RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazil captain Dani Alves had his hands full of trophies on Sunday after leading his team to a 3-1 victory over Peru in the Copa America final and being named best player of the tournament, outperforming his peers despite his 36 years.
The flamboyant right back collected a staggering 40th trophy as a professional as he hoisted the Copa America trophy into the Rio de Janeiro night sky, flanked by delirious team mates, and the triumph had his footprints all over it. His goal in the 5-0 thrashing of Peru in the group stages was a testament to his outstanding fitness as he marauded forward from the halfway line and made two one-two passes with team mates before smashing into the roof of the net.
Alves, whose trophy-filled career has taken him from hometown side Bahia to Sevilla, Barcelona, Juventus and Paris St Germain, is without a club after his contract with PSG expired.
