At 41, Dante, the OGC Nice defender, regrets the impact of social networks on the new generation of footballers. Guest on RMC, the Brazilian expressed his frustration with the excessive attention of young people towards technology, explaining that they “believe their phone more” than the advice of the elders.
The player with 13 selections with the Seleçao recognizes that this phenomenon goes beyond the world of football, affecting society as a whole, but insists on the importance for the most experienced to find “tools and good communication codes” to pass on their knowledge.
A veteran adapting to the new generation
Despite his criticism, Dante does not let himself be defeated and adapts to the behavior of young players. “It’s not always easy, it can be tiring to always repeat”he admits, while recalling that, in his time, simple advice was enough to be applied.
Today, he calls on his peers to adjust to new mentalities to better share their experience, a challenge for a player who remains a reference for longevity and professionalism.
