in what’s left of the season.

“We have to be more intelligent than the situation and take advantage of the player we have with us,” said the Brazilian.

“This type of thing happens in football, while he is still at Barcelona he has to defend the shirt. If he goes at the end of the season, then ok. One has to be smarter than the situation. You have to think about the situation and take advantage of the fact we have the player. We need union in the dressing room. We have to create a healthy environment, in which there is no bad vibe.

“If everyone brings that, Barcelona will return. That is everyone’s objective.”

On the Europa League snub, he added: “The coach knows what I think. I always try to bring the best I can. We are employees. The club decides. I came to help, to add things, some competition and winning spirit. If helping means I am out (of the list), then that’s fine by me. They are parts of life you have to accept. I would have liked to be in, but unfortunately we were four players for three places. I won’t get bad vibes. I will keep trying to help.”
