“Cristiano Ronaldo advised me Cagliari and Sardinia,” Alves admitted. “Then Giulini and Rastelli convinced me.”
Newly-promoted Cagliari have taken seven points in their six League matches this season, with the defender admitting that preserving their Serie A status is the main priority.
“It’s a tactical League with a high level and high pressure. Any errors made should serve as a lesson.
“We have a young defence, our Scudetto is staying up without too many problems.”
