New controversy due to the absence of Jenni Hermoso, Paredes and Misa in the Montse Tomé call

The absences of Jenni Hermoso, Irene Paredes and Misa Rodríguez in Montse Tomé’s squad for the duels against South Korea and France have unleashed a new controversy surrounding the Spanish women’s soccer team. The criticism has been fierce against the coach because for many these decisions are intended to punish the players who were the most important players in the departure of Luis Rubiales. In the last few hours, Cadena SER has revealed that, according to federation sources, the absences of Hermoso and Misa Rodríguez respond to the bad behavior of both when they have been substitutes.

Montse Tomé’s call-up has raised eyebrows among several former players around the national team. Vero Boquete was the first to complain through social networks. The absence of the captain reminded Boquete when Jorge Vilda decided to remove her when she played this same role in the Spanish team. “Dejavú,” wrote the Fiorentina soccer player on the social network X when she found out that Montse Tomé had not called Paredes.

“I am reliving the same situation and the same modus operandi that they had with me after the 2015 World Cup,” the footballer who, as captain, led the revolt that ended with the resignation of Ignacio Quereda after 27 years as coach, later explained to Marca in Marca. “The way in which a player like Irene Paredes is being treated is regrettable, shameful and disrespectful. “It breaks my heart what is being done to her,” he explained.

“A coach can do without a player for sporting or personal reasons, but the departure of the captain and leader of a National Team must be done in a clearer, humane and professional way,” added Vero Boquete.

Ana Crnogorcevic, a former Barça player, also criticized Tomé’s decision to leave out Irene Paredes. “Being a starter in the best club… it will be due to performance, right? (I’m asking for a friend)”, the Swiss woman stamped an X.

To add gasoline to the fire that had already been started, Jenni Hermoso published an enigmatic and at the same time provocative message on her networks. “Don’t sell your soul to the devil,” the soccer player published.

The reasons for Hermoso and Misa’s absences would be their bad behavior. Both would be upset with the coach for her few minutes in the last selection window. The Tigres forward for having traveled from Mexico to only be able to jump on the grass for a quarter of an hour.
