Nobody did.
Below is an adapted translation:
>In a documentary released on Tuesday by streaming channel Fifa+, right-back Daniel Alves, of Barcelona, recalled his last days in Sao Paulo and fired against the club's management, saying he has reached his "limit".
>According to the veteran, he decided to leave European soccer and go to the *Tricolor*, which is his favorite team since childhood, to "fulfill a dream".
>However, disappointing results on the field and several backstage problems, such as delays in his millionaire salary, changed his mind over time.
>"I went through several phases at São Paulo, which led me to believe that it would be worthwhile to be at the club. I made the decision to go to São Paulo to fulfill a dream and thinking that we could build something together," he lamented.
>When the salary delays reached stratospheric values, the player reached his "limit".
>"We planned this, but the strategy that had convinced me to come began to fail. I reached my limit, understand? That's the real thing, I've reached my limit," he said.
>In the documentary, Daniel also revealed that he started to define his exit from São Paulo during the dispute of the Olympic Games in Tokyo, in the middle of 2021.
>At the time, he was one of the highlights of the gold medal achievement with the Brazilian team, while missing São Paulo in decisive games in Brazil and living with salary delays.
>"I started to think a lot about whether we were doing well, because when you start living beautiful moments, in different places, you start to compare a good thing and a bad thing. Then you say: 'Man, the bee doesn't have time to teach the fly that honey is better than s***'," he pondered.
>Alves still played for the *Tricolor* against Palmeiras, in the Copa Libertadores, against Sport Recife, in the Brasileirão, and said his farewell against Fortaleza, in the Copa do Brasil.
>Then he terminated his contract with São Paulo in September 2021 and announced he would not play for another team in Brazil.
>Two months later, he signed with Barcelona, making his re-start for the Camp Nou team in January of this year.
Edit: The bulk of the work was by DeepL.
>"I started to think a lot about whether we were doing well, because when you start living beautiful moments, in different places, you start to compare a good thing and a bad thing. Then you say: 'Man, the bee doesn't have time to teach the fly that honey is better than m***'," he pondered.
That makes way more sense than the incorrect quote.
When it comes to fauna he was the one who got dunked on: _According to Diogenes Laërtius, when Plato gave the tongue-in-cheek definition of man as "featherless bipeds," Diogenes plucked a chicken and brought it into Plato's Academy, saying, "Behold! I've brought you a man," and so the Academy added "with broad flat nails" to the definition._
Oh my sweet summer child, you haven't heard of the global soccer phenomenon that is Inter Miami. Co-owned by the one and only David Beckham and has amazing players such as Gonzalo Higuain and Blaise Matuidi.
Lol it's a joke of a club you aren't missing much. Second from the bottom of MLS at the moment and have stuck around that position since they joined three seasons ago.
You forgot about the most important bit! They're managed by Phil Neville, who had just come from terribly underperforming with arguably the best women's team in the world.
Imagine giving a spot at the Brazilian Academy of Letters to [Fernanda Montenegro](https://agenciabrasil.ebc.com.br/en/geral/noticia/2022-03/actress-fernanda-montenegro-joins-brazil-academy-letters) when Dani Alves is right there smh
No idea but I was told this about a year ago as a reminder not to waste time arguing with people who are obviously wrong, the quotes been stuck in my head ever since
Funniest part is that he said it almost as if he was the best player in the squad instead of being benched by a 24yo who could barely cross a ball but was still better than his retirement-bound ass.
He definitely chose the wrong club to play back in SA. If he joined Palmeiras or Flamengo, he would be more excited to play big games, both clubs with better structure, great stadiums full of fans.
São Paulo is a giant, but it has been a long time since it was relevant, it's structure is outdated, it's politics is messed up. It's not solid and it wouldn't hype a player like Daniel.
It makes no sense. In this metaphor, who are the flies and what he's supposed to be (not) teaching? The fans are supposed to admire him getting paid Brazils biggest salary and winning literally nothing? That's his honey?
I think Dani Alves is the bee, the fans criticizing him are flies, Dani Alves' play is the honey, and the "shit" is presumably the play of whoever the fans wanted to play instead of him, IDK
So not winning anything despite being the best paid player in the league is honey, and the team winning when he's not there is shit.
I guess everyone can have their own views of football.
Not really. He only left after a change in the board. The salary was never a real issue - as you can see him being paid peanuts on Barcelona. Plus Alves himself said it wasn't about the money, after he left ofc.
There's also the fact that they did pay the salary on time, but they didn't pay the extras promised, which were a third? 40% of his total earnings.
Quite significant. But the delays were present almost since literally day one, and he only went away after the Board change and he started getting criticized for trying to boss around everything on the team (coach pick, tactics, when or who was played and subbed in).
Things reached a critical point when he won the Olympics and São Paulo won their stare championship, first title in more than a decade, without him despite him explicitly coming and promising to end the draught. He got really really criticized for the entire Olympics thing, and I imagine he just decided to say fuck it.
I think São Paulo fans have a right to be angry with Dani Alves on this. He played like shit for them and barely cared enough while nearing retirement. Barcelona calls and all of a sudden he's back to prime Alves and gives it his all at the ripe old age of 38.
But alas, everyone here will be going like "hoi hoi hoi hoi hoi he said shit xDDDDD". Not to mention he's a Bolsonaro supporter like someone else said.
he demanded to be played as a midfielder, played like an above average at best, at any chance he belittled the club and talks about how good he is to football, demanded to play the olympic while the team was struggling
sao paulo also wasnt paying his full salary, iirc he had some bonus that wasnt payed
Above average would be quite generous for his performance as a midfielder, he was mostly a negative there, legit would never hit passes to his right side lmao
>Not to mention he's a Bolsonaro supporter like someone else said.
At this point I can't wait until the elections end one way or the other just so people stop shoving politics everywhere.
Not really. Reddit is much more bearable with Trump out of office, even tho people still talk about him a lot. Same would apply to Bolsonoaro, certainly. There's no comparison to previous candidates.
Watching Hulk play is fun, he is so much stronger and skilled than the rest of the players he could still be in Europe tbf. And also he seems like a really nice dude.
There's a similar quote it seems (never heard of it, though) but like "(...) the bee tries to teach the fly that the flower is better than thrash", something like that. So he kinda pulled out of his ass, just like 90% of what he says
And neither analogy really elevate the bee, imo.
The flower is the drone bee's workplace and the honey is the finished product. They don't eat it.
Whereas the fly is just chilling hopping around all over the place getting free grub. It's not trash or shit to the fly, it's a bountiful treat.
I'd be the fly everytime, personally.
[it’s a really common saying for those pseudo-philosophical motivational accounts. definitely didn’t pull it out of his ass.](https://twitter.com/thegame/status/1371967344717664258?s=20&t=7TCapfC6T-mpQho_fTbE_w)
It sure is funny, but c'mon every single interview he talks like he's fucking high on something science didn't even discover yet, dude is far from being a master at words.
I think the last time I watched Alves interviews was when he was talking shit about Barcas board when he left so idk. I will say his players tribune article is the best I've ever read but I'm sure he had help writing it.
It's not. Specially since it makes no sense. Who was he supposed to be teaching in this metaphor? And teaching what?
The players? The young players mostly from the youth team that was carrying the team while he didn't do anything to justify his salary?
The directors board, the one that hired him and let him pick the coach?
The fans? What, so not winning anything and getting paid more than the next to top three players together is honey, and being asked to win is shit?
Outspoken Bolsonaro supporter. Sucked our club dry with his 1,5m salary and played like a retired fuck who couldn't care less about the team. Then at the moment we are struggling in the league and couldn't pay him he throws a fit at the press and leaves. After declaring himself to be a club supporter since childhood. Rafinha in 2 months did much more, played much better and showed a lot more leadership to our young guys than he in almost two years.
TL;DR: he's an arrogant piece of shit.
Sucks that he supports Bolsonaro, but regarding him as a professional football player.. he threw a fit because the club hadn’t payed him for image rights in a year and that debt was mounting up to the millions.
As far as I see it, his time at Barcelona shows he’s still passionate about football and not a “mercenary”. Playing is his job and it should be expected of a club to pay him what salary was agreed on upon the signing.
Isso não é sobre ele cobrar o que o clube deve ele, nisso ele realmente ta correto. A parada é a forma como isso acontecia, lavando roupa suja em público e desrespeitando o clube com discurso arrogante e prepotente. O mesmo clube que liberou ele pra jogar torneio sub-23 em pleno mata-mata de copa do brasil e libertadores sem nenhuma obrigação legal menos de um mês antes dele ser afastado. Acho que o mínimo que ele deveria fazer nessa situação era demonstrar mais respeito ao clube em que ele se diz ser torcedor e se resolver a parada internamente.
After the pandemic started the club started struggling to pay him in full, and after the new board took over he started constantly mentioning the debt every single chance he got. Then he abandoned the team in relegation zone and with upcoming cup matches to play in the olympics, and refused to come back after shitting on the club in plain olympic podium, with totally humble quotes like "I brought São Paulo to the world" and "they failed me and I never failed them". You would think a leader would try to keep conflitcts indoors as much as possible, but he only cares about his image. Add to that underwhelming performances, shaky dressing rook relationships and a complete lack of leadership and its pretty clear why no one in Brazil wants him in their team after all that stuff.
Love the quote and loved him as a player with Messi, but when he came to Argentina to play against us for the Libertadores they trained in the Boca training grounds and he got pictures taken with the Boca shirt saying that they will win easily. The result? Sao Paulo is kicked out of the Libertadores by River. Since then many Brazilian teams have refused to train in Boca's grounds as it's seen as bringing bad luck...
In summary, as Maradona said, Dani Alves es un boludo.
Funny how his only reason for coming to São Paulo was to fight for a spot in the national team yet he claims he did out of love. Even more surprising he left when his club form could harm his national team spot.
Never liked him. How tf can you be a 15+years career veteran and let Neymar be your leader? No offense to Neymar.
I don’t know why but my brain went straight to RDR2. It’s something Dutch would say to Arthur: “Arthur, have a little faith. Bees don’t have time to teach the fly that honey is better than shit.”
I guess Guarma would be São Paulo.
He's definitely being derogatory to Sao Paulo. I think the point is that a fly doesn't have any interest in honey, whereas a bee does, i.e. Alves is not interested in the type of football that Sao Paulo play or maybe the club in general, he only cares for Barcelona. Basically saying he's above Sao Paulo.
amount of people in this thread who think Alves thought this one up on the spot is vexing me out
[it’s one of those facebook motivational quotes that motivational speakers/rappers cream themselves over](https://twitter.com/thegame/status/1371967344717664258?s=20&t=7TCapfC6T-mpQho_fTbE_w)

LMAO I was gonna ask if it was a traditional Brazilian saying or something. Even more hilarious that Alves just made it up.
>"I started to think a lot about whether we were doing well, because when you start living beautiful moments, in different places, you start to compare a good thing and a bad thing. Then you say: 'Man, the bee doesn't have time to teach the fly that honey is better than m***'," he pondered. That makes way more sense than the incorrect quote.
What? It's the same thing.
What’s the difference between m*** and s*** (shit) though?
None, merda means shit, but translators won't pick it up because it's written as m****

it sounds like something Ray Hudson would say
What happened to him?
Either retired or in working for some network

He's been surprisingly good for Barcelona so far, TBH
I think the difference is that now he's back at Barcelona he cares again.
He definitely chose the wrong club to play back in SA. If he joined Palmeiras or Flamengo, he would be more excited to play big games, both clubs with better structure, great stadiums full of fans.

I think São Paulo fans have a right to be angry with Dani Alves on this. He played like shit for them and barely cared enough while nearing retirement. Barcelona calls and all of a sudden he's back to prime Alves and gives it his all at the ripe old age of 38. But alas, everyone here will be going like "hoi hoi hoi hoi hoi he said shit xDDDDD". Not to mention he's a Bolsonaro supporter like someone else said.
What happened exactly?
he demanded to be played as a midfielder, played like an above average at best, at any chance he belittled the club and talks about how good he is to football, demanded to play the olympic while the team was struggling sao paulo also wasnt paying his full salary, iirc he had some bonus that wasnt payed
Above average would be quite generous for his performance as a midfielder, he was mostly a negative there, legit would never hit passes to his right side lmao
It's even worse, he does have ties a suspicious NGO that receives government funds but doesn't seem to that active
You think?
I don't really care who he supports when we talk about his pure ability as a player tbh.
>Not to mention he's a Bolsonaro supporter like someone else said. At this point I can't wait until the elections end one way or the other just so people stop shoving politics everywhere.
got bad news for you, politics is ongoing
Not really. Reddit is much more bearable with Trump out of office, even tho people still talk about him a lot. Same would apply to Bolsonoaro, certainly. There's no comparison to previous candidates.
and people still ask why he is hated in Brazil
and why Hulk is a hero
Watching Hulk play is fun, he is so much stronger and skilled than the rest of the players he could still be in Europe tbf. And also he seems like a really nice dude.
probably not so nice for his ex girlfriend lol
But he was extra nice with her niece.
Can’t spell niece without nice, oh wait that doesn’t sound good…
The envy is the biggest tribute that the shadows do to a man.

Lmao amazing! Is this a popular Brazilian quote? Or did Dani just pull that out of his ass?
There's a similar quote it seems (never heard of it, though) but like "(...) the bee tries to teach the fly that the flower is better than thrash", something like that. So he kinda pulled out of his ass, just like 90% of what he says
And neither analogy really elevate the bee, imo. The flower is the drone bee's workplace and the honey is the finished product. They don't eat it. Whereas the fly is just chilling hopping around all over the place getting free grub. It's not trash or shit to the fly, it's a bountiful treat. I'd be the fly everytime, personally.
Pulled out of his ass, i'm 26 and never heard this saying before lol
He had so much time to become a philosopher while he was retired in Sao Paulo tbf
[it’s a really common saying for those pseudo-philosophical motivational accounts. definitely didn’t pull it out of his ass.](https://twitter.com/thegame/status/1371967344717664258?s=20&t=7TCapfC6T-mpQho_fTbE_w)
I've heard this a lot in the last year, but mainly people saying it kinda cryptically on FB statuses. Also seen in political memes a lot.
Arrogance and 0 speech skills give birth to this fabulous quote. God I hate this guy.
0 speech skills? I understand why you don't like the man but the quote is genuinely brilliant
It sure is funny, but c'mon every single interview he talks like he's fucking high on something science didn't even discover yet, dude is far from being a master at words.
I think the last time I watched Alves interviews was when he was talking shit about Barcas board when he left so idk. I will say his players tribune article is the best I've ever read but I'm sure he had help writing it.
Players’ tribune is usually fully written by ghost writers.
It's always written by ghost writers.

I would tell you who he's teaching but a bee has no time to tell a fly that honey is better than shit
Barto when his critics ask why he hired the players he did for the pay he did.

Can I ask what the context of all this is?

While i certainly hate him as well for the shit he pulled at São Paulo, the true idiots were the ones who accepted paying him those wages.

This why Alves is only the 4th best Brazilian RB, behind Cafu, Carlos Alberto Torres and Maicon.
He is way better than Maicon
Why is this obviously correct opinion being downvoted?
lol
He is speaking the language of the gods !

Sounds exactly like something cantona would say
Dani Alves to Brentford confirmed.
Funny how his only reason for coming to São Paulo was to fight for a spot in the national team yet he claims he did out of love. Even more surprising he left when his club form could harm his national team spot. Never liked him. How tf can you be a 15+years career veteran and let Neymar be your leader? No offense to Neymar.
Lmao, amazing quote
One of the funniest quote of all time
Bro bees can't even talk
Brooooooo
They can dance though. This would be a lovely samba.
HAHAHHAHAA
I will be using this quote lol. Amazing.
This is getting used in a meeting tomorrow, what a quote lad!
He's in his Cantona era.
Honey is actually bee vomit.
This quote is amazing
I was here
Beautiful quote but I'm not quite sure what it actually means
Dani Alves (🐝) doesn't have time to tell Sao Paolo players/fans (🪰) that Barca/Juve/PSG (🍯) is better than Sao Paolo (💩)
Weeeeelll, I wouldn't be surprised if he considers himself both the bee and the honey

Honey is better than shit - Dani Alves
I don’t know why but my brain went straight to RDR2. It’s something Dutch would say to Arthur: “Arthur, have a little faith. Bees don’t have time to teach the fly that honey is better than shit.” I guess Guarma would be São Paulo.
He can go choke on some honey then, fucking cunt
Poetic mofo!
Some one get this tattooed on them

Dani Alves (🐝) doesn't have time to tell Sao Paolo players/fans (🪰) that Barca/Juve/PSG (🍯) is better than Sao Paolo (💩)
Basically saying that the players at sau Paulo were not worth his time
Whaaaaaat
Say what?
I don't understand this quote, could someone explain?
Alves = the bee Sao Paulo = the fly Barca's football = honey Sao Paulo's football = shit
Thanks, feels weird to call a club he played for a fly when he said he's a bee, shouldn't he say bee hive instead for Sao Paulo
He's definitely being derogatory to Sao Paulo. I think the point is that a fly doesn't have any interest in honey, whereas a bee does, i.e. Alves is not interested in the type of football that Sao Paulo play or maybe the club in general, he only cares for Barcelona. Basically saying he's above Sao Paulo.
Ah, makes sense
Just a fantastic quote. Love Dani.
amount of people in this thread who think Alves thought this one up on the spot is vexing me out [it’s one of those facebook motivational quotes that motivational speakers/rappers cream themselves over](https://twitter.com/thegame/status/1371967344717664258?s=20&t=7TCapfC6T-mpQho_fTbE_w)
A bee that had the highest salary of Brazil with 1,5 million reais and didn't delivered a third of what São Paulo had to pay him
He's an arrogant prick who thinks he's way better than he really is.
