Montse Tomé He appeared before the media in advance of the first game of the Nations League, against Sweden, in Gothenburg. At all times he insisted that he wanted to focus on sports but the context, extraordinary as well as important, prevented this.
“We all saw the final of the world. Everything that happened afterward was somewhat unpleasant. Many things happened that are out of my control. As for sports, tomorrow we have the first game of the Nations League and we are all professionals.”
The controversy of the list
Although he already said it in the press conference of his presentation, Tomé argued about the call that “I and my entire staff have always wanted protect the players, help them and be with them. With Jenni Hermoso, especially, she is the one who has had a really bad time, like her colleagues and like us. I have shared many years with her and I empathize with her in everything. “I had to be professional and make a list, and I chose, or we chose, the ones that were the best for us.”
He pointed out that “it was not a communication error but an error of interpretation”, because “they asked me if I had spoken with the players, not with all of them, and yes I did with some, of course. I am not going to explain what we talked about, it is part of professional secrecy”.
Its continuity
Her figure was touched after the summit in Oliva, since many of the soccer players expressed, as this newspaper learned, their pain and discomfort at the fact that they had been summoned without speaking to them and aware that they did not want to be there. In fact, it is something that the president of the CSD, Victor Francos, he highlighted in his subsequent appearance. And Tomé’s continuity is something that will be addressed when these two games pass.
However, the coach wanted to state that “if the players don’t love us, I don’t feel that, I haven’t heard it from them. I have trust, I am professional and they are. “I have been in this position for a short time, I want to work, to get this resolved, and to be able to talk about football.”
