The former president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) stressed to the judge that the striker “knows very well that she is not telling the truth.”
“Until there was an argument, there was a kiss meme. Some people may have felt uncomfortable, but the vast majority of people found it enjoyable. I also did the same with the players,” Rubiales said.
The former director claims that before the final in Sydney he asked Hermoso if he could kiss her if Spain won. “And she said ‘ok’,” he emphasized.
“She died laughing and patted me on the back twice. How can I apologize if we were both very happy?,” he asked, repeating that the kiss was “natural.”
This Monday, the Spanish national team players Alexia Putellas, Irene Paredes and Misa Rodriguez confirmed to the referee the pressure that Hermoso was subjected to from Luis Rubiales.
As part of the investigation into the allegations against the former manager, former selector Jorge Wilda and RFEF marketing director Ruben Rivera are due to be heard on October 10, and team director Albert Luque on October 16. witnesses under investigation.
