In the Copa America 2019 final last night, Brazil faced many difficulties against Peru. However, with superior class and home advantage, the yellow-blue team won with a score of 3-1 to become the South American champion.
This is the Brazilian team's 9th Copa America title and the first time since 2007. Right after the final whistle, Selecao had a very grand celebration at Maracana Stadium. Everyone could not hide their happiness with the first title won under Coach Tite.
On a personal level, at the end of the tournament successfully at home, Dani Alves was voted the Best Player. This is a worthy reward for Dani Alves after a very successful tournament that just ended in Brazil. Without Neymar's biggest star, Dani Alves was the locomotive, the spiritual leader throughout the Copa America 2019 campaign of the Brazilian national team.
The 2019 Copa America Best Player award is the biggest individual title Dani Alves has won in his illustrious career. The 2019 Copa America championship is the second championship in this tournament won by Alves. The 36-year-old defender previously won the Copa America 2007 championship.
Not only that, the 36-year-old defender also reached a historic milestone: becoming the first player in the world to win 40 titles including both national championship and club level. Specifically, Dani Alves has won 4 titles with the Brazilian national team, 6 with PSG, 2 with Juventus, 23 with Barcelona and 5 with Sevilla Club.
After the Copa America 2019 final, the Brazilian national team captain enthusiastically said: HLV Tite is the new captain on our boat. I only represent the players.
Congratulations to my teammates and the Brazilian NHM, who have enthusiastically supported us in this match and throughout the Copa America campaign. This is an important title for the future success of this team.

In addition to Dani Alves, two other Brazilian players who also won individual awards at Copa America 2019 are Alisson and Everton.
