5 football players who can become marathon runners

#4 Dani Alves

Alves is known for his bombarding runs down the right flank

The former Barcelona full-back is unlike other players in his position as he completes more passes than other players because he’s always on the move. Alves is one player who is getting forward irrespective of the fact whether he has the ball at his feet or not in order to support and assist in his team’s attack.

The Brazilian international also lends width when his team is on the offensive with his darting runs across the field capable of covering the entire right flank all by himself.

Alves’ combination of speed and stamina means that he is almost impossible for any opposition player to track for the entire duration of 90 minutes, which not only makes him lethal and dangerous to play against but also a great choice for a marathon.
