Albert Luque, about Jenni Hermoso: "She doesn't deserve anything because of her human baseness"

SPORTS / By Carmen Gomaro

The director of the Spanish men's team, Albert Luque, traveled to Ibiza last August to try to convince Jenni Hermoso to declare in favor of Luis Rubiales. After the refusal of the player to assist him, who at that time was one of the people most trusted by the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), a series of messages were exchanged with a close friend of the player whom he had asked for help for the meeting.

In these WhatsApp messages, to which EL MUNDO has had exclusive access, Luque took the opportunity to harshly criticize the “unfair” attitude that Hermoso was having, going so far as to disapprove of his “human baseness” or his “little empathy and humanity” and He told him that life would end up punishing him and “giving him what he deserves.”

It is worth remembering that this director of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) is currently being charged by the National Court for an alleged crime of coercing the player for trying to get her to say publicly that the kiss that the former president of the club had given her Spanish football after the final of the Women's World Cup was consented. “It seems so unfair, so unfair, what is being done to Luis (Rubiales). Jenni's attitude seems so humanly base to me…. So little empathy and humanity,” Luque explained to Hermoso's friend.

He begged for “a simple gesture” from the soccer player to “take away” Rubiales the “biggest brown of his life”. Especially when, he added, Hermoso “knows that there is zero bad faith” on the part of the former head of the RFEF.. Along these same lines, Luque took the opportunity to recriminate the attitude of the world champion, whom he attributed for having “jumped on the bandwagon of killing” Rubiales.. But she also reprimanded her friend herself, with whom she had a wonderful relationship, for having previously told her that the player “was not going to comment” on the kiss.. Something she finally did when she reported that she was forced by Rubiales.

Luque felt betrayed because what he had been promised was not fulfilled and he insisted on getting the meeting.. “Not receiving the sports director of the RFEF and friend for two minutes?” he reiterated.

“I only wish that life gives you back what you are making a person pay unjustly,” Luque said in one of his messages.. To immediately add: “He doesn't deserve anything because of the little humanity he has…. Each one gives him what he deserves over time -sic-“.

The friend immediately apologized to Luque: “Jenni's agency was in charge of issuing the statement. My role here was to maintain Jenni's peace of mind during a few days of rest that she had to enjoy after everything she had experienced and achieved.”

“I'm sorry if the result is not what you would have liked, but this has gotten so far away that it is out of my hands personally.”. At the same time he “thanked” Luque for his “sincerity.”

The director of the national team responded by wishing the intermediary “the best” and emphasizing that the statement that Hermoso had made against Rubiales denoted the “coldness and lowest humanity” that he had ever seen.. «She is in a very difficult situation, as a friend you have to understand her. “I didn't tell you that he wasn't going to speak out, I told you that his agency was going to take care of this,” he clarified.

“I explained to you that she didn't see you because she was very affected by everything and the pressure she has on her and that I didn't want it to affect your friendship.”. “I'm surprised by your words about wishing Jenni ill when you told me that you have been friends for so long and that you didn't take a stand on either of them.”

Luque was initially summoned as a witness by the judge of the National Court Francisco de Jorge, but the instructor agreed to change his status to investigated.. The director of the men's team is scheduled to meet next October 10 with the head of Marketing of the RFEF, Rubén Rivera, who also went to the venue for the players' celebration with the same objective.. The situation of Luque and Rivera changed after the statements of Hermoso's brother and a friend, who accused them of coercion.
