Alves coy on future

His club face Espanyol in an all-Spanish UEFA Cup final tomorrow and Brazil star Alves insists he is just focused on retaining the trophy.

"It's a complicated subject and right now is not the best time to talk about it," he told UEFA. "We can't afford to get distracted by anything, we have to focus on the games and we've got a lot at stake."

Sevilla still have a chance at winning an unprecedented treble after qualifying for the Copa del Rey final and Barcelona's late capitulation against Betis throwing the Liga race wide open.

"Right now Sevilla fans can't believe what is happening," the £15 million-rated 23-year-old continued. "A few years ago it was about working to get a UEFA Cup place and in the last year it's been about enjoying finals.

"We have to enjoy this nice moment and always keep the aim of winning but not get obsessed with it because it could be harmful. It would be a success to win two trophies; it would be good to win one."
