Alves on Mourinho: "He took his time to say sorry"

Barcelona’s Dani Alves has wasted no time in reacting to José Mourinho’s apology for his actions during his infamous touchline clash with Tito Vilanova.

“He took his time to say sorry. I think he showed the right attitude, but I wouldn’t have waited so long”, the Brazilian told the club’s official media.

The ‘azulgrana’ full-back refused to be drawn on what the relationship would be like between La Liga’s big two in the upcoming season.

“We always hope to keep a lid on things and try to focus on doing our job. But there are some things that are outside our control”, he said.
