Recently elected "Barca" president Joan Laporta together with the new coach Xavi are starting a new era at the Catalan club. With the new coach Xavi, there will be different expectations at the club, and it may be that other club legends will join in to assist the former team. Laporta was asked about the possible participation of D. Alves and C. Puyol in the club's activities. "Dani Alves helps the club in many ways - he also offered us help in sporting aspects. We have a direct relationship with Puyol. They can help if Xavi needs them," Laporta replied. D. Alves has not officially ended his career at the moment, but he is currently a free agent and is not rushing to accept offers from other clubs.
