Alves told Tele 5 : " Mourinho amuses me . I enjoy hearing his comments and I find it all very funny ."



It's not the first time Alves has had to respond to disparaging comments from the Portuguese coach . Last December he had a nother cross in with him, after Alves criticised Mourinho for "not discovering real football" and played down his managerial impact.



Mourinho, in his usual sarcastic fashion, responded by saying his country discovered themselves but obviously not football, also chucking in Albert Einstein for good measure.



"He's a very funny guy, we joke all the time" said the Brazilian.



Alves also aimed a quick jab at los Merengues, when quizzed on the opportunity of signing for Real Madrid whilst still a Sevilla player.



"It's in the past, the train has passed . I was expecting something better," he said .



The right-back has recently signalled his commitment to the Blaugrana cause by finally agreeing to a three-year extension on his current deal, and will be ready to give his all when his side face Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday night.
