“I think he's an important element of the team and a really great player,” Alves said of Pogba. “I expect to play alongside him, which is going to be a great honour.
“There are other incredible players in this team as well, who also have a lot to say for themselves. I'm truly delighted to share this experience with them.
“A team is formed up of individuals, and it's when they come together that you can achieve results. We are all going to be important, and sharing this year with them is going to be a privilege.
“We must approach things with a sense of fun alongside that of responsibility and level-headedness. After all, that's what we're here for, and you need that in order to reach your objectives.
“Dybala? I'm certainly here to lend him and everybody else a hand. If I can get him and everyone to score many goals, that'll be my pleasure. I'll do everything I can to make that happen.
“Strikers are happy only when they manage to score, while I'm happier when I can bring others to do that. So it's going to be a perfect pairing!
“We know the Champions League is a tough objective and so is the tournament. We'll have to work hard, and we most certainly will.
“We'll make sure this team can make history again, as it's been too long. I'll do my best, I've come here to do what I can according to my qualities and my characteristics. I want to make the fans happy and give them the great joy of the Champions League.”
Dani Alves needs to win four titles in order to match Ryan Giggs' record with Manchester United, who currently holds the greatest number of trophies.
“I honestly don't think about these things. I'm here to live day by day and I don't want the obsession of such a heavy historical record. It's not important to try and break these figures.
“Javier Mascherano? I have a great relationship with him and playing with him again would be an honour, but it's not down to me.”
