Dani Alves has confirmed his departure from Juventus via a post on his Instagram page, apologising for offending supporters.
Beppe Marotta previously confirmed Alves’ departure and now the player has written a brief post on Instagram, thanking Juventini.
“I would like to thank all the JUVENTUS FANS for the year I experienced, TO MY TEAMMATES FOR WELCOMING ME LIKE THE REAL PROFESSIONALS THEY ARE, FOR A CLUB THAT WINS AND PLAYS IN FINALS,” wrote Dani Alves on Instagram in Spanish.
“I think that my respect for this club and its supporters was my dedication, my passion and all the efforts to make this club a greater club every single day.
“I apologise to the Juventus fans if sometimes they thought I had done something to offend them. This was never my intention, I just have a very spontaneous way of approaching life that few people understand… even though it appears that I am not perfect, however, my heart is pure.
“Today I end our professional rapport and will take with me all of those who with love and true heart make Juve a great club. As everyone knows, I always say what I think and feel…
“I feel that I should say thank you to Mr Marotta for the opportunity he gave me, he’s a great professional and someone who loves his job like few others…
“I don’t play football for money, I play football because I love the profession and those who are part of it. I leave it up to you to judge what I have done and worked for.
“I LOVE FOOTBALL and money will never take me to any other place.”
Thanks for nothing Dani. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
bla bla bla, simply GTFO Dani!
For the sake of journalism, I will translate dani’s original spanish text correctly, starting from the Marotta bit .. His grammar is as odd as the translation reads, and as a native spanish speaker i can tell you the statement is way confusing. It is up to you to decide whether he can’t speak spanish, or whether he is actually taking shots at Marotta..
“As you know, i always sin for saying what i think and what i feel.. i feel i must thank mr. MAROTA for the opportunity i gave you of having a great professional and someone who loves his profession as he who does most.. i don’t play football for money, i play football because i love that profession and respect those who take part in it. I will let you enjoy what i have worked on so that you may have many years of vacation. I LOVE FOOTBALL and money will never retain me anywhere. THANK YOU”
Would both be possible? I think its both the case. Thank you for the translation!
