The kiss without consent from Luis Rubiales to Jenni Hermoso has triggered an infinite number of reactions from all walks of life, until it became the most important topic of conversation (even ahead of the investiture). However, the world of men’s football has maintained a resounding silence about the event and has not adhered to the comments that have been expressed by the players, both Spanish and international.
Not even players with Borja Iglesias or Héctor Bellerín, used to expressing their opinion on political and social issues, have taken a step forward with this issue. However, the new day of LaLiga opens a stage for questions to main players such as Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid.
“IT IS NOT THE BEHAVIOR OF A FEDERAL PRESIDENT”
After the first rigorous question, carried out by the official television of the white club, came the question about the Rubiales incident, which could cost him the position at the head of the RFEF. “It is a very delicate subject. As a citizen that I am and like most people, it is a behavior that I did not like at all. But not at all. It was not the behavior of a president of a federation”, argued the white coach.
The Italian made these statements in the run-up to the match against Celta (Friday, 9.30pm). The coach of the Galician team, Rafa Benítez has also received a question about what happened in the World Cup final. The trainer has regretted that this “it has obscured what is truly important” which is the first Spanish women’s soccer World Cup.
“We all agree that we saw behavior that was not correct and now it is the competent authorities who must make decisions”, said Benítez. Although he was not on the agenda for Jagoba Arrasate’s appearance ahead of the Conference League game against Brugge, l’health is one of the teams in favor of the dismissal of Rubialesalthough it is currently a private comment.
Getafe and Real Sociedad are asking for his resignation
Internal sources of the club assure that the club is in favor of the departure of the president of a Federation that is holding an extraordinary assembly this Friday. An emergency meeting which as points of the day does not have in any case the continuity of Rubiales and which has a reaffirmation character. FC Barcelona manifests itself in a similar sense.
As reported by ‘El Periódico’, from Prensa Ibérica, the Blaugrana entity “expects and wishes” that Rubiales “gives the appropriate explanations on Friday” and considers the actions of the highest representative of the Federation as “improper for the position”. The first president of the First Division to speak publicly was Ángel Torres, who called for the resignation of the leader of the RFEF.
“What Rubiales has to do is resign. His behavior has been deplorable. He cannot continue for one more minute as president of the Federation and if he does not resign you have to intervene Pedro Sanchez to sanction him and proceed with his disqualification», claimed Getafe’s top manager.
He joined it Jokin Aperribay, president of the Royal Society, who assured that “the events were very serious, as was the image of the highest official of Spanish football throughout the celebration. It’s a serious, deep mistake and he must resign, it cannot be that this discussion is not over yet». In addition, the president of Real assured that he will not attend the extraordinary meeting. Meanwhile, the president of LaLiga has limited himself to posting a tweet with the message “rain on wet”, with reference to the multiple causes accumulated by Rubiales.

“I DON’T UNDERSTAND THE SILENCE OF THE CLUBS”
As for ex-footballers, Iker Casillas, who in 2020 studied the idea of challenging him for the position of president of the RFEF, he posted the following message: “Let me find out: has someone resigned or not? That I’m lost…” Very unfortunate was the comment of Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, former German international, who justified Rubiales. “You shouldn’t exaggerate. When you proclaim yourself world champion, you get excited. EWhat he did there was ‘ok’. When we won the Champions last time, i got to kiss mennot in the mouth, but of joy”, said who until recently was the CEO of Bayern.
Let’s see that I find out: so has someone resigned or not? What am I missing… pic.twitter.com/Upt2DnVHlV

The territorial silence was broken by the Basque Football Federation, which made public the decision not to attend the meeting “in view of the seriousness of what happened at the World Cup trophy presentation and the subsequent management of the events”. In the extraordinary assembly of the RFEF to be held this Friday, 140 members will be represented, including clubs, players and referees, both in football and futsal.

According to the attendees, committed to how Rubiales can act, “the territorials are the Praetorian guard of the president. They are bought. I don’t understand the silence of clubs and footballers in the face of what has happened. We have reported and we know that if Rubiales continues he will hang us. But we must have zero tolerance”, Manuel Camino, president of the Sant Andreu EU, said firmly to Onda Cero. A Second RFEF team whose fate depends directly on the Federation, like others who will be in the extraordinary meeting, which will be attended by professional and semi-professional entities.
