To be honest, I thought it would be easier.
I’m even a little bit anxious,
I have butterflies in my stomach, because everything starts from scratch.
It’s as if it was my first time.
One thing is to do what I did,
alongside my teammates overseas, another one is to come back to Brazil
with very high expectations.
I just hope to be on a par with that.
I look like an expensive player, damn!
24 hours earlier
A film has been playing in my mind,
because I dreamed about it back in the day
when I was a child with my cousin,
if one day I could play for São Paulo, Barcelona.
I had already played for Barcelona,
but this realization to play for São Paulo was still missing.
Welcome to Tricolor, dammit! Let's win this f**king thing!
And now I’m here
and I'm ready to live this football dream,
but on the personal side,
it hasn't sunk in yet.
O le le, o la la, Daniel is coming up, and things are gonna get ugly!
Good Crazy in the house!
Episode one
Homecoming
More than 1,000 São Paulo fans welcomed Daniel Alves this Monday afternoon
at the Congonhas Airport.
The fullback has already done his medical at the Barra Funda training complex.
I hope that this initial euphoria subsides,
because sometimes I feel embarrassed
by so many people stopping me to say
that it is a huge pleasure and joy to have me here.
And what I can tell them is how gratifying and important this is for me.
It is a dream come true,
but I know that I have to work hard because they are expecting a lot from me,
and I don’t want to let them down.
Around 45,000 tickets were sold for Daniel Alves' unveiling.
As I’m back in my country,
now closer to the people I like, to the people I love,
an important part of myself is still there in Europe.
But I know that, as soon as possible, she will be here as well.
I’m talking about my wife. She knows how important she is for me.
But another key part of my life, my family, is here.
We will try to arrange everything
so that everything happens in the best way possible,
so that we can be surrounded by happiness and good things.
Thank you so much.
It’s a big honor!
Gigi, come here!
How are you doing?
How are you, my love?
Let’s put it down on paper?
Have you seen the madness we have caused?
São Paulo is powerful!
Let’s sign the contract?
Under pressure due to a seven-year title drought,
São Paulo president has been spending millions on new players.
Daniel Alves' signing in 2019 is the club’s highest investment this century.
At the same time that it is quite surreal, it is very pleasant.
And all of this only happens
when the people identify themselves with the person who is coming to represent you.
I’ve decided to come here and represent all the people who love São Paulo’s history,
who love São Paulo Futebol Clube.
Love and passion are shared at this moment, not only by them, but by me too.
And as I said, they are signing a supporter,
they will have a childhood fan at their club,
but a supporter who likes to make history,
who likes to write good chapters and who will try in every way
to build a history at the team of my dreams,
at my childhood dream team, at my boyhood dream team
in order to write my name on this beautiful history that is São Paulo Futebol Clube’s.
- The handsome is here! - They are here.
All the guys are here. Luis.
- The handsome. - Hey handsome! What's up!
I am following my idols’ steps.
Fabuloso!
- How is it going? - What’s up, dammit!
F**k, I’m so happy to see you. How I missed you.
He has made me so happy. He has earned many bonuses for me!
With loads of good crosses from you!
What’s up Fabulosinho?
The day has come, right? You used to say that you would come.
I told you!
Back in 2005 …
You f**king inspire me!
This is great, brother. I’m so happy to see you here!
145 press members attended Daniel Alves' first media conference
and unveiling at Morumbi.
- That’s our women’s team. - What's up, Dani?
Can I have a picture with you?
How are you doing?
You are so handsome, buddy.
They told me I would come to meet you, so I dressed for the occasion.
This man smells really good.
- Good Crazy! Good Crazy! - We will have plenty of time together.
Good Crazy!
We will have plenty of time together.
Over 200,000 people watched Dani Alves' unveiling live on SPFC TV.
The previous record was 40,000 for Alexandre Pato's unveiling.
- This makes me anxious. - Exactly.
I’ve been anxious for a while.
It seems that this is my first time.
On our way here, the guys asked me, ‘Are you anxious?’.
'It's like I’m going on my first date'.
I have butterflies in my stomach, I don’t stop talking.
If I do that it’s because I’m nervous.
I get agitated.
Everyone behaves in a different way. Some remain quiet…
That’s not my case. I keep talking, talking …
That’s insane. On days like this you feel the energy.
For sure.
When you are about to get to the Morumbi stadium …
Exactly. You breathe a different air.
I remember the last match I played here before going to France.
It was against Santos and the ground was packed.
On our way here I kept watching the supporters from the bus,
and I ended up crying.
It is f**king great.
We are ready to go.
Welcome
to the unveiling press conference of the sãopaulino Daniel Alves,
Brazil national team’s captain,
and São Paulo Futebol Clube’s new signing.
What was presented to you and what, beyond your dream,
was vital to make you join São Paulo?
And what still motivates you in the field, since you're such a great player?
What motivates you in the field to this day, that will help São Paulo?
I have joined São Paulo to perform well, I’m not here to wrap up my career.
I have many goals and one of them is to make history at São Paulo.
He could have chosen any club to play for,
but he has chosen his country, his people,
the team that has his heart.
It is unreal, but Dani is here!
Brazilian football and Brazilian teams are different
because here fans live football in a different, special way.
Here football is almost a religion,
and people really support their teams, their colors.
From the outside, we can understand it,
but as we haven’t experienced it yet, we cannot understand the whole picture.
I know how important São Paulo is and its history.
I know how important I am as well,
that is why I decided to combine these two great stories
and to write another chapter.
- Have you felt the energy? - I’m full of it.
I really want to start running already!
♪ I'd rather be this walking metamorphosis ♪
On the next episode
What have you got there, Dani?
There are those warriors who are always with me.
Iniesta, Puyol.
People I have great affection for.
Neymar just sent me a message as well.
I’m making everyone turn into a São Paulo fan to cheer for the Good Crazy.
Good Crazy power!
Even Neymar said that he would have to support São Paulo, right?
Yes, he said he will have to support São Paulo now.
I’m here. They have to support me.
I will need it.
