He says he insisted on returning to Barcelona to help put the Catalan club back on track. The 38-year-old Brazil defender says he will be ready to fight for a starting spot when he is eligible to play in January. Alves was without a club since leaving Brazilian team Säo Paulo in September. He signed a contract with Barcelona until the end of the season. Barcelona is ninth in the Spanish league.
