On Sunday, the Pumas received Santos at the University Olympic Stadium, who achieved a 5-1 victory with Dani Alves on the field.
After 29 days of his emotional presentation as reinforcement of the Pumas, on Sunday Dani Alves played his fifth game in the Mexican league, and with him in the lineup the felines have a balance of two straight draws and three straight losses. To this is added the 6-0 suffered in the visit to Barcelona in a match for the Joan Gamper trophy, in which the Brazilian received a tribute.
In that string of six games without winning topped off with those four defeats, the Pumas have received 19 goals, a situation that has unleashed the discomfort of the university fans against the technical director Andrés Lillini and also Dani Alves.
During the match when he touched the ball, Dani received boos and whistlesalso at the end when he was on his way from the court to the locker room.
Coach Lillini has been questioned for keeping Alves on the pitch for 90 minutes of the five games he has played in the Mexican league. In Mexican sports critics, the version that the Pumas undertook in the Brazilian’s contract that he play every minute.
Faced with such a version, days ago Miguel Mejía Barón, sports vice president of the Pumas, called an unusual press conference to declare “what a good imagination and what good ideas they have to enter into controversy because controversy sells, but they must think that any serious professional I wouldn’t accept such nonsense.”
“That does not exist, there are no clauses that force the coach to (Dani Alves) play the 90 minutes. It seems like a joke, but I know it’s not because they say it in a way that they are convinced of, but I certify that it is not true” , he asserted.
