My faith in Dani Alves is clear, insists Luis Enrique

My faith in Dani Alves is clear, insists Luis Enrique

After seeing Sergio Busquets sign a new long-term contract, the Barcelona boss has singled out the full-back for praise as speculation grows over his future
Luis Enrique says he has obvious faith in right-back Dani Alves but suggests no decision over his future will be made until the end of the season.
Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets put pen to paper on a new contract on Friday and Luis Enrique has now publicly singled out Alves for praise.
"Busquets' renewal is fantastic, he is one of the captains and it's big news for Barcelona. He is a unique professional," he told a press conference.
"Regarding Alves, you can see the confidence I have in him when I choose my line-ups. They are decisions for the people at the club to make at the end of the season.
"Dani is one of the nicest players in the locker room, with a winning character. I knew his professional side and I now know his human side, and he is a true example of what a player must be."
News emerged on Friday that prosecutors in Spain have requested Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu to be brought to trial over his involvement in the transfer of Neymar, but Luis Enrique maintains the squad are focused on football.
"We have to wait for the final judgement. We must just focus on the sporting side," he said.
Turning his attentions to the clash with Granada on Saturday, Luis Enrique made it clear he has confidence his side will bounce back from their shock loss to Malaga and praised the form of Luis Suarez.
"Sometimes you expect an easy game and vice versa. They (Granada) clearly need the points so they will try," he added.
"We are used to playing 95 per cent of matches with rivals playing in their part of the pitch, but we always find a solution.
"I think Luis Suarez has been very good throughout the season. We are happy with his performance, not only now he has scored twice more [against Manchester City]."
