The Brazilian defender has said that he will accept whatever will come on his way for nothing scares him at the moment according to La Vanguardia.

"I will accept whatever comes. I left home when I was barely 15 years old. I have overcome very difficult and complicated situations in my life. This will be one more that will pass. Nothing scares me," said Alves.
