The Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernández, admitted this Sunday after the game against Getafe that he was not lucky at Saturday's press conference when referring to the case of former Barça player

Dani Alves

, who is in

preventive detention

after being denounced by an alleged violation.

"I think there was a bit of a misinterpretation of what I meant. Maybe I wasn't too clear yesterday. I missed the subject of the victim a bit and we have to condemn all these acts. I want to express my support for the victim and all the victims of this type of violence", he said as soon as the press conference began after the match, before the journalists' question time began.

Why is there a risk of flight with Dani Alves?

In addition, he explained that

"not a pleasant day" has passed

after the controversy caused by the fact that on Saturday he never referred to the victim, a 23-year-old girl, and for saying the phrase "I feel bad for Alves ", of whom he was a teammate at Barcelona and, later, a coach.

"The misunderstanding tastes bad to me. Perhaps I was not forceful enough in my words," he added.

The former Barcelona Soccer Club (FCB) player Dani Alves was admitted last Friday to the Brians 1 prison, in Sant Esteve Sesrovires (Barcelona), after the judge investigating him for allegedly sexually assaulting a young woman at the Sutton nightclub has been sent to provisional prison.
