Alves:

Barcelona defender Dani Alves assured in a press conference that "we don't have to worry about Messi", as he thinks that the Argentine's injury is of no great importance and hopes he can "get better as soon as possible".

The Brazilian also talked about Neymar being a substitute in the last few matches. He assured that his fellow countryman "is happy, and integrated into the group. He´ll rise to the occasion little by little."

"I think that one of Barcelona's characteristics is that nobody is a sure starter, just players that work hard. There are games enough for everyone and we have to be positive about it. Neymar is ready to play for Barcelona. When he is happy, his performance improves", he affirmed.

Finally, Alves showed himself to be particularly happy with the progress of his great friend Eric Abidal, now playing for Monaco. His ex-teammate has got off to a great start in his new club, and Alves believes that "if you fight for something, you can achieve it. I have feelings of great admiration for him. I´m really happy that he is playing because he worked so hard to get there", he said.
