The former president of the RFEF insists that Jenni Hermoso “lies” and believes that the internationals acted as “revenge” against him and Vilda
MADRID, 13 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) Luis Rubiales believes that what happened with his kiss to Jenni Hermoso after the World Cup final served to cause “very little to be said in Spain about other, much more important things” related to the national politics, while he insists that the forward “lies” and believes that the internationals took advantage of everything that happened to take “ahead” both him and the former coach Jorge Vilda, whose “head” they had already asked for when the conflict arose after the Euro 2022.
“My case, for two or three months, is highly explainable to, in some way, justify that little was said about other things. There was a lot of talk about mine and very ‘little’ about other much more important things,” Rubiales said in an interview on Alvise Pérez’s ‘YouTube’ channel.
The former leader also spoke of having suffered both he and former selector Jorge Vilda “blackmail by certain footballers” who asked him to fire the coach after the events that took place in September 2022. “They told me to fire Vidal,” cut off his head,'” he assured, emphasizing that “they lie” if they deny it, “just as some are lying now” in relation to everything that happened with Jenni Hermoso.
“They asked me directly, in a conversation. I’ll tell you, but they wanted his head. With Jorge we have been world champions, champions because we are also champions of the Women’s World Cup and I think they saw the sky open with this opportunity and said that With this theater they took Jorge Vilda and Rubiales ahead,” he continued.
Rubiales sees clearly that everything that happened “was revenge.” “What happens is that there are some people who are bad, others who are cowards and others who cannot be demanded because they have been there for a short time, but I certainly believe that an opportunity has been seen. When they say that it is that changes must be made “Structural structures, whether they or some politician say so, lie. I left the RFEF with 27 million in women’s football and I took it with 2.7, and we have dedicated a lot,” he stressed.
Regarding what happened with the kiss he gave Jenni Hermoso after the World Cup final, he insisted that it was not “good” and that he was wrong, but that “it was a product of spontaneity”, that there was “nothing of a sexual nature” and that it was “consented.” “It’s a kiss like the one I would have given to my daughter or the lottery winner the day I won the lottery, and there was also trust,” he noted.
“And there is a version that coincides with the truth and another that does not, I am telling the truth,” warned Rubiales, who reported that his daughters “heard” the Madrid forward that it had been “a kiss between two friends” and that he did not He had “put pressure” on her after seeing the commotion that was being created.
In this sense, he defended that there was a video that could prove the latter and that it was in the possession of FIFA, the body that has disqualified him for three years and whose president, Gianni Infantino, he attacked. “You just have to watch him play football to realize what football means to his life. He has joined the demagoguery of everything that has ever existed. They are going to delete that video, what’s more, when they see it, they are going to delete it. to ask (in court) they will have erased it,” he explained.
“Jenni Hermoso knows that she is lying. A totally false story has been created here by some who have taken advantage of it to put people they wanted, like Jorge Vilda and me, out of the federation,” stressed the former leader.
A POLITICIAN ON THE PLANE TOLD HIM THAT THE KISS WAS “A BS”
He also regretted that Víctor Francos, president of the CSD, and Borja Semper, of the PP, who were on the plane back from Australia, changed their minds when “they had the same version”, something that did not happen with Vicente Barrera, of VOX. “I give my word that the three said, each in their own style, that it was a question of the demagoguery of the extreme left, that I should not worry, that it was perfectly clear that there was that relationship and that it was something spontaneous between the two. It is Furthermore, one of them directly said it’s bullshit,” he said.
“Then, when we landed, two of them changed and Vicente Barrera remained and told me ‘Look Luis, it hasn’t been good, it hasn’t been good, but based on that you haven’t killed anyone.’ This man, regardless of whether he is from “VOX or any other political party has not shown me two faces,” said the former soccer player.
He also complained about leaks during the trial by the Prosecutor when the information is “of a reserved nature” and about “the pressure” exerted by the Minister of Culture and Sports, Miquel Iceta, and Víctor Francos on the Administrative Court of Sports, “saying what they wanted them to sentence.”
“I have lost other things that I loved because I love football and the truth is that I think we were doing a magnificent job in the federation,” Rubiales confessed about his departure from the RFEF, a place where he suffered “a hunt” since he became in 2018 in his president, although he is clear that he is “an honest person” and “no one will ever be able to prove otherwise.” “I have not used a euro from the federation improperly,” he stated.
