"We are not for bullshit": Rubiales silences criticism for his controversial kiss to Jenni Hermoso after Spain's victory in the World Cup

Spain conquered the football Olympus in Sydney against England. Olga Carmona's goal, which made both those present and the spectators vibrate, gave victory to a women's team that finally won its first Women's World Cup, leaving the most exciting moments.

However, there were also spontaneous gestures that have generated great controversy. We are talking about the kiss that Luis Rubiales gave Jennifer Hermoso on the mouth during the delivery of trophies to the world champions. Faced with the controversy formed, Rubiales has wanted to downplay it and silence criticism.

It all happened when the trophies were delivered to the Spanish National Team. In the box of authorities, apart from Queen Letizia and her daughter, the Infanta Sofía, was also Luis Rubiales, the president of the Federation.

At one point, when Rubiales saw Jenni Hermoso, he hugged her very affectionately and, holding her face in his hands, gave her a big kiss on the lips with a smile from ear to ear, and then let her pass with a pat on the back. .

Jennifer Hermoso's reaction was immediate. While she celebrated her triumph in the locker room, she conveyed her opinion about Rubiales' kiss through a direct on her Instagram account. "I didn't like it, huh? You only have to look at me, ”she expressed frankly when a member of the technical team asked her about it.

Between laughs, they asked him if the kiss included a tongue kiss. Despite the jokes, the RFEF president's gesture generated controversy, criticism and divided opinions.

So much so that social networks were flooded with comments regarding Hermoso's video, which underline the lack of respect in Rubiales' gesture. Some of the comments include: “It is unacceptable no matter how much she wants to downplay it”, “Rubiales is very disgusting”, “Unheard of”, “I thought they were friends, but no; she has planted a kiss for his balls ", and" So that she does not eat the noses of the guys one by one when they win ".

Hours later, Rubiales made statements in this regard both on Radio Marca and on the program El Partidazo on the Cope network. “The kiss with Jenni? Idiots are everywhere. When two people have an insignificant show of affection, we cannot pay attention to nonsense. We are champions and that's what I'm staying with,” he explained to Pablo Parra.

And, before the microphones of Juanma Castaño, he said about the controversy formed: “Let's not pay attention to the idiots and the stupid, really. It's a peak of two friends celebrating something... we're not for bullshit. Me, with everything I've been through, more bullshit and more assholes... no”.

And he added wanting to downplay it: “Let's ignore it and enjoy the good and don't even tell me things about losers who don't know how to see the positive... It's something without evil. If there are fools, let them continue with their nonsense. There are more fools than windows. We are going to pay attention to those who are not stupid... It is something without evil and nonsense, if people want to waste time on it...".
