Xavi clarifies his words in the Dani Alves case: ‘I apologize to the victim, I was unlucky’

In Barcelona they celebrated on the field of play. The culé team beat Getafe by the minimum, with a score by Pedri, at 35′, and continues to chase Real Madrid, a team that is four units away, with the same number of matches played.

Once the duel was over, however, coach Xavi demanded to clarify his statements regarding Dani Alves. The Brazilian, who was his partner in the culé team, is being held in Spain after being charged with sexual assault.

The exvolant left the conference with an apology. He assured that he was sorry for having “obviated the question of the victim” and defended that “these acts were committed by Dani or any other person” must be condemned.

“What I wanted to say about Alves was misinterpreted, I think I was not punchy enough in my words and I have to explain myself. This is a difficult and very important question.” the exvolante began by saying.

“I ignored the question of the victim, these acts must be condemned whether Dani or anyone else did it and I apologize because I was unlucky, I apologize to the victim and victims of gender violence and rape. I feel bad that Dani did this, it surprises me, but all my support to the victim. I was unlucky yesterday and there was a lot of criticism, I understand and I apologize.” , completed. “I hope people will understand that. I know my voice is very important, I’m part of the best club in history and I feel bad because I haven’t been punchy enough in my words. I’m really sorry,” he concluded.

Recall that this Saturday, when asked about the situation, Xavi avoided condemning his ex-companion. He limited himself to talking about how Alves would feel, in a harshly criticized situation in Spain. “It is difficult to comment on a situation like this. I am surprised and shocked. In a state of shock. Justice will dictate anything, we cannot enter. I feel very bad for him. I’m surprised,” he said succinctly.

In the past few hours, however, more information has been added that further complicates his situation. As published by Spanish newspaper El Periódico who had access to the nightclub security camera reports, which are analyzed in the Mossos d’Esquadra investigation, the player spent almost 15 minutes with the plaintiff locked in the bathroom. The filming dismantles the theories of the player, who has already given three different versions during the interrogations to which he was subjected.

The player acknowledged, according to Spain’s TV3, that he was at the party, but said it was only for a short time and denies the sexual assault attributed to him by the victim. Then, in his defense, he first said that I didn’t know the girl that he allegedly sexually assaulted, then said that Yes, I had seen her but there was no type of connection and finally he said that she was the one who harassed him.
