Warming up for his Boca debut: world star spotted in the shirt | OneFootball

While Boca Juniors prepares to host Central Córdoba at La Bombonera, a video posted on social media has caused a stir in the “Xeneize World.” A controversial world-class figure was filmed posing with the jersey, “practicing for his presentation” as a new signing for the Ribera team.

We’re talking about Dani Alves, the former Brazilian footballer, who was involved in a scandal, including a trial and conviction for the rape of a 23-year-old woman. Through a video that quickly went viral on social media, he was seen “rehearsing for his welcome at Boca.”

The clip was filmed and shared by Sol Rinaldi, wife of Eduardo “Toto” Salvio, who gifted the jersey to the former Brazil and Barcelona national team player. Unbothered by his previous conviction and all the surrounding controversy, the partner of the former Xeneize striker cheered Alves on in the recording like any other fan.

“Practicing his presentation at Boca with the jersey I gave him. We’re signing him, right?” wrote Rinaldi on her personal Instagram account. In the story, Dani Alves can be seen holding the crest and greeting an imaginary crowd, accompanied by the video author’s comments.

Dani Alves’ Relationship with Boca

This isn’t the first time Dani Alves has been seen with something related to Boca. On other occasions, the Brazilian has appeared with the blue and gold jersey. He was at La Bombonera with the Brazilian national team and had his photo taken at the legendary Xeneize stadium. Additionally, the Football Council gave him a jersey when he visited the Ezeiza training ground with the São Paulo squad.

Another time Alves was linked to the Ribera team was when Boca and Barcelona faced off for the Maradona Cup. That day, the Brazilian took home the jersey he swapped with the players at the time.
