In full reversal of the situation of the Brazilian, since he assured to have had contact with the young woman who accuses him but in a consensual way, the Mexican team decided to terminate the contract of the player. Meanwhile, Xavi, the footballer’s former team-mate and coach at Barcelona, said he was ‘shocked’ by the fact.
During the last day, a news occurred that deeply affected the world of football. Dani Alves, former Barcelona player and Brazilian national team, was arrested in Spain in the midst of a criminal case that investigates him for an alleged sexual assault on a young woman.
The head of the court of instruction number 15 of Barcelona determined the entry into preventive detention without the right to bail for the footballer . The precautionary measure, according to the judge in question, is due to the fact that the player could flee the country, since he has dual citizenship and currently resides in Mexico.
Dismissal amid contradictions
The native of Bahia is in difficulty. In the first instance, Alves confirmed that he was at the scene and denied any contact with the woman who accuses him: “I was there, in that place, with more people having fun. Without invading the space of others. I’m so sorry, but I don’t know who this lady is . I have never invaded someone’s space without permission”, he declared in the program “Y ahora Sonsoles”.
Alves maintained this version before the judge, in principle. However, in recent statements, the player would have contradicted himself on certain points, in particular about his contact with the woman. Alves collected himself and assured that he had a relationship with the young woman, but that everything would have been agreed. Given this, the case and the investigation took a new direction.
The bad news for Alves does not end there and the chaos grows, because UNAM Pumas, a team he was a member of until the last minute of the final day, decided to terminate his contract. “With the information that has arisen about the legal process that player Dani Alves is facing and for which he is being held in Spain, We have decided to communicate that the university club has decided to terminate the employment contract with the player for cause as of today said Leopoldo Silva, president of the Mexican team, during an extraordinary press conference.
“With this decision, the club reiterates its commitment not to tolerate the actions of any member of our institution. anybody, that violate the university spirit and its values. The National University Club is an institution that promotes respect. We cannot allow any person’s conduct to undermine our work philosophy, which has been an example throughout history in the training and development of young athletes in our country.” sentenced.
Xavi in shock
In the preview of the duel between Barcelona and Getafe, Xavi, the culé coach, spoke about what is happening around his ex-partner and realised: “Like everyone else, I am surprised, shocked. A little shocked to meet Dani. That’s the first thing that comes to mind.” .
“Afterwards, it’s a matter of justice and it will dictate anything, we can’t get into it. As for Dani, I feel terrible for him. I’m amazed at how he is and how he’s been here with us. I can’t say anything more “, concluded the strategist.
