Danilo Almeida Alves (born 11 April 1991) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Brazilian club ABC. [1]
On 4 January 2016, Alves joined Albanian Superliga side Flamurtari Vlorë by penning a contract until the end of the season. [2] [3] He was presented on the same day where he was allocated squad number 99. [2] He made his competitive debut later on 24 January, starting in the first leg of 2015–16 Albanian Cup quarter-final tie against Tirana, unable to avoid the 1–0 home defeat. [4] Alves' league debut would come six days later in the matchday 19 against Teuta Durrës, playing the entire match as Flamurtari took the first three points of 2016. [5] Alves endured a 653-minute scoreless run across seven matches until 2 April, when he scored his maiden Flamurtari goal, in a 1–1 away draw against the same opponents. [6]
He had a slow first part of season, netting only once in 16 league matches; the opening of a 3–1 home win over newbie Lushnja on 16 September. [7] Two weeks later, Alves received criticism from manager Shpëtim Duro after missing several good chances to score in the goalless home draw versus Luftëtari Gjirokastër. [8] [9] Alves responded the next day via a Facebook status, stating that Duro has put many players out of position, including him. [10] The issue was solved two days later by club administrator Sinan Idrizi. [11]
Alves captained Flamurtari for the first time on 19 November 2017 in the 1–0 win at Lushnja, [12] wearing the armband from 41st minute following the substitution of Tomislav Bušić. [13] In December 2017, he signed a new three-year contract that would keep him at Vlora until 2021. [14]
Alves was the main protagonist of the 2017–18 Albanian Cup quarter-final first leg versus Partizani Tirana by netting a volley from 25 metres following a mistake from goalie Alban Hoxha to give Flamurtari the 1–0 win at home. [15] It was his first goal after four months and 15 matches. Following the match Alves described the goal as a "big relief". [16] Alves scored his first league goal since September 2017 on 4 February, a header in the 1–1 draw at Kukësi; it was the first time ever that Flamurtari doesn't lose at Zeqir Ymeri Stadium. [17]
