Spain striker boycotts national team after Rubiales fails to resign

It seems that the option Luis Rubiales not to resign from the presidency of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), after the controversy involving the kiss without consent to the world champion striker, Jenni Hermoso, did not catch on well among the country’s top athletes. big names of Spain like the goalkeeper from geathe best of the world Alexia Putellas and the former goalkeeper Iker Casillas criticized the leader. In addition, the national and international striker Betis, Borja Iglesiasimposed a boycott if he is called up again.

I’m sad and disappointed. As a football player and person, I don’t feel represented by what happened today in the Football City of Las Rozas. I find it regrettable that they continue to press and focus on a partner. Wearing the shirt of the Spanish national team is the most that has happened in my career.”began Borja, on his social networks.

“I don’t know if I will ever be an option again, but I made the decision not to return to the national team until things change and this type of attitude does not go unpunished”completed the 30-year-old striker, who has already made two appearances for the Spanish national team, with his most recent call-up being in March of this year.
