The Spanish women’s football team won 2-0 against Brazil on Wednesday and has reached the quarter-finals as group winner. Athenea and Alexia scored the two goals for the Spanish team in extra time. However, the victory was overshadowed by some comments from Jenni Hermoso that are causing a lot of talk.
And it is that One of the news stories of the match was the starting position of Jenni Hermoso, who had barely been included in Montse Tomé’s plans. at the Olympics. He came off the bench in the first match and did not play again.
And yesterday she broke her silence and spoke clearly about her starting position. “Finally, I was expecting it too,” the Madrid native replied when asked by ‘Cope’ about her limited participation to date, as Hermoso got her first start against the South Americans in Paris 2024. Against Japan she was only on the field for 23 minutes, while against Nigeria she didn’t even jump onto the pitch. This Wednesday she was given 59 minutes by coach Montse Tomé.
“I’m here to enjoy this. I felt good, it was a little, I’m not going to lie to you, but well, we won and we’re already thinking about the quarterfinals,” explained the Madrid forward before launching a direct barb at Montse Tomé.
“I’m still the same player I was a month, two months, three days ago. I still feel just as good. There are things that have no answers and now I’m here with a different role and, whether I accept it or not, that’s what I have to do,” she said.
Her words quickly went viral, provoking a flood of reactions. “What a boring girl. The facts: she left in the 61st minute and Spain scored in the 67th and won”, “Others play better than her. She lacks humility”, “That’s what you do best: start fires!!!” or “With these statements she shouldn’t return to the national team” are some of the indignant comments that flood “X”.
Once again, the women’s team is in for some controversy.
