Dani Alves Juventus: the (real) reasons why the marriage did not work. Because the farewell from the bianconeri was precocious
The early rupture of the relationship between Dani Alves, arrived on a free transfer since Barcelona, and the Juventus is one of the most mulled football issues of recent years. A complex, fascinating, histrionic character, an explosive and sparkling supernova that has not aligned in the black and white galaxy, probably because it is incompatible with it. “They told me they would change the way of playing and it wasn’t true “, is thelatest social outsourcing of the Brazilian, yet another manifestation of a discomfort born and flared up immediately that led him to leave Turin after only one season (2016/17), among other things, full of successes. The current player of the St. Paul won with the you one scudetto it’s a Italian Cup (scoring in the final with Lazio), coming to play the final of Champions in Cardiff lost to Real Madrid. On a personal level, his year, positive overall despite a serious injury, ended with 6 goals, 7 assists and a place in the TOP 11 at the AIC Grand Gala.
The tactical / philosophical reasons
Beyond the real or assumed promises, Dani Alves 5 years ago it represented a strong breaking point in the house you, as well as one of the first attempts to change the playing philosophy of a team that, at least at European level, had always preferred to adapt to the proposal. Juazeiro’s exterior – which came from 8 years of Barcelona – found himself trapped in the tactics of Italian football and even more so in the defensive attitude of Juve. More generally, the all-green-gold spirit of “Play Beautiful“Clashed with Juventus pragmatism. “I expect Italian football in general to change. For the national team, for example, the problem is not the coach but more general, because the level has lowered. They should all take an example from Napoli: I like it very much and this vision that Sarri’s team has is useful for improving football. There is a need for more fun, like in modern football», he said in 2017 after leaving the Bianconeri. Allegri that year I often deployed him as a winger in midfield, to enhance his technical skills. The same technician from Livorno recently said he had learned a lot from Alves during those months: «We were in Naples to play the semi-final of the Cup, we had to bring home the game since it was close. Dani Alves told me that he wanted to go to man on Insigne because he was the only blue who was creating some problems for us. At that point I gave him my ok. I too have learned from the great players. When we played against Barcelona we went to man on Neymar remembering this experience ».
The environmental / economic reasons
To determine consensual termination of the contract of Dani Alves with the you however, it was also a very strong environmental component. “A Turin I realized that it was not easy to take a flight to see my children in Spain. And for my partner, finding a job was more difficult, there weren’t many opportunities», Said the Brazilian. A protracted intolerance even within the walls of the Juventus dressing room: “At first I struggled a lot, they didn’t understand me. On the ground as well as outside. Music was not allowed in the locker room. I cannot live without music, without dancing ». A few years later it was Barzagli to return to the question: “We had a bit of a problem with Dani Alves because he put the music on the ball, he was used to Barcelona and they said that it happens often. But even in England the teams have loud music before the match. At one point they told him ‘Look Dani, sorry but here there are those who want to stay focused and some less‘, and then he would put the music into his headphones and dance alone“- except therefore admitting:”Then at the end he came onto the pitch and you could see that he was one of the most concentrated“. A question of empathy, an empathy that Dani Alves evidently found the following year at PSG with his friend Neymar and a large Brazilian colony. Last but not least the economic aspect as the then 33 year old passed away from the 3.5 million he received in Juventus to the 8.4 million he earned under the Tour. It is not a detail.
