It was hard the expulsion of Dani Alves in front of the Athletic of Madrid. It was not necessary, the marker gave like winner to the FC Barcelona (4-2) to the minute 69 in the Camp Nou and until then all seemed controlled, but the Brazilian nailed him his swearwords to Yannick Carrasco to the height of the knee. Gil Manzano did not doubt to take him out the red to the carrilero when seeing the repetitions in the screen of the VAR.
It will be of drop by two commitments like consequence of his action. Two key parties for the interests of the team of Xavi Hernández, to the one who definitely the news falls him like a baldazo of cold water. No like this for one of the young footballers that has lost major prominence in the first team after the course of his big valedor, Ronald Koeman, of the bench culé.
Sergiño Dest Does not see with bad eyes the absence of Dani Alves for the derbi in front of the Espanyol of the next Sunday 13 February and in front of the Napoli the Thursday 17 in the Camp Nou. The international estadounisense had to jump to the field in front of the Athletic to cover the absence of the Brazilian, and now will follow suit in the next meetings until the footballer of 38 years fulfil his sanction.
Ideal moment to shine
Given the circumstances, Dest will have an opportunity of gold to claim and win like this the confidence of Xavi, that does not have any another footballer that represent truly a spare for Alves in his position, by what the youngster futbolistatendrá that answer to the very high requirements that will confront in the next dates.
By his part, the historical carrilero will have to learn of this low experience not to commit a similar error place that in front of the picture colchonero left to his team to favour of a tie in spite of having attained a marker been bulky, and now will not be able to defend the Barcelona T-shirt until fulfilling with his punishment, abandoning to his in two 'final'.
