Club career

On 4 January 2016, Alves joined Albanian Superliga side Flamurtari Vlorë by penning a contract until the end of the season.[2][3] He was presented on the same day where he was allocated squad number 99.[2] He made his competitive debut later on 24 January, starting in the first leg of 2015–16 Albanian Cup quarter-final tie against Tirana, unable to avoid the 0–1 home defeat.[4] Alves' league debut would come six days later in the matchday 19 against Teuta Durrës, playing the entire match as Flamurtari took the first three points of 2016.[5] Alves endured a 653-minute scoreless run across 7 matches until 2 April, when he scored his maiden Flamurtari goal, in a 1–1 away draw against the same opponents.[6]

He had a slow first part of season, netting only once in 16 league matches; the opening of a 3–1 home win over newbie Lushnja on 16 September.[7] Two weeks later, Alves received criticism from manager Shpëtim Duro after missing several good chances to score in the goalless home draw versus Luftëtari Gjirokastër.[8][9] Alves responded the next day via a Facebook status, stating that Duro has put many players out of position, including him.[10] The issue was solved two days later by club administrator Sinan Idrizi.[11]

Alves captained Flamurtari for the first time on 19 November 2017 in the 0–1 win at Lushnja,[12] wearing the armband from 41st minute following the substitution of Tomislav Bušić.[13] In December 2017, he signed a new three-year contract that would keep him at Vlora until 2021.[14]

Alves was the main protagonist of the 2017–18 Albanian Cup quarter-final first leg versus Partizani Tirana by netting a volley from 25 metres following a mistake from goalie Alban Hoxha to give Flamurtari the 1–0 win at home.[15] It was his first goal after four months and 15 matches. Following the match Alves described the goal as a "big relief".[16] Alves scored his first league goal since September 2017 on 4 February, a header in the 1–1 draw at Kukësi; it was the first time ever that Flamurtari doesn't lose at Zeqir Ymeri Stadium.[17]

    gollark: No, we have three of them, only *one* is.
    gollark: I wonder what causes that. As an entirely anecdotal example, the sixth form computer science class I'm going into next year has something like 11 people, all male.
    gollark: Actually, I just have views which kind of line up with yours, and am very contrarian.
