Messi Knows He Was Born To Be A Barcelona Player – Dani Alves

Barcelona legend, Dani Alves has come out to urge Lionel Messi not to leave Barcelona. He recently revealed that Messi’s exit will be a move he’ll regret in the end.

According to him, he has always told Messi that he was born to be a Barcelona player, and Barcelona were born to be his club, and that fact will never change.

He added that Messi has always given him top advice whenever he needs it, so it is time to repay the favor.

His words, “I have said to Messi several times: he was born to be a Barcelona player and Barcelona were born to be his club.”

“He has given me advice before so I can do the same to him. Once he told me to stay in Barcelona because there wasn’t any place that was better. ‘Where will you be happier?’ he asked me. So I stayed.”

“Now I have reminded him of that conversation and that a good friend (him) advised me that Barcelona is the best place ever. I haven’t had an answer from him yet but when you leave Barcelona you realise how good it is. All the players, and I mean everyone, who has left Barcelona have been sorry. All of them regret leaving, irrespective of the reason.”

“When I left the club, I just wanted to show my value to get back. But, unfortunately, the same people who were against me when I was at the club stayed there. I showed that I was able to play for Barcelona for another 10 years. I tried to go back to Barcelona. I wanted to go back to Barcelona. I played to go back to Barcelona, but they didn’t want me anymore.”

On the World Cup, “The World Cup is a dream that I won’t give up.”

“I will fight to keep myself at a high level and to have this last experience with my national squad. This is my challenge.”

“It’s no use just dreaming. I will compete. Now it’s time to work and to build. What motivates me are competition and my dreams. As long as I am alive I will fight for my dreams.”
