Alves revealed, "[Cristiano Ronaldo] told me: 'You have to keep playing. Take care of yourself and you're in good shape. I know how much you like football, so don't give up'.
"It changed my decision.
"It was great support from the best in the world. If Cristiano [Ronaldo] says to continue, then it's because I can really continue."
Alves has since signed with Greece's Smyrnis.
