While the controversy continues to swell around the Luis Rubiales affair, Eugénie Le Sommer has given her support to the Spanish footballer Jennifer Hermoso.
The first historic world title gleaned by the footballers of the Spanish selection against England on August 20 will therefore have been totally eclipsed by Luis Rubiales. Present on the podium at the time of the medal ceremony, the president of the Spanish Football Federation then began to embrace and warmly kiss each of the Iberian players. Until Jennifer Hermoso comes face to face with him and he kisses her on the mouth. A gesture which has since caused a real outcry within Spanish football and which has even reacted well beyond.
On Friday, Luis Rubiales was present in front of the members of the Federation during a general assembly which many thought would be his last. But while he seemed to be thinking the day before about a possible resignation, the boss of the RFEF hammered in front of his audience that he would not resign under any circumstances. Applauded by a good part of his audience, Luis Rubiales, on the other hand, provoked a new wave of indignation outside. The players of the selection, for example, published a press release to say that they would play more for the selection as long as the current leaders are in place“.
This is not acceptable!
Estoy contigo @Jennihermoso– Eugenie Le Sommer (@ELS_9_FRANCE) August 25, 2023
“I’m with you Jenny”
The Spanish political class and the government in particular have taken up the subject and the dismissal of Luis Rubiales, in the short or medium term, is to this day hardly in doubt. In the meantime, indignation is spreading and crossing borders. Eugénie Le Sommer, for example, made her voice heard. The scorer of the France team thus split a sharp message that she posted on Friday on her social networks. ” This is unacceptable ! I’m with you Jenni Hermoso. “A position that delighted its subscribers and the latter even demanded that other tricolor players follow suit.
