Speaking to the official FCB website, the veteran remarked, "He is an amazing player, who covers ground, has a strong shot and is strong in defence."
Sylvinho has long since departed the Brazilian international scene, but it was with some controversy that Alves was left out of the recent Brazil squad.
On this the left back said, "Dunga does have some strong players for that (right back) position but I am sure, and I have spoken to him about it, that he will have a great season and will soon be back in the national team."
Alves was a member of the side to lose out 1-0 to Numancia in Soria on Matchday 1. Sylvinho went on, "Neither is the lack of a goal only the fault of the forwards nor a goal conceded just the fault of the defence.
"Barça is a team, and we all win and we all lose. I think the team is highly dedicated to its task and keen to do things well.
"The team has changed but you can’t say things are no good after just one game, that we got the preseason wrong or that the new signings aren’t contributing anything. It is far too early to draw conclusions but I know it is hard to gain credit in the football world.
"We have a very strong squad and we can do many things. Barça will be title candidates alongside Real Madrid, Sevilla, Atlético Madrid and Valencia."
