Dani Alves: Barca on their way back to the top

The Brazil international has hailed Luis Enrique's good work at Camp Nou so far and was delighted with the win over APOEL.
Dani Alves believes Barcelona are on their way back to the top under Luis Enrique following their 1-0 Champions League win over APOEL on Wednesday.

A single Gerard Pique goal was enough to help the Primera Division side to the full three points at Camp Nou and Alves was happy with their general performance.

"Luis Enrique has really got us on track, back towards the top. He has everybody giving 100 per cent," the right back told the official Barcelona website.

“We're really happy to get the win and start off in a positive fashion. It was also nice to get a clean sheet. Defensively, I thought we improved a lot and kept up the pressure.

“In attack, we tried as hard as we could, but we couldn't really put the ball in the net."  

The defender went on to defend Luis Enrique's decision to rest a number of first-team regulars.

"I think it is really nice to get playing time for everybody, which will end up being really important," he added.
