Alves Denies Knowledge Of Brazil Squad Party

Sevilla stopper Daniel Alves knows nothing of the alleged party attended by the likes of Robinho in the aftermath of Brazil's win over Ecuador midweek...

Sevilla defender Daniel Alves refused to be drawn on the issue of the Brazilian party that saw Robinho arrive back in Madrid late for club duty with Real.

"I don't know anything about it," he growled to the press.

The want-away defender, however, went on to add that he had scant knowledge of a World Cup qualifying after-party.

"I have only just heard about the fiesta, but I had nothing to celebrate since I didn't play," he shrugged.

Indeed, Daniel sat on the bench for the duration of that 5-0 win over Ecuador, just as he did a few days prior as Brazil limped to a 0-0 draw in Bogota against Colombia.

With his international break proving anything but strenuous, then, Alves feels fit and ready to visit Levante with the Andalucians on Saturday night.

"I'm expecting to reach the level necessary to play against the levantinistas," he said.

Alves, 24, was expected to join Chelsea or Real Madrid this summer, but the Seville side opted instead to hold on to their star asset, who has yet to really find form this season.
