Spanish federation furious with women’s team: ‘This has never happened’ | Football

It goes according to Reuters about the way injuries are treated, the atmosphere in the dressing room, the team selection and the training sessions. A group of fifteen players is done with it, but the currently injured Barcelona Golden Ball winner Alexia Putellas does not belong to that group, just like veterans Irene Paredes and Jennifer Hermoso.

The Spanish Football Association RFEF is furious about the statement the fifteen have made to Vilda, a former youth player of Barcelona and Real Madrid. “This is unprecedented in the history of global football. The league will not give in to pressure from any player. After all, this is not up to them and this kind of harmful action exceeds the values ​​of football and sport in general. The federation will not pressure the players in any way and will no longer select them if they do not want to wear the Spain shirt. We will play with players who want to, although we have to set up a youth team.”

The players who have informed the association by email about their demand are only allowed to play for the national team again if they “recognize their mistake and ask for forgiveness.” Furthermore, RFEF emphasizes that this refusal to work is “a very serious violation that can result in a suspension of two to five years.”
