Recently, Alves was interviewed by Sky Sports about Ronaldo and he revealed the most special thing about his Portugal teammate: "The joy that he always shows is his greatest talent. He is very friendly and he is honest, his education is what the family gave him is very important. He likes to do everything at his best.
"We saw the Euros in 2016 we went to Ibiza with the families, it was a beautiful period after winning that trophy, it's very important for us, it was the first trophy for Portugal."
Alves also said that Ronaldo deserved to win the Ballon D'or in 2018. He said: "Obviously he was angry, he deserved it, for all he did last year, which can motivate him even more. It's important for him and his club that he's motivated like that, he wants to win trophies."
