This Thursday at a press conference, Alexia Putellas returned to the reasons which pushed the Spanish players to go on strike.

L’Spanish women’s team is preparing to play his first match since the scandal of Luis Rubiales’ stolen kiss from Jennifer Hermoso after the World Cup final won by La Roja against England. Facing Sweden, whom it beat in the semi-final, Spain will begin its Nations League campaign with a new coach, Montserrat Tomé.

Putellas speaks

Present at a press conference this Thursday, Alexia Putellas returned to the episode of the Spanish players’ strike, although the majority of strikers returned to the selection because of the potential sanctions they face, while openly admitting that they were not happy to be here. The double Ballon d’Or explained that Spanish players have been waiting for changes within Spanish football institutions for a long time.

“We have been demanding for a long time that they listen to us because for decades there has been systematic discrimination against women. It should have said ‘zero tolerance’. There is an open legal proceeding and a victim here. We have never asked for a dismissal, nor the recruitment or withdrawal of a coach. All we did was convey concerns or concepts that the locker room didn’t feel comfortable with.”declared the FC Barcelona player.
