The “forced kiss” given to the player Jenni Hermoso by the boss of the Spanish Federation Luis Rubiales was “the straw that broke the camel’s back”, estimated this Saturday the former captain of the national team Veronica Boquete in an interview with AFP-TV.
“It’s the straw that broke the camel’s back, because to get there, in front of the eyes of the whole world, it means that, when there are no cameras, when there is no one other, when it’s not the final of a World Cup, a lot of other things happen, which we normalize and let pass when it shouldn’t be the case, “says the player 36, who plays in Italy at Fiorentina.
Captain of the selection, she was dismissed in 2017 for having denounced the supervision and the incompetence, according to her, of the coach Jorge Vilda, who has just won the World Cup with Spain despite the tensions between him and his players.
“In the national team, says Boquete, if you complained and wanted to improve things, the one who was in charge did not listen to you and very often, you paid the consequences, which were the exclusion of the national team, adds- she. So it also caused the fear of the consequences.”
“it’s a constant war”
Denouncing more broadly the treatment reserved for women in professional football, the striker with 56 selections remarks: “Almost always, in the world of football, the people who are there are men, and they always have a fairly macho mentality. So it’s a constant war. We need people who work for us (the women) and who want to do it, and not because it is an obligation”.
A few minutes after the world title of La Roja, on August 20 in Sydney, Luis Rubiales kissed on the mouth by surprise the N.10 Jenni Hermoso, causing international indignation. He has since been suspended by Fifa for 90 days, while the Spanish Administrative Court for Sport (TAD) opened disciplinary proceedings against him for “serious misconduct”.
