Five Alhama players who have preferred to remain anonymous have conveyed to the Europa Press agency their "disappointment" with the rest of their teammates and confirm that they have seen "barbarities", suffered "harassments", been "humiliated" or felt "fear". The five players are not among the signatories of the statement that 17 Alhama players disseminated through EFE nor among the 15 that appeared in a video, all of them denying the existence of such practices by the coach, Juan Antonio Randri García.
According to the testimonies that the players have sent to Europa Press, they felt they were in "a prison and in a dictatorship." And regarding the reasons that led them not to denounce, one of them hides behind the difficulty of doing so "when your harasser He is your boss, with influence in the entire club and part of the town". Of course, when the time comes "I will be the first to condemn facts that are lies and to raise my voice loudly to tell the atrocities that I have heard, suffered and seen".
"The players have been put in a very difficult situation, not only because of this type of attitude but also trying to manipulate them and extract information from them," says another, who also accuses the club of having promoted "the creation of the statement by the players". A statement that, in his opinion, "corroborates the coercion that exists here. They have suffered insults, harassment, lack of respect and contempt. And with the fact that it was with just one person, it is more than enough reason." , sentence.
Another player claims to have been "on the edge of the unimaginable", that they had "warned her about Randri's oddities" and that "the first months were the worst. He even said that we had not come here to flirt", which made her feeling "signaled for prejudice or devalued as a player".
"I came to training scared," says a third soccer player. "I have been yelled at, humiliated, ridiculed and disrespected," says another, while the fifth testimony emphasizes "the damage and discomfort that this situation has created for us is not going to disappear."
He also talks about how they have "separated and divided" and that "they have created factions themselves." "That the club has informed the players of said statement from the beginning is further proof that they continually condition us because it was confidential," she argues, "disappointed because the people you support in those difficult days have lacked courage , sorority and values" and because they "have felt the same or worse" than her. "I got tired of feeling like this and now I just want to do justice with the truth ahead," she settles.
Finally, the fifth affected by this situation considers it "very complicated" to explain everything that she has experienced within the club, where she has experienced "uncomfortable moments" that pushed her to "not want to play football." "The damage and discomfort that this situation has created for us and that even remembering it makes me feel is not going to disappear, but it seemed important to make it visible so that it does not happen to more girls," she concludes.
