Jenny Hermoso is deprived of a sports center named after her in Madrid due to a lack of “patriotism” and because “she was not known before the famous kiss”
At one of the most important moments of my life – both sports and personal – Jenny Hermoso -May 9, 1990, Madrid- He remembered (again) his origins. During the World Cup celebrations, striker that at important matches he always wears the “hidden” flag of the Community of Madrid, He brought up the topic again.
The world champion grew up on the Camino Alto de San Isidro, in the Carabanche district of Madrid.l, which he boasts and declares whenever he can. Few footballers are as proud of their roots as she is.
On August 20, 2023, Jenny Hermoso hung the flag of the Community of Madrid on the grass of the Accor Stadium in Sydney, from which she has not separated throughout the celebrations, both on Australian soil and in Spain. The world champion raised the trophy while kneeling on the badge. They once again demonstrated their origins, as happened a few years ago when Carabanchel celebrated his first Champions League (2020/21) with a flag draped around his waist. For example.
Failure to mention Spain or Madrid and the hysteria of PP and VOX
Anecdotes about the career of the Mexican striker Tigres are relevant because, according to El País, the PSOE of Madrid on Thursday accepted a proposal at the plenary session of the Chamberi district to honor the memory of the player by naming the Cea Bermúdez sports center after him.
However, as quoted in the above-mentioned media outlet, The PP rejected this proposal because when Jenny Hermoso received the Socrates Trophy At the Ballon d’Or gala a few weeks ago, he made no mention of Madrid or Spain. The award was launched in 2022 by France Football magazine and is named after the iconic Brazilian player Socrates Basileiro Sampaio de Sousa Vieira de Oliveira, a dedicated public figure in his country.
The world champion admitted the award “means a lot” to her in a speech that drew some of the loudest applause of the night, and referred to an anecdote about a girl who told her: “I dream of being a footballer like you.” .” . World football star leads social earthquake #It’s over and fought against machismo, homophobia and misogyny.
The fact is that the popular councilor and president of the district, Jaime Gonzalez, compared it with the one given by Rodri Hernandez when receiving the Ballon d’Or, the sixth award of this type that Spanish football has received in its history (after that Luis Suarez and the doubles of Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmati). “The first thing he did was remember Spain, remember Madrid.” the adviser said, El País reported.
“I think we would be wrong to give him this award. It seems the most appropriate place is not a sports center that has a swimming pool and a gym,” he added. As González points out, the municipal sports center, which opened in May 2023, a few months before the national team’s milestone, and which owes its name to its location, does not have a football field.
VOX didn’t think this was a good idea either and voted against the proposal. “They didn’t know her before the famous kiss” – snapped a council member from the group, referring to the non-consensual kiss that Luis Rubiales, the former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, gave the footballer in the midst of World Cup celebrations. In addition, the far-right group accused the socialists of once again trying to take advantage of the situation for political purposes. In response, PSOE accused both parties – PP and VOX – of voting only against Jenny Hermoso, who is a woman. At the same time, the second of them proposed naming the center after Iker Casillas.
