Juventus full-back Dani Alves has branded the directors at his former club Barcelona, ‘very false and ungrateful.’
The Brazilian joined Juve on a free transfer last summer and explained the motivations for his move.
“I like to feel wanted, and if someone doesn’t want me then I’m leaving,” Alves told ABC.
“Leaving Barcelona on a free was a classy punch. During my last three seasons I kept hearing ‘Dani Alves is leaving’, but the directors never said anything.
“They were very false and ungrateful, they didn’t respect me. They only offered me a renewal when they got the FIFA sanctions.
“That’s why I played them at their own game and signed a renewal with a release clause. Those who run Barcelona today have no idea how to treat their players.
“Why Juventus? I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and compete at a high level with a historic and winning club, because I’m a winner. So are Juventus.
“This is an institution which always has something to teach you, which always competes. I’m happy here, and I’ve found beautiful new challenges in a great team.
”Alves won the Champions League three times at Barcelona, a competition Juve haven’t won since 1996…
“We have the weapons to fight for it, definitely. They’re very superstitious here though, so we say that quietly. Let’s take it a step at a time.
“First there’s Casillas’ Porto, then we’ll see what comes.”
Off topic, but anyone vividly remember the 06 world cup? Because i swear i was under the impression that camoranesi was the one who assisted materazzi… But highlights have proven otherwise. Am i just on something or so others remember it the same way
You still didnt impress me. I wish so much that Lirola comes soon back. Then you can only play against Verona or Crotone. Just go to China. For 13 mill.
Dont like that Hobo
They are saying Bonucci is out for Porto. Must be a case with Allegri. Or maybe the Italian press just bullshitting again
No its not Bonucci is out. Risky but probably well deserved for Bonucci.
