The Tenerife model Joana Sanz asks for “respect, privacy” and not to “torment” her with her husband’s situation
“It is difficult to comment on a situation like this. I’m surprised, shocked, in a bit of a state of ‘shock’ to meet Dani. It is a matter of justice, which will dictate everything. I feel very sorry for Dani. I’m amazed how he is with us. I am shocked.” Xavi Hernández, the Brazilian’s former team-mate in the Barça squad and his coach in the second half of last season, spoke out loudly and repeatedly about the winger’s prison sentence for the alleged rape of a young woman in a nightclub in Barcelona The Barça coach’s opinion can be extended to the entire club dressing room and to the president, Joan Laporta, a personal friend of Alves, although the player criticized him for not renewing his last contract.
He is controversial off the field and is a beloved player in the Barça dressing room for his always joking and winning nature. The Catalan club especially thanks him for agreeing to strengthen a team in great need in the winter transfer window and at the same time immersed in a very delicate economic moment. The wage bill weighed like a brick on the directive, still waiting to activate those levers that got it back on its feet, and the room for maneuver in the market was minimal. But he managed to close two operations, that of Xavi and his technical staff and that of Alves, with a ridiculous global amount with the numbers that are used.
They spent 3.9 million for the coach, which is what LaLiga allowed them to take him on. And on the Brazilian they applied the lowest tab of the whole team, the minimum for a First Division footballer. Officially, in his last leg he received a salary of 155,000 euros per year, well below his cache. After retiring last summer on the occasion of the Joan Gamper Trophy, he received a tribute from Camp Nou where he received a plaque and a framed shirt showing his matches played. After his release, he signed with the Pumas de México, who kicked him out of the squad because of the alleged rape.
Joana Sanz, Alves’ wife, also spoke about the situation on Saturday. The Canarian model asked for “respect” and “privacy” from the media who are at the door of her house. “My mom passed away a week ago, I’m just beginning to assume she’s not around anymore to be tormented by my husband’s situation,” she wrote in a story on her Instagram profile. It should be remembered that Carmen Sanz died on January 13 at the age of 65 due to a brain tumor diagnosed last October and so the footballer traveled to Spain to be close to his partner.
