Maicon, because he plays defense, not just attacking like Alves.

C'mon u can't be serious? undecided

The primary job of a defender is to defend and we all know alves can't defend to save his life.

YOU MUST BE DRUNK. Alvez is a very good defender. People juss like to dey follow crowd. Because everybody says some shit doesn't make it true. I think Maicon is better overall, but Alves is in no way a bad defender. Maicon is just better.

U must have smoked weed this morning. The words Alves and Defence don't go 2gether. I've lost count on the amount of times alves has been caught out of position. Great attacker,average bodering on bad defender. It's that simple.
Re: Douglas Maicon (inter) Vs. Dani Alves (barcelona) Who's Better? by Krayola(m): 8:59pm On Oct 03, 2009
ALves is a very good defender. He gets forward a lot because he is an attacking threat so coaches put his ability good use. He doesn't get caught out a lot because he has good cover. Abidal slides into CB with Pique and Puyol covers him (like a 3 man defense). That is why I get worried when Mawxell plays because he also likes to get forward and having both him and Alves on the pitch together could be dangerous. But Alves doesn't get beaten easily, is very fast, and applies lots of pressure in the opposition half winning back possession for us over and over again in games. That he spends a lot of time in the opposition half doesn't mean he is a bad defender. . .it's just a tactical decision IMO.

Nahh Alves is an average defender. U just admitted yourself that he is lucky enough to have players who do cover his tracks when he goes missing. I agree he is fast and he does win possesion back in the opposition's half however that does not take away from the fact that he is a mediocre defender. I won't say bad but definitely average.

As a football lover who hasn't caught the 'club supportership bug', it is my opinion that Maicon is better than Alves. Kai! Brazil is truly blessed.
Re: Douglas Maicon (inter) Vs. Dani Alves (barcelona) Who's Better? by Krayola(m): 12:21pm On Oct 04, 2009
How can anyone that has eyes say Alves cannot defend? Thats just pure garbage. Na so people dey talk say Ibrahimovic dey lazy. This nonsense just goes viral and there is no truth to them. Maicon is a better defender than ALves, that doesn't make Alves and average defender. thats about the most ridiculous argument i've heard on NL so far. Is Ribery an Average player just because Messi is better than him?
Re: Douglas Maicon (inter) Vs. Dani Alves (barcelona) Who's Better? by chic2pimp(m): 4:08pm On Oct 04, 2009
^^^^ Forget those yarns jare. Alves and Maicon are great full/wing backs however Alves is an average defender. That's the exact same reason why Maldini is rated over carlos. R.Carlos and Maldini are legendary full backs however one is clearly better than the other when it comes to the art of defending.

Where is Maicon now? tongue
tkb417:
I dont know how you want Pires to bench Malouda.

as for Maicon, age has nothing to do with the national team selection, if Alves is better, he'll be chosen ahead of him
when Cincinho was in form, he benched Maicon in the National team so what are you talking about?

Alves is just another Evra. he'll probably be looked at when hes about retiring cos i see Maicon playing that role for a long time
