Given the great controversy in which Jenni Hermoso is involved for the kiss, apparently without consent, that she received from Luis Rubiales in the World Cup final. The Spanish player has received great support from soccer players.
This Friday he issued a statement that had the support of 81 Spanish players, who also resigned from the national team until Rubiales resigns or is fired from his position as president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation.
Now recently, Hermoso also received the support of the players of the National Women Soccer League. Who this Saturday used a bracelet with the text “with you Jenni” in support of the Spanish player for this difficult moment she is going through.
In Friday night’s match between the San Diego Wave and the Orlando Pride, the players from both elevens wore the bracelet with the message and showed the campaign in support of Jenni Hermoso on the team’s social networks.
Jenni also received support from her club
The Spanish midfielder also received support from her current Liga MX Femenina club Pachuca. The Mexican team issued a statement on Friday in which it expressed that it trusts Hermoso’s statements with respect to denying Rubiales’ explanation.
For now, despite the fact that Rubiales did not want to resign, FIFA issued a 90-day sanction against him. Which disqualifies him from exercising any activity related to soccer. For her part, Jenni, who released two statements, has already explained how the whole situation happened and she commented that she felt attacked by Rubiales’ act in the middle of the World Cup final.
