Dani Alves angered by Barcelona's treatment of Abidal
Dani Alves is angry over Barcelona's treatment of Eric Abidal, who was released on a free transfer this summer after fighting cancer, Goal.com reported.
"Abidal's exit was a very unpleasant surprise. The decision to release him really annoyed me after all he'd gone through and done," the Brazil international told RAC1.
"I wanted him to continue at Barca after all that had happened and how he fought his way back. Yet when he got back he wasn't given a new deal.”
Alves also had his say on the departure of Thiago Alcantara to Bayern Munich, ruing the midfielder's decision to leave the club.
He added: "Thiago is my friend and I know that he wanted to play more. I think that he left too early as he was still young and becoming more important, but he made a brave decision."
