Dani Alves has lashed out at Barcelona's hierarchy in a recent interview with the Guardian. The Brazilian, who left the club on contract expiry in June, did not mince his words.
"I didn’t leave sad," Alves said about his second spell at Camp Nou.
"I left happy to have returned to Barcelona. I dreamed for five years wanting to live this second moment. The only thing I didn’t like was how my departure was handled.
"Since I arrived, I made it very clear that I wasn’t any more a 20-year-old guy and that I wanted things to be done head-on, without hiding things.
"But this club has sinned in recent years. Barcelona don’t care about the people who made history for the club. As a culê, I would like Barcelona to do things differently.
"I’m not talking about myself because my situation was another scenario. I am eternally grateful to Xavi and the president for bringing me back.
"I found a club full of young people with incredible ideas on the pitch. But it needs to improve the work outside the field.
"The mindset is totally opposite to what we built a few years ago. Everything that happens on the field is a reflection of what happens outside.
"I’m supporting for Barcelona to come back to the top, but it’s super-complicated. Football is more balanced, it’s a collective game. And that has been left out at the club."
