Carlos Alcaraz spoke for the first time this Tuesday on the ‘Rubiales case’ after their first-round match at the US Open. “I’m going to be honest: my opinion is that They are attitudes that a high position does not have to show», He said at a press conference about Luis Rubiales, the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, suspended from his duties by FIFA.
Alcaraz is probably the most important Spanish athlete at the moment, but the whole world has looked at Spain in the last ten days because of the scandal caused by the kiss that Rubiales gave him Jenni Hermoso, a soccer player for the Spanish women’s soccer team, in the awards ceremony after winning the World Cup in Australia.
“I have followed the matter,” acknowledged Alcaraz, who was in the US, preparing for the New York tournament while Spanish sports covered the front pages of the whole world due to the kiss and the management that Rubiales made of the scandal. “That it has come this far says the magnitude of what it is”said the Murcian about the matter, which has agitated public opinion and politics in Spain.
Like many in Spain and abroad, Alcaraz regretted that the extraordinary victory of the women’s team, which had never gone past the round of 16 in an international competition, had been covered up by the mess that formed around Rubiales’ kiss to Hermoso.
“Hopefully it will be resolved soon,” defended the number one in the world. «The women’s team has made a historic achievement And that he hasn’t been given as much credit for what he’s been through is a shame.”
Alcaraz had been interested in the phenomenal performance of the women’s team in the World Cup. After winning her semifinal at the Cincinnati tournament, she wrote a message of support for the players on the viewfinder of one of the cameras on the track: “Come on, girls, go for the World Cup, long live Spain!” Later, a few hours before the final between Spain and England, she shared a video on X (the social network formerly known as Twitter) in support of the National Team. And, after the historic victory, she congratulated them: “Come on! Congratulations champions! Pride of Spain ».
The Murcian shared his opinion at a time when many Spanish sports figures, especially within men’s football itself, have chosen to remain silent.
