The coach of the Spanish soccer team Montse Tomé He stated this Thursday that She does not feel that the players of the Spanish team do not love the coaching staff that she heads in the performance of the position that she has begun to exercise.. Tomé made these statements in Göteborg, Sweden, where Spain is going to play a Nations League match this Friday. In that same press conference, Irene Paredes, one of the soccer players summoned by Tomé this week, acknowledged that the Higher Sports Council (CSD) “has come in forcefully”, but, she pointed out, “we have felt alone”; Alexia Putellas has also appeared before the press, who has highlighted that the players do not add or remove “anyone.”
Thus, Montse Tomé has insisted that the crisis unleashed in the Spanish national team “is something that escapes professional and sporting matters”, and that she “always” wanted to “protect and help” the footballers, because ” “They’ve had a bad time.”
“It is true that everything we have experienced and have been experiencing is serious, it is something that goes beyond the professional and sporting aspects. In that assessment, we all know what happened on the day of the final. We should be celebrating an incredible victory, and “What happened was very unpleasant. I classify that as something outside of sports,” said Tomé, who saw Jenni Hermoso “suffer” after Luis Rubiales’ kiss at the medal ceremony in the final, although he pointed out that everything “it got mixed up” in the following days: “My intention was always to help; I am a coach, but I feel like a player and, above all, a person,” she added.
“What has come out is that if the players don’t love us, I don’t feel that way, I haven’t heard it from them. It’s something we have to take care of, compare the information a little, make sure that’s true. We can all make mistakes, but we all We must be professionals,” he said.
For the coach, her first list and all the subsequent controversy “has been a failure in interpretation”, regarding whether she communicated with the soccer players to tell them that they were selected: “I said that I spoke with players, not with all of them, no one told me “He asked if I had spoken to everyone. I said, and I repeat, that I was not going to say who I had spoken to or what we had talked about,” he said.
For its part, the Guipuzcoan player of the Spanish team Irene Paredes has explained that they were “forced” to enter this week’s call for the Nations League matches, but they agreed to stay and listen to the Higher Sports Council, which entered “forcefully”, in search of the changes they have been asking for. “discrimination” against women in the Spanish Football Federation.
“The other day, we did not want to come. We had decided, after various conversations, that we could not come, that it was not the time, and we were forced to come. We came forced, and we agreed to have some meetings. From there, we made the decision to stay. Among the things that were agreed upon was not to be sanctioned, and we made the decision to stay; not because we were comfortable, but because it is what we have to do, so that the agreements and this move forward,” he said.
Another of the soccer players, Alexia Putellas, has stated that the players of the Spanish team do not add or remove anyone, and that they have “never” requested the dismissal of any employee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation. “We have conveyed concerns and concepts with which the locker room did not feel comfortable, transferring all the information to the appropriate person, but the coach and the sports director were the same person (Jorge Vilda). We always go head-to-head, we fight for transparent football and we cannot help but be that way,” she said.
