Spain's controversial coach, Jorge Vilda, could also be dismissed.
Now claims that the kiss was ‘mutual’ appear to have been rubbished by a fresh, wide-angle video of the presentation which contradicts Rubiales and the Spanish FA’s interpretation of what happened.
In the footage, it is Rubiales who appears to lift his feet off the ground and effectively jump up into Hermoso’s arms, with the forward herself remaining largely motionless.The incident has sparked protests and become Spain’s #MeToo movement In one of the descriptions accompanying the photos the RFEF provided, it was claimed that Rubiales had to hold on to Hermoso ‘so as not to fall’ and that ‘it is evident that the arching of the player’s body corresponds to the lifting force of Mr President’.
Yet the new footage shows Rubiales lifting himself off the ground on his own accord, with Hermoso only reacting after the Spanish chief’s feet have left the floor.REF garantiu em comunicado que a Hermoso tinha levantado Rubiales enquanto o abraçava.
