There are many moments lived together. The national team players touched the sky in Sydney and then lived one of the hardest moments of their lives. Jenni Hermoso She suffered an abuse of power, and her companions experienced it as their own.. Because, with these acts, not only the Madrid soccer player was violated, but all the players and women in society. This is how they have understood it. And for this reason, Alexia says, they have raised their voices.
“It has been very difficult,” he confesses. Misa Rodriguez, goalkeeper for the national team and Real Madrid, and one of Jenni’s best friends in the locker room. “Your head is somewhere else. I have experienced everything with Jenni, from what happened in the medals to today. I empathize a lot with her. There are things that are not known and that are very strong, but that we cannot tell because there is an open judicial process. Everything that Jenni has experienced is very strong. And we are people, friends. Everything that she is experiencing hurts me a lot. At the end of the day, it hurts,” Misa sincerely acknowledges, who has experienced what happened almost firsthand.
Jenni, despite not being present at the call, is one more in the negotiations and is always in the conversations that are causing a purge in the Federation. “Jenni is aware of everything. I personally talk to her every day. I explain to her how the situation is and she understands it. It’s a shame I can’t be here. She would have liked to come. But hey, let’s hope she comes back in the future,” adds Misa, who claims that the Madrid striker was not called up and that they lied about it being a consensual gesture.
Jenni, always present
“These days we have overcome them thinking a lot about her [Jenni]”, says Alexia Putellas, with whom she has shared a dressing room for many years. “We have known her for many years. We know what she has given us and what she is like. We couldn’t leave her alone and we had to draw strength from wherever. It is a very complicated situation and as the days go by it has become much more complicated. There is also an open judicial process, which none of us are used to. That also brings stress. It was about empathizing a lot with our partner. And we had the strength and energy to fight. So that what has happened never happens again. “We wanted her to be calm and not feel alone.”he confesses with a half smile when talking about Jenni.
Focusing on the ball again has been difficult for the entire locker room. “Facing this concentration we are all doing a mental exercise, not to put it aside, but every day we want to do our best for it. Every victory is because of Jenni“adds the goalkeeper, who is satisfied with the fight that the footballers have undertaken and that it is causing profound changes in the RFEF. “I talked about it with Jenni and told her: if you are going through it and we are seeing it for you, I don’t want to imagine the number of women who suffer from it every day. They suffer what we have practically suffered, Jenni and everyone in this locker room.. Steps are being taken. That scourge still exists today, but it is true that we have achieved one more boost so that this series of acts does not continue to occur.”
The name of Jenni Hermoso is present in the day-to-day life of the team. The woman from Madrid, who has not been summoned, is still immersed in a judicial process after the non-consensual kiss she received from Rubiales at the medal ceremony in the World Cup final. The events and everything that happened afterwards has been a tsunami that has flooded the national team’s locker room, which has united like never before to confront these actions and has emerged as a reference in the feminist struggle.
