AEPD demand apology from Dani Alves after Barca star trashes press on Instagram

The AEPD, that’s the Spanish Sports Press Association, have stated that the body “demands a public retraction” after Dani Alves laid into fellow colleagues treatment by the press using a stinging attack on his Instagram.

The former Sevilla flying wing back commented; “we are objects used by the press so that they can sell newspapers”
before labelling the Spanish media as
“f****** rubbish”.

De verdad que cada día que pasa me da más vergüenza formar parte de este deporte, de cómo nos utilizan, de cómo juegan con nosotros. Pensé un día que saldríamos cada uno a defender sus colores, sus equipos, pensé que si ganara o si perdiera me iba a casa enfadado a reflexionar lo mal que habíamos ?echo o a disfrutar de lo bien que hicimos. Hoy somos objetos utilizados por la prensa para que ellos se beneficie, para que ellos vendan periódico. Cada ves más se habla menos de fútbol, de estrategia, de las jugadas, de los regates de los goles, de las paradas y del espectáculo. "Que p… basura que son" ??#masfutbolymenosbasura Ass: #goodcrazy?

What’s particularity got the Brazilians goat is the tongue lashing Barcelona players received following their bad tempered 4-1 win in the Copa del Ray on Wednesday. A game in which Luis Suarez received a two match ban for his taunting of an Espanyol player, not to mention a tunnel bust up involving fellow players.

Clearly incensed with the players outburst, the AEPD released the following statment; “The Spanish Sports Press Association rejects, condemns and demands a public retraction of the Barcelona player while studying legal action, because ‘such statements are subject to criminal prosecution’, as lawyers consulted.
