New coach of Spain's female football team Montse Tome talks during a press conference at the Ciudad del Futbol training facilities in Las Rozas de Madrid on September 18, 2023, ahead of the UEFA Nations League football matches against Sweden and Switzerland. AFPPIX: Striking Spanish internationals called up to the women's team reiterated their desire not to form part of the squad in a statement late Monday in a new blow for the shaken Spanish football federation .
Over 80 Spain players went on strike after the incident and despite Rubiales' resignation and controversial coach Jorge Vilda being sacked, 39 players maintained their stance, demanding more structural change.Those called up by Tome who were in the 39 all published a statement on social media, including two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas.
They also noted in the statement that they believe the squad not being named soon enough according to FIFA regulations meant the federation “would not be able to demand” that players are called up. “Everything keeps getting worse in the RFEF,“ wrote former Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
“I trust in that the players are professionals, they have just become champions of the world, they love the national team, and I know they will be here with us tomorrow,“ Tome told a news conference.Tome said she left Hermoso out of the squad for her own good. “We are with Jenni on everything, and with all the players,“ added the new coach.Swiss forward Ana Crnogorcevic, who signed for Atletico Madrid this summer from Barcelona labelled Tome’s squad “disrespectful”.
