Mapi León and Patri Guijarro left the concentration of the Spanish selection in Oliva. The two Barça footballers, who this summer already refused to attend the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, do not subscribe to the agreements reached with the Higher Sports Council and the Royal Spanish Football Federation, which have committed to purifying the federative structure.
While Mapi and Patri Guijarro return to Barcelona, The other 21 players called up by coach Montse Tomé have decided to remain in the team and play Spain’s next two games in the Nations League, against Sweden in Göteborg this Friday, and against Switzerland in Córdoba next Tuesday.
“We are not in a position”
“It is a reality that for both Patri and me the reality is different from that of our colleagues. We already know that there have been the ways to return. We are not in conditions. But we are happy because changes are taking place, and in this we are supporting our colleagues,” said Mapi León upon leaving the rally. “It’s pretty hard. Mentally we’re not here to continue.”Patri Guijarro added.
During this Wednesday, both the CSD and the Spanish Federation should specify which people should leave their positions. Among them, the still secretary and right-hand man of the resigned Luis Rubiales in the organization, Andreu Camps.
Mapi León, on Tuesday, already warned that she was going to the rally despite herself and forced to face the threat of a sanction being applied in accordance with the Sports Law. The CSD, however, has committed that players who still choose not to remain in the national team will not be sanctioned.
