Dani Alves slams Shearer for criticism --Brazil full-back Dani Alves lambasted former England striker Alan Shearer yesterday (Saturday) for comments he made about Fred. Shearer criticised Selecao manager Luiz Felipe Scolari for persisting with Fred in attack against Mexico despite a below-par display in the opening match against Croatia. But Alves felt Shearer, a three-time Premier League Golden Boot-winner, was out of line. Its one of the most moronic comments I have heard so far, Alves said at a news conference at Brazils HQ in Teresopolis. To hear an ex-player being so disrespectful to a fellow footballer is anti-ethical to say the least. He [Shearer] lacked respect towards Fred and his comments diminished the game of football. I pity this kind of person. When prompted to comment on Shearers criticism of Freds performances Alves had already appeared unhappy with the gathered media. The Brazil full back complained about what he perceived as pessimism towards Brazils squad and questioned the knowledge of those behind negative comments, including Shearer. A former player should have known better before criticising colleagues, Alves said. We all know how hard it is to make it in professional football, the hardship we all endure to become pros. It surprised me that somebody who supposedly knows the game says something like that
