I don't get the #respect really. If he, or Barcelona overall wanted to give something back to Abidal then they should have just retired the number.

#RESPECT.

This respect thing is being overused wayyy to much.

this is for respect ! Barca didn't retired the number, so what thing should Alves do ? He also says that Barca made mistake with Abidal...I don't understand you..

If you think this is 'respect' then you might as well say Antonio Valencia's requestto give up the no. 7 shirt should be something nobleprize worhty.

wow heinsiburg,what a stupid comment... Why mentioning Valencia number with this ? Valencia have tattoo of Benitez on his shoulder and that is for respect too. Or U will say it's ordinary tattoo ? FGS

They should have just retired the shirt. Abidal is a warrior, Dani Alves is not near his standards.

I miss Abidal man :(
