The director of the Spanish men’s team, Albert Luque, will have to testify on October 10 at the National Court. He is accused of trying to coerce player Jenni Hermoso into supporting Luis Rubiales’ version of the non-consensual kiss during the World Cup trophy presentation. He will do so as an investigator, despite the fact that he was initially summoned as a witness.
This change of mind occurred after the statements of Hermoso’s brother, who assured the judge that Luque had tried to pressure the soccer player to change her version both on the return trip from Sydney and on the subsequent stay in Ibiza. where the world champions celebrated their victory between August 22 and 25.
Precisely, this Thursday, the newspaper ‘El Mundo’ reveals a conversation between Luque and a close friend of Hermoso that occurred during the players’ stay in Ibiza. Luque went there, with the intention of having a meeting with the victim, who refused to assist him. As seen in the published WhatsApp messages, Luque ‘paid’ his frustration of not being received by Hermoso with this woman, whom he had previously asked for help with the meeting.
«It seems so unfair, so unfair, what is being done to Luis (Rubiales). “I find Jenni’s attitude so humanly base… So little empathy and humanity,” the manager wrote to Hermoso’s friend. To soften the tone of the message and convince the woman to arrange a meeting with Jenni, Luque conveyed to her that he addressed her as “Albert” and “not as Federación.” And the director of the national team insisted on getting the match. “Not receiving the RFEF sports director and friend for two minutes?” He wrote. He even begged for “a simple gesture” to “take away” Rubiales the “biggest brown of his life.”
But the decision of Hermoso and his entourage had been made: he would speak out through his representation agency. So it was. “I only wish him that life gives him back what he is unfairly making a person pay,” Luque reproached her friend. Immediately afterwards, she apologized to the manager: «Jenni’s agency was in charge of issuing the statement. My role here was to maintain Jenni’s peace of mind during a few days of rest that she had to enjoy after everything she had experienced and achieved. “I’m sorry if the result is not what you would have liked, but this has gotten so far away that it is out of my hands personally.”
Hermoso’s friend ended the conversation by demanding Luque’s understanding: “She is in a very difficult situation, as a friend you have to understand her (…). I am surprised by your words about wishing Jenni ill when you told me that you have been friends for so long and that you did not take a position on the side of either of them.
