The football world still sways after the sudden death of Astor on Sunday, who stunned everyone who came out with comforting messages to his fellow players and family.
But while Alves offered his sympathy to the Italian defenders, he confessed that he would not become excessive like some of his colleagues and misconstrued that the protector received more attention than the loss of life that was happening in the world every day.
Alves was part of Juventos in Serie A
“We weren't very concerned because we didn't know him very well”, Alaves originally said at the press conference prior to the match at the Champions League.
I'm sorry about his family. I think David did what he had for him in this chaotic world, and now he's in a better place”.

We all have to die sooner or later because it's something that passes”.
Maybe we're sad, but certainly not like his family”, the Brazilian defender concluded.
