Dani Alves assured that he will only play for Pumas in the Liga MX: "I won't change it for another one."

Pumas struggles in Clausura 2022

Pumas is having a tough time in Clausura 2022, currently placed sixteenth with 14 points from 2 victories, eight defeats, and four draws. Fans are upset as the management reinforced the team with Dani Alves for this season.

The right-back has recorded four assists in 11 matches so far, but that has not saved him from criticism from a section of the 'Universitarios' fans. In this regard, rumors are circulating about a possible departure of the Brazilian player to another Mexican club.

However, the player denied those rumors and declared his loyalty to the auriazul team. "In Mexico, only at Pumas, I will not change it for another, if I leave here, it will not be to another (team in the Liga MX)", he stated in a press conference.

In the same line, the player expressed his commitment to overcome the bad streak with Pumas. "He who surrounds himself with failure is a failure. It is not frustrating, but it is a bit disappointing that people do not value the opportunity. It is a personal opinion. People look at the world from the outside, and no one cares about poverty. They only look at the lives of others. Energy is focused on the goal, and I want to win, I am obsessed with winning. It is not settling because I have never gone so long without winning. Hard work is for those who can do it because others just have opinions", he mentioned.

On the other hand, Dani Alves also referred to the criticisms he has received. "The truth is that it is part of the show, and I am in the box, in the stands. I cannot care about what people think of me. If my end has come. All that cannot be part of my life because ultimately what I have achieved is because I have focused on my work", he declared.

"Football is entertainment, and I don't know it, one cannot speak of what he doesn't know. From there, that's what remains, assuming things and talking. The problem today is that many people have the power to think and say whatever they want, but they forget that we have the power to listen to them or not. There is a world that believes, and one that does. I prefer to be the one who executes and who believes in what he does. I have confidence in myself. We are in a jungle, and we have to be the lion in our jungles", he added.
