New Juventus signing Dani Alves is not
normally known for stunning bicycle kicks.
But in his latest eccentric Instagram
offering the former Barcelona man has sought to change all that, revealing a
previously untapped talent and his new boss Massimiliano Allegri should
probably take note.
The Brazilian full back has unveiled a
party trick to match all others by taking the pinnacle of footballing technique
into the treacherous world of removing a beer bottle cap.
Whilst some use table tops, others
endanger their dentures and more sensible types use the humble bottle opener,
Alves has shown that the bicycle kick is, er, equally adept at opening a
beverage.
With a friend holding the bottle out
in front of him, Alves, wearing only some questionable white shorts, proceeds
to attempt a bicycle kick, sending his favoured right boot flying into the
bottle, sending the cap - and the shaken booze -flying.
Clearly delighted with his bizarre
feat, Alves cries out in euphoria, and then, with difficulty, tries to consume
the frothy remnants of what was left in the bottle.
Alves is notorious for his strong
social media presence, and his peculiar post is only the latest addition to a
catalogue of somewhat unique instagram posts, having previously posted videos
of himself singing ecstatically, pranking his girlfriend, and even dressing up
as her.
The Brazilian is currently enjoying
his holidays after representing his country at last month's Copa America.
That tournament ended in huge
disappointment as the Selecao crashed out in the group stage following a defeat
to Peru via Raul Riudiaz's 'hand of God' goal.
Right back Alves underwent a medical
in Turin on Monday ahead of his move to Juventus.
It now appears Alves has now put that
disappointment well behind him, expressing his current happiness in life with a
quote alongside his unusual Instagram post.
'Always enjoying every moment as if
there was no tomorrow! Tomorrow is today, then tomorrow is also today strongly
.... Long live the power of now without doing harm to others , that's my vibe
and that my power ! #goodcrazyhorse # goodcrazysummer #alwayssmile
#alwayshappy', read the caption.
Alves recently joined Italian
champions Juventus after spending eight highly successful years with FC
Barcelona.
The former Sevilla defender moved to
Turin on a free transfer, after allowing his contract to run down with the
Spanish champions so that he could seek a fresh start elsewhere.
During his time in Catalonia, Alves
collected a staggering 23 trophies, including three Champions League titles and
six domestic league triumphs.
