FC Barcelona women’s midfielder Patri Guijarro, who he gave up playing in the World Cup and that at the moment he has not played again with the Spanish team, he said in an interview with the ‘Tot Costa’ program, on Catalunya Ràdio, that “It’s unfortunate that things happened such as happened to move forward”, in reference to the ‘Rubiales Case’ and all the decisions made in the federation as a consequence.
After giving up the World Cup and having abandoned concentration of the selection after the call where he and Mapi León were joined by the new coach, Montse Tomé, Patri confirmed that “I don’t consider myself to be summoned, I’m not available. My position is quite clear, me and seven other colleagues and thirteen in one year. It was a tough call, but we made the right decision, because things have changed, but not everything. He asserted that “there are still things that must be changed, let’s hope that with the mixed commission things will end up changing.”
He explained that “in the World Cup there were small changes, and, by chance, they won. But in the structure of women’s football, when it comes to the sports director, things are lacking. We’re not good at concentration because of some things you have to change.”
He affirmed that he followed the World Cup “as much as possible” and noted that if Rubiales’ papers had not been lost “It’s sad to say, but we will definitely be the same. “It’s unfortunate that something like this had to happen to get to this point.” And he pointed out that “I feel bad for the players and for Jenny, who is the victim, but it’s unfortunate that this has to happen to make changes.”
After its adjustment, explaining that “since I arrived It was always my dream to stay for many years, many titles, many experiences and I grew here as a person and a player.” He assured that “It is quite clear that I will continue. Markel and I arrived the same year, we know each other very well, everything went well and safe.” And, regarding the renewal of his colleagues, he hopes “they all renew.”
He assured that “I don’t attach much importance to it in the awards”, referring to his nomination, finally, for the Ballon d’Or and about the possibility of playing the Champions League in Montjuïc, he affirms that “this is the perfect setting for the Clásico, we did not expect it. For the Champions League we love Lluís Companys, this is a good option, but Johan is our fortress and it is good.
About advancement in women’s footballconsidered that “things have been achieved, but the handbrake has been put on us and it is a shame. We hope that the agreement with League F is as long as possible and there is an upward line, leading it, but little by little.
