Jorge Vildain a solo appearance before the media -Patri Guijarro, Irene Paredes and Jenni Hermoso did it later-, repeated his disappointment with what happened after the captains asked Luis Rubiales his dismissal. “I have a feeling of disappointment and I am hurt by the way of proceeding. What happens in the locker room You have to stay in the locker room. I am a person of dialogue and I am always ready to talk”, said the women’s coach in his first words.

Have you considered resigning?

Vilda was asked if she had considered resigning. “I have a lot of strength, it is a privilege to be in the Spanish team and we will continue to build, not only the senior team. Of course we can improve, but the players and I have a great coaching staff by our side . We are at the forefront of women’s football and I have all the strength, I have never seen a team that plays like us”

What did you discuss in the meeting with the players?

“What happens in private conversations remains there, but we are people who listen and have clear beliefs. We are not arrogant and we can attend to issues that can be improved and with us”

“I see myself with the ability to redirect the situation to the players, They are convinced of what we are doing. In the next World Cup we want to go far, achieve milestones that have never been achieved, like beating Germany for the first time. I think we can”

“The players on the field tell me that they are fighting for a position and we have to be attentive to the players who wear this shirt and defend it 100%. So far, no player has told me that they do it’s theirs. i don’t want it”

Not so good atmosphere in the European Championship

“I see being a senior coach with a sports director totally compatible, it happens in other parts of the world. I am always open to talking and accepting requests. With the players, there is always dialogue, we even debate, and it is always works up to this European Championship.The environment he is good at preparing for the Euro and less so when competition comes, but not what was said. There are things that are not true

The results of the selection

“We also have that feeling (of disappointment) because we didn’t pass the quarterfinals in the European Championship but in the last two years we won all the games. The team has been growing since 2017, when we played in the first Euro. In world the draw was different and we played against the United States in the round of 16. In this European Championship there were certain mistakes and I am responsible for them but I am not guilty of many things that were said”

Why was the press conference not combined?

“I don’t control who leaves and who doesn’t, in the end there is a communication department that manages it. One day I authoritarianothers soft… many things have been published that are not true. I am angry that all these issues in the media have overshadowed the success of the sub-20″
