The national team’s difficult visit to the government after the attempt to remove Rocha… with Carvajal’s cold greeting to Sanchez as the picture
After visiting the kings at the Zarzuela Palace, the Spanish team visited Moncloa with a certain soreness. The background is deep, with Pedro Sanchez welcomes not only champions, but also Pedro Rochapresident of the RFEF. The government has been keeping a close eye on the Federation for months, to the point that the president of the Supreme Sports Council Jose Manuel Uribesalso present at the reception, He let it slip that Rocha should not preside over it. in connection with an investigation that is pursuing him on suspicion of corruption.
During the visit, broadcast by RTVE, Pedro Rocha has never been in the spotlight. Yes, he was seen in some general shots next to Luis de la Fuente, but a little apart from the president. Yes, indeed, At one point in his speech, Sanchez very briefly named him. and after the first mention of Luis de la Fuente, the national coach.
He has repeatedly tried to distance himself from Rocha’s image. They were not seen together during the Eurocup, and even during the Spain-Germany quarter-final, the president asked for protocol to be changed so that he could sit next to the German chancellor rather than the head of the federation. TAD decision on possible disqualification awaited.
“Besides congratulations, I wanted to thank you for providing the best version of Spain.. For demonstrating the ability to make an effort, to come back, to have a team spirit, to sacrifice, to prepare, to strategize… And also for playing fairly and beautifully. Because it is true that in sports, and especially in competitions, there are moments when you feel like the best didn’t win. Or there are times when you play very well, but you don’t win tournaments. And I believe that in this case we have a team that played like in the movies and won the fourth European Championship for Spain.“, – the Prime Minister commented.
It is curious that the one who was not present in either Zarzuela or Moncloa was Vicente del Bosquethe man the government has appointed as the visible face of the Commission of Delegates that oversees the RFEF while corruption cases are being investigated. The former coach is hardly visible and he didn’t want to do this at any moment of celebration.
However, The most commented on social networks was Dani Carvajal’s greeting.. The Real Madrid player was the second after Morata to approach the president, shaking his hand but barely looking at him. The party has always been linked to right-wing political parties, although he distanced himself from these rumours.
“As a player, I stay away from my political ideology. “I have done this throughout my career and I will continue to do so. In the end, each person’s voice is private. But I don’t know if he thinks this is the right thing to do and what he should do… Go on,” he said recently after Mbappe’s political demands at a press conference.
Carvajal too defended Luis Rubiales’ presumption of innocence for his kiss with Jenny Hermoso during the Women’s World Cup celebrations – a gesture that Sanchez clearly criticized. “I never once said that Jenny wasn’t a victim. I said that the presumption of innocence must be maintained.. We have to sympathize with Jenny. I don’t think he’s having a good time, any more than I think the president is having a good time. “I’m not here to judge anyone.”
