Alexia Putellas spoke to the media this Sunday after the training session Choosing Spanish and before traveling early this afternoon to Córdoba. Asked what level of confidence Montse Tomé has in the locker room and if he will leave after these two games, the midfielder said: “I don’t know, I just know that a lot of things are being said and a lot of them are really stupid. We are professionals and “both in training and in games we always try to do our best. We respect everyone’s work.”

Those who did not understand what they were asking asked: “Everything is clear. If you want, there are two things. First, zero tolerance for everything that the world has seen and what has not been seen, because it cannot be discussed, and then are structural changes because women’s football has not been on the RFEF’s priority list for many years.” Alexia wants to give examples: “Preparing for the Euro qualification, the day before a match we had to get on a plane at three in the morning, a strain that is not normal for elite athletes. We don’t believe that it is related or normal to do That is when the next day you have to compete to be in a Euro Cup,” he said.

“There are many examples like that. In a tournament in February before the Euro, against high-level teams, they moved by plane between the places and you had to spend six hours on the bus. You don’t start in the same conditions.”

About Jenni Hermososaid that “we know what he gave us and we had to fight for him, he gave us a lot and we won’t let him down, we had the strength to make sure it doesn’t happen again and that. he won’t feel that he he is alone.”

Regarding the removal of Jorge Vilda and the opinion of many people who think that the players expelled him, that Mollet del Vallès said: “The Federation has decided.” “Our responsibility is to report everything that happened. We convey all our concerns and then the RFEF makes the decision.” “Whether you mean technically valid or not, we haven’t decided that yet.” “There is an open trial. I understand that people want details but there are things that cannot be explained.”

“What has bothered us the most? The lack of respect. I’m not speaking for myself, it’s quite indifferent to me. Lack of respect towards our profession. There are invented things to harm. I am very calm but it makes me angry because damaged our profession and can influence the women who follow us in their dreams.

As for whether she is optimistic about what seems to be a new situation, Alexia said that “considering that we came from where we came from, systematic discrimination, what was done was a solid step, a step forward. The meeting “gives strength and lays the foundations.”
