Xavi backtracks on his statements on the complaint against Alves: “We must condemn these acts, whether they are carried out by Dani or anyone else”

The football world is scandalized by the situation Dani Alves is going through. The Brazilian winger was preliminarily sentenced to prison for the case in which he is accused of sexual assault on a 23-year-old woman and his case has not gone unnoticed by anyone.

In this harmony, the Pumas have decided to terminate the contract of the former Barcelona and have spoken strongly about it. Due to its past and the place where the event occurred, Spain is one of the places where the issue has had the greatest impact, particularly in Barcelona.

For this reason, in the press conference that preceded the match against Getafe, Xavi was asked who behaved with great prudence in the face of such a complicated issue. “Difficult to comment on such a situation. I am surprised and shocked. In shock. Justice will dictate whatever, we can’t enter. I feel very bad for him. I am amazed at how he is and how he has been with us. I can’t say anything else,” explained the Blaugrana coach.

However, these words left a rather strange feeling during the analysis and the emotion generated was enormous. Faced with this situation, after this Sunday’s 1-0 victory against Getafe, the Spanish manager returned to the question and corrected some observations made.

“What I said about Alves was misunderstood, maybe I wasn’t incisive. I ignored the victim, all these acts must be condemned whether Dani or anyone else does. I apologize, I was not lucky“Said the former midfielder who was Dani’s teammate and coach.

At the same time, Hernández has tried to leave a stronger message on this matter which has clearly horrified the world of football and unfortunately there are already several similar cases: “It’s a very difficult subject, but I’ve avoided talking about the victims. All these types of acts must be condemned, both in terms of gender-based violence and rape.“

In this way, Xavi has tried to close the controversy on this delicate issue and which is already taking on another dimension in the face of such repercussions and some contradictions in the testimony of the 38-year-old footballer.

The change of statements that complicates Dani Alves

The testimony of Dani Alves is analyzed in detail and in several passages it presents some inconsistencies. Initially, the Brazilian footballer claimed that he did not know his complainant and claimed that he had never invaded his environment. However, as the hours went by, the former San Pablo confessed that there had been a meeting, but it was agreed.

At the same time, another part of the story was revealed in which the versions so far claimed that the match lasted no more than 47 seconds, But based on recordings from the nightclub, it’s estimated they spent around 15 minutes in the bathroom, according to Spanish media El Periódico..

And obviously this interval of time is incompatible with what was declared by the former Barcelona, ​​​​PSG and Juventus, who changed his version before the judge, so Alves’ situation is even more complicated.
