“I’m extremely proud to be from the neighborhood”: this is the modest area and apartment south of Madrid where Jenni Hermoso grew up and from which she did not want to move to Spain

Carabanchel witnessed the birth of a female soccer star. This is one of the 21 districts that make up the city of Madrid and it is exactly the same place where Jenni Hermoso, the 33-year-old soccer player who won the FIFA World Cup in Australia with her team, grew up.

From childhood he knew the passion for football and with the help of his grandfather he had contact with the sphere on the streets of the neighborhood south of the capital, a place he never wanted to leave and to which he always returns whenever he can, especially now that he plays in Mexico.

“I’m super proud to be from the neighborhood, those moments made me the soccer player I am today,” she told La 1 on August 20 shortly before the final match against England and whose title went to her country, the first victory for the women’s soccer team, La Razón recalls.

The Pachuca Femenil midfielder of Mexico’s Liga MX Femenil has now returned to his native Spain and his roots.

In the midst of all the controversy surrounding her name due to the involuntary kiss of Luis Rubiales, the suspended president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), journalists caught Jenni Hermoso as she was leaving an apartment complex in Carabanchel.

The footballer appeared calm as she walked to her vehicle accompanied by her brother Rafa, but very cautious when she spoke a few words to the press, as she only managed to hear “a lot, a lot” when asked if she was grateful for the shows of support he had received in the last few days, according to images broadcast by 20 Minutes.

Before this meeting with the press, the Europa Press camera was already under the surveillance of the family home where Hermoso grew up and where he touched the ball for the first time.

There was also his mother, Mrs. Marisol, who quickly ran away when she noticed the proximity of the journalists and while they were filming her. “We’re not going to say anything, forgive me, but no,” she said when asked about the Luis Rubiales problem, as seen in a video shared by Semana.

Jenni Hermoso’s mother refused to testify as she quickly tried to reach the interior of the building with large columns of what appeared to be red bricks, some of which were scratched with graffiti. Outside, she was accompanied by Andy, Jenni Hermoso’s pet and the clearest sign that he is a soccer player in Spain.

He did not admit whether Jenni was at home and whether he would talk to the press later, what is clear is the humble origins of the best scorer of “la roja”, who is now considered the third highest paid player in Spanish football, according to the press release. Vanity Fair. (AND)
