BarcelonaWith almost no time to go over everything that happened in the previous call for the Spanish women’s national team, which took place at the end of September, Montse Tomé has given its second list, the great news of which has been the inclusion of Jenni beautiful The ex-Blaugrana was not part of the last call-up because at the time the new coach considered that, in this way, she was being protected after the Rubiales case, a consideration that upset Hermoso. “Protect me from what? Or from whom?”, he asked in a statement. Now, the situation is calmer after Oliva’s (Safor’s) agreements which led to the creation of a mixed commission made up of the players, the Superior Sports Council (CSD) and the RFEF with the aim of there are structural changes in the latter body.

“We talked to her [Hermoso] before summoning it. In the previous call I gave the explanation why I was not on that list. We made the decision to protect her, for her and for everyone. It was a special situation, there was a lot of human part. But all the decisions I make are sporting,” argued Montse Tomé about Hermoso in a press conference. “When that rally ended we got in touch with her. Now I consider that the situation has changed and I hope it will go even less,” he added.

On the other hand, in the list to play the two matches of the League of Nations at home against Italy on October 27 and against Switzerland on the 31st, the Blaugranas Mapi León and Patri Guijarro, the two players from the 15 who refused to go to the World Cup and who were called up on Tomé’s first list and forced to go to the concentration under threat of sanction if they didn’t. Afterwards, in meetings at untimely hours in Oliva between the players, the CSD and the RFEF, it was agreed that the footballers who wanted to leave the rally would not be sanctioned and Mapi León and Patri Guijarro chose this option because they were not “in condition ” to stay “In the previous list they were called up because they were part of the 23 that for us were the best for those two games. They gave us their opinion and we respect it. From then on, we didn’t hear anything about it more”, explained Tomé. Clàudia Pina has also not entered the list, who also refused to play in the World Cup and, at the end of September, was called up for the under-23 team and ended up leaving the concentration for the same reason.

Thus, there are seven Blaugranas in this new call: Cata Coll, Ona Batlle, Irene Paredes, Aitana Bonmatí, Alexia Putellas, Mariona Caldentey and the novelty of Salma Paralluelo, who did not enter the previous list because she was injured. But Maria Pérez, a Blaugrana player loaned to Sevilla, falls. Apart from Hermoso and Paralluelo, Ivana Andrés – the captain during the World Cup – and Esther González, injured in the last call-up, also return.

Hermoso’s last public appearance

The only time Jenni Hermoso has spoken about the Rubiales case in front of the media spotlight was on October 10, when she was honored by her current team, Pachuca, Mexico, at the International Soccer Hall of Fame. Hermoso read a text of thanks in which he referred to the events that occurred since the then president of the RFEF, Luis Rubiales, allegedly kissed him without consent during the medal ceremony on August 20 after the Spanish national team won the World Cup for the first time in its history.

“Even though it’s been a short time, I still wonder what we did that night. We won a title, we went around the world and we became one of the best teams in history, but deep down , we achieved something much more human, more transcendental – explained Hermoso – We were not world champions to lift a trophy that stays in the display cases, receive a compensation bonus or go out on thousands of covers that wrinkle with the time: we were world champions because it was the only way left for us to be heard, respected and valued,” he added.
