The Spanish world champions did not have a moment of peace. Victorious in the final against England, the players have a controversy on their backs. In question: the kiss of the president of the federation, Luis Rubiales, to Jennifer Hermoso.
After this act, the player admitted “not having appreciated” in a live on social networks. Before returning to his statement, in consultation with the Federation. She explained that it was “a totally spontaneous mutual gesture because of the immense joy that comes from winning a World Cup. The president and I have a great relationship, his behavior with all of us was perfect and it was a natural gesture of affection and gratitude.”
The gesture of the president of the Spanish federation towards a player after the World Cup final is controversial: “I did not like it” (VIDEO)
Since this episode, the behavior of the president of the Spanish Football Federation has been spied on from all sides. While Rubiales has since apologized, another video has caught the eye. On the Spanish goal, he is seen holding his genitals during the celebration. And this, a few meters from the Queen of Spain Letizia and her daughter Sofía. Inappropriate gestures that are not at all funny in Spain, where it looks like a state affair.
In particular with outgoing Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez who met the entire delegation on Tuesday. In front of the media, he did not spare the head of the RFEF. “The players did everything to win, but there were behaviors, like that of Mr. Rubiales, which remind us that there is still a long way to go,” he began.
Pedro Sanchez then continued to put pressure on the president. “What we have seen is unacceptable. Mr. Rubiales’ apologies are not enough. They are even inadequate. He must continue to take steps to clear up the situation.”
Would the only solution be to quit? “The Federation does not belong to the government. He is elected and dismissed by his associates. But this behavior does not correspond to what the majority of Spaniards think. His apologies are insufficient, he needs to be clearer and more forceful.”
The real problem is elsewhere: once again, we talk more about this subject rather than the victory of the women’s team. What the outgoing Prime Minister was quick to recall. “I want us to keep the good side of things because being world champions shows that we have great sportswomen and that women’s football is stronger, more supported and more recognized,” he concluded. .
Olga Carmona: “The best and the worst day of my life”
This Monday evening, the heroines were back home. In a poignant speech, Olga Carmona spoke of this historic victory which she dedicated to her father, who died before the World Cup final. “It was a special day for Spain, but also a very difficult day for me,” said Olga Carmona during the tribute in front of 20,000 people in Madrid. “It’s the best and the worst day of my life. But I am very happy that I was able to bring joy to this country.”
Olga’s father had been suffering from cancer since last year and died last Friday. Her friends and family wouldn’t break the news to her so she could focus on the biggest event of her career. His mother, also named Olga, and his brothers arrived in Sydney on Saturday and watched the final at Stadium Australia a day later. Heroine of a whole people, she scored the only goal of the match… before being informed by her family members of her father’s death.
The Spanish Football Federation has expressed deep regret over the death of Olga Carmona’s father. “We send our most sincere greetings to Olga and her family at this time of deep pain. We love you, Olga, you will always be part of the history of Spanish football”.
