The earthquake within the Spanish women’s team leaves a scenario of difficult solutions. Here are ten keys to understanding conflict.
1. Tense environment
After several months of tension, the atmosphere could not breathe in the final concentration of the selection. The players understood that they had to take a step forward.
2. Sports and personal reasons
The players do not agree with Jorge Vilda’s way of preparing the matches and managing the players’ calls and minutes, especially because of the risk of injuries, as well as the technical decisions, even the trigger is the excessive control to which they are subjected , which they see as an insane legacy from Ignacio Quereda.
3. No titles
The players do not understand why the best generation in history has not won the title and are looking for excellence for the 2023 World Cup.
4. They do not demand his dismissal
As reiterated by the 15 signing players, in the face of this unsustainable situation, Jorge Vilda’s head was not requested, but a change in the management of women’s football.
5. Vilda, supreme power
Jorge Vilda is not only the coach of Women’s Absolute, but also the technical director of women’s football.
6. They don’t give up on choice
The players repeated their requests to the RFEF but, due to their impatience, they decided to send an email on Thursday the 15th to the Federation to request “not to be called” for reasons of “health” and “emotional that state”. However, they never decided to give up playing.
7. A leaked email
One of the issues that bothers players the most is that this email was leaked to the media. They consider the RFEF to have done it, although the entity has flatly denied it.
8. The Federation demands an apology
The RFEF contacted the 15 players who asked not to be called that they can only return “if they recognize their mistake and ask for forgiveness” and remember that “this is an unprecedented situation in the history of football”. The director of women’s football, Ana Álvarez, warned that “an obstacle has been crossed.”
9. Penalties of two to five years
The Disciplinary Code of the Federation punishes failure to attend a selection call with suspension or removal of license from two to five years.
10. Vilda is still ‘untouchable’
Now the ball is in the RFEF’s court, although he will not make any announcements and repeats his idea: Vilda is untouchable and will go to the World Cup.
