Dani Alves: "For every game they give me the macaque"

ROME, Feb. 8 - "living with racism, and the fact that every time I yell 'monkey', in every game I play, but now I do not take it anymore. This will never end. " On the eve of the France-Brazil, the withdrawal of Seleçao in Paris, Dani Alves does know that he has learned not to blame for some more insults, but also that he had surrendered to a certain state of affairs.

Interviewed for the edition on newsstands and online versions of the 'Folha de Sao Paulo', the most popular Brazilian newspaper, points out that the player of Barcelona 'in Spain still call me macaque monkey I scream, and racism in Spain I suffered a lot. Unfortunately now I have learned to live with.

" The Juazeiro in Bahia (a city 500 km. From the regional capital of El Salvador), which describes itself as "moreno negro family, with green eyes," a classic example of the great mixture of races that is Brazil, Dani Alves (tomorrow against owner the French), explains that "living with this every game.

Insult me, call me a monkey, but I do not offend again. Some fans do so, players are against it, but every game the fans attacking in this manner offends me. My family there is always very bad, it gets angry and sad about it. But I think people take the distance and uneducated people who tell me certain things.

" Daniel Alves is then asked if the players ever to reclaim the company to stop this situation, "the Spanish club and the league itself have tried to do something, and they have also punished the company, but it's uncontrollable: the truth is that this will never end. " Then Alves has something to say to those who think that the players are always under pressure because of the many commitments and aspirations of the fans, "but all this makes me laugh.

I felt the pressure when up to 14 years old I had to get up at five in the morning to go to work on plantations near my house, to pick fruit and vegetables or spread the anti-parasitic with oxygen tanks on his back, and then I had to make me ten kilometers to go to school. Often drought 'eat' everything.

For this I feel no pressure in football, because I do what I love. "
