Football aims to return to the topic of conversation among national team players, but the effects of the Rubiales case will persecute the international team. They tried to find a foundation to hold on to, with a handout read by Álvaro Morata just before the first training session. A note that doesn’t convince everyoneDespite the pressures, the S. Federation preferred to let those invited to speak, who gave interviews to different channels and expressed their individual views, giving more or less support to the group.

Location of Dani Carvajalplayer real Madrid and one of the heaviest weights of the selectionIt became one of the most commented and criticized. “We recognize that the president’s behavior was inappropriate, but it should be the properties that determine whether Jenni Hermoso was a victim or not. We can’t condemn it without knowing what happened,” he said at Ondacero’s ‘Radio Stadium’. He was tasked with appearing in front of the media this Tuesday (Friday, 6 pm) before his trip to Tbilisi to face Georgia.

“Innocence is a constitutional right”

The first question was precisely about this intervention. “I think it’s been made pretty clear. The only thing I’m advocating is the presumption of innocence, which is the constitutional right of all people in this country. You cannot victimize or blame anyone without a final sentenceCarvajal argued.

I never said that Jenni wasn’t a victim. I said that the presumption of innocence must be respected. If he’s having a bad time, you should show solidarity with him like everyone else. The President (Rubiales) won’t have a good time either,” he said in a later response.

“It was difficult to convince 24 people to make our statement. We did it with the best of intentions. We did it in accordance with the situation and what we represent,” said the Real Madrid player. “This has a very high repercussion at the media and football level (in social networks). I did not express my opinion on this matter, and it will be. I will not comment. Everyone can do what they see fit.. I’d rather not do that,” Carvajal continued.

“I have a good sporting view of Rubiales”

“24 players made the statement, and we’ve come to this conclusion. They’re all satisfied”; The Spanish national player insisted. “As a player and as a president, my opinion of Rubiales is good. He’s always been treated perfectly professionally towards me. As a player, anything that could help us in terms of championships and outings… has been phenomenal. I’m not the one to clean up, corrupt, or corrupt the Federation. i can’t make a mistakeHe commented on the federation’s dismissed manager.

“The locker room is focused on the Georgia game. We’re going on a trip this afternoon. It’s an important party. We have to prove it,” defended Carvajal, and tried to bring the subject to football once again. “We prepared the statement to prevent a lack of concentration. Just to talk about football. “We are focused on the game behind the scenes,” he said.

“We defend the values ​​of sports”

“We set an example, good and bad. It’s not a nice topic. I wish they would talk about the World Cup. But we have to face the facts. We are here as good professionals. We know what it means for Spain to represent this shield and football.. We want to show our best version on a professional and media level”, Carvajal justified.

Carvajal said he didn’t see Rubiales’ reaction after he tacitly accused the players of changing their minds. “We finally showed that we were against his actions. He also asked for forgiveness. We defend the values ​​of sport. These are the players we want Spanish football to reflect. Anyone can say whatever they want with the explanation. We thought it was just to handle the situation,” ending his words, and Erdogan did not punish him because the Rubiales case will go to Georgia as well.
