as interview with mery ruiz

[acchikocchi]

Writing up the notes for the Zaida story right now. (Thank you so much to everyone who's commented, I hardly even know how to respond. I just, I really appreciate it.) I did most of the initial research last winter/spring and I wanted to share some of the things I came across in the process. This is an interview from AS, via the fantastic website

I would actually die if Real Madrid got their act together and started a women's side. I just. Aren't they embarrassed to be the only top Spanish team without one. I don't understand. I mean, I do, it's not marketable enough or whatever, but they have the resources to be so good, ugh. Also yes you are so right, ahahahaha, midfielders GALORE. I give it two years before it turns into Las Galacticas and we buy Louisa Necib and Lira Bajmaraj and probably Hope Solo.

omg I saw!! LIKE, AN ACTUAL CALL UP, WHOA. I really, really hope they qualify, though I want it to happen because they ~fulfill their youth potential~ and not just because there are more teams allowed. Though I would not turn that down or anything. because Veroooo. And Marta Torrejon. And Laura del Rio argh I want her to get her spot back. hello I am a fangirl.

Anyway uh as you can see I have feelings too so yours are very welcome here. Also, because literally no one on my flist will understand what I am yammering about: WHAT IS LIFE that Rayo win three league titles in a row and the season after I start paying attention to the league they slip to sixth and BARCELONA WHO HAVE NO (women's) HISTORY are top now. Just. Why. Aupa Athletic, man, that's all I can say.

LAS GALACTICAS. YESSSSSS.

My hope is that they qualify for a big tournament, which gets them more attention and hopefully someone at the RFEF gets embarrassed enough that they have had THE SAME COACH FOR 30 YEARS and they finally get their shit together. And/or after being recently thwarted in their bids for the Olympics and the World Cup, they decide to go after hosting a women's Euro or a WWC and in doing so realize they need to treat their women's NT in a non-shitty manner.

Also I would just like to take a moment to say VEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. (She posted a photo of her and Cristiano. I died.)

UGH BARCELONA WOMEN. I'M SURE YOU'RE LOVELY, BUT YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO WIN THINGS, OKAY? IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF IT. OKAY.
