There is no talk of anything else: the Spanish women's soccer team took the trophy that gives them the title of world champions last Sunday. Olga Carmona's goal managed to win the first women's World Cup in this country. However, it seems that this victory has been marred by a controversy that has not gone unnoticed.
During the delivery of trophies in the field, where Queen Letizia and Infanta Sofía attended, the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, could not avoid kissing one of the players on the mouth: Jennifer Hermoso . The soccer player, who did not expect this gesture, spoke minutes later through an Instagram direct, assuring that she had not liked it.
This kiss, which caught Jennifer Hermoso completely off guard, has caused a stir on social networks, even leading some deputies and political parties to speak out, condemning the facts. This has meant that the milestone of the players, by becoming world champions, remains in the background, both among society, and in the majority of headlines.
Given this, the player's mother, Marisol Fuentes, is clear about it, and does not want to allow this to happen. "I just want to say that the important thing is that they are world champions and the rest is not important. That's it. Now you have to see that they are world champions," he stated emphatically in La hora de la 1. "You don't have to focus on these things. Nothing else", he added.
After making her position clear, Hermoso's mother has assured that she "really wants to hug her" and that she will not miss the arrival of the players at the airport: "Of course, we are the first there."
On the other hand, despite the fact that they have tried to focus attention on the victory, Rubiales has not been able to stop speaking out about it in his interviews on El Partidazo and Radio Marca. "The kiss with Jenni? There are idiots everywhere. When two people have an insignificant show of affection, we cannot pay attention to idiocy. We are champions and that's what I'll take," he explained.
The player Jennifer Hermoso, who at first claimed not to have liked what happened, seems to have decided to back off minutes later. The Royal Spanish Football Federation sent a statement to the EFE agency containing statements by the footballer.
"It has been a mutual gesture, totally spontaneous due to the immense joy that winning a World Cup gives. The president and I have a great relationship, his behavior with all of us has been excellent and it was a natural gesture of affection and gratitude," he began. relate. In addition, he wanted to focus on the victory and not on the controversy: "You can not go around a gesture of friendship and gratitude, we have won a World Cup and we are not going to deviate from what is important."
