Jenni Hermoso said that the federation’s decision to call up nearly half of the 39 players who said they would not play for the national team as a protest was ‘irrefutable proof’ that ‘nothing has changed’
Some of Spain’s World Cup-winning players started reporting to training camp on Tuesday despite not wanting to be called up for the national team while fighting for changes in the soccer federation.
Hermoso, who said she did not consent to the kiss during the awards ceremony, accused the federation of trying to intimidate the players by picking them for the national team even though they asked not to be called up. Tome said she talked to Hermoso and to the other players, and said she was confident that they would all report to training camp on Tuesday.
“We ask the federation to fix the inadequacies of this anomalous call-up and to change the federative structures so that it becomes a space of security, competitiveness and professionalism to which the players and all Spaniards are entitled to,” Iceta told local media. “What you can’t do is to continue committing injustices and harming players who have given their best and earned a world title for the first time in history.
“The people who now ask us to trust them are the same ones who disclosed the list of players who have asked NOT to be called up,” Hermoso said. “The players are certain that this is yet another strategy of division and manipulation to intimidate and threaten us with legal repercussions and economic sanctions.”
