Player Of The Week (January 10-19)
Posted by Anonymous
It was a relatively easy decision for us this "week". There were very few players who stood out in their repective games. Having said that, Dani Alves' performances were brilliant. He had three assists in the three games Barcelona played in the span of nine games and he was arguably their most influential player.
At first glance, Alves is the typical Brazillian right back. His rocket freekicks and rampaging runs reminding me of Roberto Carlos. What Carlos lacked in the defensive part of his game, Alves doesn't. He is just as reliable on both ends of the field, providing important tackles and seeing eye crosses like his ball to Henry in the Depor game.
