A young player from the Brazilian national team revealed that Daniel Alves, preventively arrested for sexual abuse in Spain, was his idol, and became the target of criticism on social media
The career of Daniel Alves in football was certainly ended after being arrested for sexual abuse in Barcelona, Spain, but the history made on the pitch is still a source of inspiration for young players. Despite this, after the Brazilian Team, Yan Couto admitting idolization of the former athlete, criticism was directed at him on social media.
Journalists, reporters and fans reacted negatively to the player’s speech, placing Daniel, preventively detained after being accused of sexual abuse in Spain, as his biggest inspiration in football: “The guy really thought it was a great idea to say that his idol is Daniel Alves. Yes, Daniel Alves. The man is in prison for abusing a 23-year-old girl in a nightclub bathroom. Yes, idol. Brazilian team: the further away, the better. It’s real“, said the journalist Julia Mazarin.
“My idol is Daniel Alves, right? There’s no way it could be anyone else.”
