Women’s World Cup: Rubiales Does Not See the Problem After Kissing Jennifer Hermoso on the Lips

Criticized in Spain for kissing Jennifer Hermoso during the medal ceremony of the Women’s World Cup final, Luis Rubiales defended his gesture, explaining that it was in the heat of the moment.

The president of the Spanish Football Federation wanted to set things straight. ‘Let’s not listen to idiots and stupid people, really. It’s just two friends celebrating something,’ Rubiales defended himself on Cope radio from Sydney Airport.

‘We’re not here for nonsense. With everything I’ve experienced, no more nonsense and no more jerks. Let’s ignore them and enjoy the good things. Don’t even talk to me about idiots who can’t see the positive side. It’s something without malice. If there are fools, let them continue their foolishness. Let’s listen to those who aren’t idiots. It’s something that doesn’t make sense, if people want to waste their time on that.’

Initially surprised by the gesture of the head of Spanish football, the Pachuca striker ‘didn’t like’ the kiss, as she explained on her social media.

The former Barcelona player then assured that it was ‘a gesture of friendship and gratitude’ for winning the World Cup. ‘The president and I have an excellent relationship, his behavior with all of us has been excellent, and it was a natural gesture of affection and gratitude. You can’t redo a gesture of friendship and recognition; we won a World Cup, and we’re not going to deviate from what’s important,’ she reacted to the Spanish news agency EFE. »
