Daniel Alves

[Sumlit]

A completely unnecessary statement. Alves didn't even mention media outlets by name, just in general. Gutless reaction by the club. They'd rather not get into the press bad side and let the players and the team continued to be smeared and slandered unchecked.

Fucking Florentino Perez issues a damn press conference every time once in a blue moon Marca step out of bounds and smears them. But Barca leadership bends over and even apologizes for getting dragged down the mud by the media.

Maybe because Rossel and Barto owns MD and they feel like it was somehow directed at them and they don't like it?

So we're back in the point where Barto wants to show Dani who's the boss and now that Aleix can play, he thinks he has the upper hand. Fu*king t*at that "president" is.

Nope we didn't.

Remembering all Alves renewal saga I won't be surprised if that is the case.

Working well for uncle Flo taking on media and allowing players to get distracted is it?

That place is a circus and the exact type of media level wars that Barca avoid for good reason.

Huh?

 

[Cule4life]

Who needs enemies when you have Barto as president?

 

[JamDav1982]

Huh?

Do you think Flo taking on the media in that aggressive manner is something that Barca should be replicate?

I don't. As tempting as it is.

What Barto did was just that. They replicated rm circus. Attacking their own player publicly will only give the media fuel, and also distract the players, who love Alves.

What do you mean? If club didn't make any statement at all then your points make sense. But they actually did make a statement. Not a favorable one that too. This is actually bad for the squad in many ways. I can understand why they felt needed to make a statement for the points you mentioned but I assure you this is not the right way to do it. Just register a complaint against that ref and make no fuzz and let the committee decide.

Agreed, however doing nothing is equally as unproductive. Not just that, but further siding with the media and censuring one of your players is quite foolish. Adds fuel to fire rather than tame it.

Though, Barca leadership is so clumsy and unimaginative, perhaps asking them to battle the media is not the best course of action. Might just shoot themselves in the foot with stupidity.

 

[footyfan]

Offensive expressions?!?! Unbelievable...

Siding with the media over your own player is just disgusting mismanagement. Dani should slag the club off in the press, maybe then these idiots will find out whose side the press is actually on.

Hardly attacking a player saying they didn't agree with his comments.

Anyway they can control what happens with Alves a lot more than media.

Thing is Alves comments are correct really but it can cause a whole host of issues that can be distracting and won't benefit club.

Anyone who makes our the club are just being weak or blasting players don't really take into account the whole picture and why they did it.

Would Lucho have been pissed off with that from Alves? My guess yes and players instructed not to do that type of thing from the outset.

This is what the board accomplished:

Marca

AS:

That's their main news now. Seriously appalling. What a shit board.

 

[footyfan]

The irony is delicious. Board tries to apologize to the press with a statement while the press uses the same statement to take a dump on Barca, in the exact manner Alves complained about. Less football, more trash.
