Madrid, Oct 28 (EFE).- Jennifer Hermoso, a player for the Mexican Tigres and the Spanish soccer team, stated this Monday that women’s soccer players fight “so that girls have role models” and, shortly before receiving the award Socrates at the Ballon d’Or gala declared that the path to achieving it “is being beautiful.”
“Once you get here, you are more aware of what is generated in women’s soccer. We fight so that the girls have references and the path is being beautiful. The other day when we were playing with the national team, many little girls were chanting our names and They already have references,” he explained in statements to Movistar Plus.
“Honestly, since we were world champions, there was a pause to start something beautiful again. There is still much more emphasis on generating many girls from the grassroots and generating that beautiful football. I think we are doing it, we have to have more strength to do what we set out to do. The road is hard but we are doing it well,” he added.
Finally, she stated that she was happy that, through women’s soccer, women’s interest in other sports has increased: “I feel proud that more women are joining sports of all categories,” she concluded. EFE
