Before boarding the plane that will take him back to Spain, the president of the Spanish Football Federation wanted to make things clear.

“Let’s seriously not listen to idiots and stupid people. Only two friends are celebrating. We’re not here to fool around. Me, with all I’ve been through, I don’t want any more fools and fools. Let’s ignore them and enjoy the good things.

Don’t even get me started on the idiots who can’t see the bright side. There is no malice in this. If there are fools, let them continue their foolishness. Let’s listen to those who are not stupid. It’s silly, but if people want to spend time on it” – Luis Rubiales.

AND Jenny Hermoso explained that it was “a mutual gesture, completely spontaneous, because of the immense joy that comes with winning the World Cup. The president and I have a great relationship, his behavior with all of us was perfect, and it was a natural gesture of affection and appreciation.”

The kiss of the president of the Spanish Football Federation took place against the background of serious problems in the Spanish national team. For months, players have condemned the methods of coach Jorge Wilda, who enjoys the direct support of his president, calling them “dictatorial”.

Luis Rubiales, who has been in office since 2018, was accused of organizing orgies with the money of the federation last September, writes News.ro.
