Luis Rubiales continues to be one of the great protagonists of today. On August 20, the Spanish Women's Soccer Team won the World Cup held in Australia and New Zealand, thanks to a spectacular left-footed shot by Olga Carmona against the England team.
But the historic day for women's soccer was marred by Luis Rubiales, president of the Spanish Soccer Federation, kissing player Jennifer Hermoso without consent during the awards ceremony in the final. After refusing to resign, FIFA has temporarily suspended him from his position as president of the Royal Football Federation and has prohibited his communication with the Madrid player.
For now, Rubiales' future is in the hands of the Sports Administrative Court, which is studying the complaints against the president, to decide whether he should continue in command or, on the contrary, resign. The decision is imminent and in a matter of hours we will be able to know the resolution. But until then, new information about the president's alleged irregularities comes to light.
An example of this are the new statements made by the former Antena 3 reporter and Luis Rubiales' uncle, Juan Rubiales, to El Confidencial, where he wanted to distance himself from the position of the RFEF president by showing all his support for Jennifer from Madrid. Beautiful.
The former head of Rubiales' Cabinet assured in an interview with El Confidencial that although he did not imagine that his nephew would end up this way, he was sure that at some point he would fall, since "he did not have the size to be President of the Federation. The former Antena 3 reporter explained that his nephew had used the Federation for his own benefit. ''He is a proud, arrogant person and his great enemy is himself,'' he assured.
Juan Rubiales began working with his nephew when he was elected as president of the Federation. While he was working as a journalist on Antena 3, Rubiales called her to be his chief of staff. This is how Juan Rubiales put aside his vocation in the media to work side by side with his nephew.
"He is a man obsessed with power, obsessed with luxury, obsessed with money, even with women," Rubiales' uncle asserted. In addition, he affirmed that his niece wanted to feel like someone important, with money and that is why, a year after reaching the position, she bought a penthouse in Madrid worth two million euros. ''His big enemy of his is him and he can't blame anyone. His arrogance, his arrogance, his overbearing attitude,'' he confessed.
He also stressed that along the way he had met people who "had danced the water" and who were always repeating the phrase "it is better to be scared than disgusting." Juan Rubiales claimed that his nephew had submitted to the Federation during his mandate and that the workers had lived in "fear."
