Montse Tomé threw a bold stone by leaving Irene Paredes, Misa Rodríguez and Jenni Hermoso out of the Spanish team and arguing for their absence, although not directly but in a veiled way, for the sake of “collaboration, camaraderie, knowing how to be”, in addition to seeking the present and the future to “leave the past behind.”
The noise generated, as it could not be otherwise, was important, especially due to the non-call of the Barcelona captain. This Thursday, the coach chose to hide her hand and take charge against the easiest target: the press.
Instead of reaffirming the message he launched or rectifying it, he has chosen a tangent. «Things were put in different media that I did not say. I can speak and everyone can interpret what they want. “I don’t feel responsible for that,” said the Asturian.
Likewise, he scolded the journalists for the topics chosen to ask the soccer players. “We would like to talk about football, I have heard my footballers comment more than once that I wish they would ask me about Korea, France, Italy… that’s how we feel comfortable,” a reflection that Olga Carmona made public last month. The Sevillian was surprised by the little interest that a friendly match with nothing at stake against Italy aroused among the press. “You ask them questions that they don’t have to answer,” said Tomé.
To finish instructing the media, the Asturian asked for respect for the 24 soccer players mentioned, implying that talking about the absent ones is a lack of respect, and demanded to put the focus on them. “You have an important dissemination task to make these soccer players known,” he concluded.
