FC Barcelona star Dani Alves has spoken on his future at the club, its fall from grace in recent years, and the lead candidate for the Ballon d'Or in Real Madrid's Karim Benzema.
In an interview published on Saturday morning in Spain, Alves spoke on what had changed at Barca in the time between his 2016 exit and return in the recent January transfer window as a 38-year-old who has just turned 39.
Alves added: "For me what changed at Barca is that they got carried away by the tide.
"Football has been changing and the club mistakenly wanted to change and follow this tide. But if you have a solid base, you don't have to adapt to what comes up or [what becomes] fashion because then you will be vulnerable."
Alves insisted that Barca has a strong core of young players which they should build off, "because it is their strength".
"Football has been changing and started to buy and sell, and that is not Barca," Alves protested, insisting that the Blaugrana should rely on their youth and compliment them with experienced players to make a "more solid" squad.
