Xavi Hernández has received a lot of criticism for his response when he was asked at the press conference on Saturday about Dani Alves and everything that was happening to him. The Catalan coach said he was shocked but at no time did he have any reference to the alleged victim, who he denounced for rape. For this reason, the Barça coach wanted to clarify his words, qualify them and apologize. “What I said was misinterpreted or I was not as forceful as I should have been, but it is important that I explain myself. It’s a tricky and delicate subject.Yesterday I ignored the victim, but I want to make it clear that any act of gender violence or rape must be condemned, whether Dani or anyone else does it, “explained the man from Egar before the press conference after beating Getafe.
Xavi added that “I feel bad that Dani could have done it, but on this issue you have to be very forceful.” And he noted: «Yesterday I was not very lucky with my words and I apologize. I know that my voice is very important, because I represent a club like Barça, for which I am truly sorry, it has not been a pleasant day for me.” It must be remembered that the coach has been a teammate of Alves for a long time at Barcelona and that last season he was his coach, Xavi himself being his supporter for him to return to the Barça club. «I’m surprised, shocked and in shock. It is a matter of justice and will dictate whatever. I feel very bad for him. Surprised by how Dani is and how he has been with us. Shocked, I can’t say anything else”, Xavi had commented on Saturday
It must be remembered that Dani Alves was jailed this past Friday accused of sexual assault after declaring at the police station. This Sunday he spent his third night in the Brians 1 prison. The footballer, who yesterday received a visit from his lawyer in jail, has requested to testify again before the judge handling the case, according to Cadena Ser. Questions to point out are, among other aspects, whether or not he knew the young woman and if hubo or in consensual sex, issues on which he said totally opposite things in his explanations in public and before the judge. On the contrary, the victim has always maintained a single version, coinciding with the evidence collected by the Mossos, according to what she has learned.
In addition, the security cameras from the disco, who recorded it in the VIP area, confirm that he was locked in the bathroom with the young woman for 15 minutes, something that also clashes with his first words in which he denied contact with the complainant. The images show how she leaves the room crying in which the events supposedly occurred.
