“Déjà Vu” by Vero Boquete puts Montse Thomé on target again | Relief

“But on the other hand, we make the same mistakes that other people have made all these years and which we regret so much. It’s a balance, a hypocrisy… a constant contradiction.” September 10, 2023

At the height of the crisis surrounding the Rubiales case, Relevo traveled to Florence to interview Veronica Boquete, one of the authorized voices (and perhaps the biggest) to speak about the Royal Spanish Football Federation and its methods of dealing with women’s football. Because he suffered it in the flesh.

Now, after Montse Thome’s latest and controversial list, Veronica Boquete has spoken out again… in her own way. “Deja vu,” he wrote on X. Over 800 retweets and 68,000 views in just one hour.

“Doubts” by Vero Boquete with Monse Tomé

Only five days have passed since the dismissal of Jorge Vilda as national coach and the appointment of Montse Thome in his place. The Asturian coach, the Madrilenian’s second player during his time on the Spanish bench, has not even made a list of his first team, and Vero Boquete has already dared to risk his future.

“The people, or those who are in charge there and who made the decision, believe that by putting in a second or any other selector who was not him or the most qualified because of meritocracy, the problem will end. They say: “Well, we bring a person, he’s a woman, who suits us very well.” described by Vero Boquete from Italy.

“And the question was completely the opposite. It’s not about whether Montse is good or bad. She will be very good, but has she passed the selection? Who decided, the sports director? (…) That’s true. that Kereda was removed and replaced by someone who was in the U19 team. “Now Vilda has been removed, and the one who was there has been placed (…) I think that the essence of the problem remains the same and is not understood,”

he added.

This was not the first nor the last time that Veronica Boquete spoke out about the appointment of the Asturian. A few days before our visit, Vero admitted that he had “doubts.” “The opportunity to make much deeper changes was lost,” he said at Cadena COPE.

And given what we’ve seen, time once again proves Veronica Boquete right. At one time, the Galician led protests against Ignacio Quereda, Jorge Vilda’s predecessor on the national team’s bench. This move sealed his future with the national team, to which he returned only once.

Moreover, in statements to BRANDVero Boquete lamented the situation of Irene Paredes, one of the biggest absences in the last call of Monse Tom. “It is unfortunate, shameful and disrespectful to treat a player like Irene Paredes. My heart is breaking from what they are doing to her,” admits the Galician. “I am reliving the same situation and the same course of action.

that they were with me after the 2015 World Cup”he adds.
