Xabi Alonso nor did he slip the question from reporters yesterday when, asked at the press conference before the Europa League match against Swedish BK Hacken about the delicate and the media ‘Case of the Rubiales’ and all the consequences arising from it, responded clearly and with a clear position in this matter… in defense of the players of choice.
“First of all, it is wonderful that the Swedish national team supports the important process of change that is taking place in Spanish women’s football. Until now, Spanish players have been fighting for their rights with full legitimacy. It has been They are only an agreement on a “series of important changes in the Spanish federation. It is important that these changes have happened in Spanish football and in Spanish society, because of the behavior we have seen in the past and have not been isolated,” said the former Madrid player yesterday.
Alonso believes, however, that there is much to be done in this regard: “Yes, there is still an imbalance in the Spanish Football Federation, but every day we see that women’s football is gaining more and more importance . It’s good for football and it’s good for society. We need equality. This is the first step, but it’s a very important step.”
The former midfielder maintains that “sometimes good things come from uncomfortable situations. I’m sorry for what the Spanish players went through after becoming world champions. We talked about a lot more than their great performance. They fought for in important things. “My daughters will benefit and enjoy in the future what the Spanish women fought for today, and remember that they are world champions.”
