María Pry: “I have felt very embarrassed by what we have experienced today”

MADRID, 10 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Madrid CFF coach, María Pry, acknowledged that she has “felt a lot of embarrassment” over what happened on the first day of the F League, where the first games have been postponed due to a failure to appear by the refereeing team, which is protesting to obtain the status of professional, something that can be “done differently”.

“I have felt a lot of embarrassment for what we have experienced, I speak to you as a coach after 14 years, I did not expect such a situation. I understand that the referees have their right to be able to express what they feel, they have that freedom, but It’s also true that things could have been done in a different way”, declared the coach at a press conference.

Madrid CFF played the first day against Alhama ElPozo in Granada, where the Madrid team traveled to end up not playing the game. “The clubs have moved, we have come here and we have spent the entire preseason training and preparing for this match. If I were also in the situation right now with Alhama as a coach and the players, with the hope of debuting in a professional league… That debut goes to be marked”, commented.

Pry pointed out that he respects “all the forms and thoughts that they have, just like what was done two years ago with the players’ agreement”, but that he also thinks that “things can be done in another way”. “I also have the right to be able to express what I want and as a coach I have experienced a situation today from my point of view and for me, embarrassing,” she sentenced.


“I think that it cannot be repeated and that we all have to fight in the same direction, because now we speak in the different groups, who are professionals and who are not, and in the end the technicians are going to be the only ones who do not have a collective agreement, then What is this going to entail, now also another strike? “said the coach.

The Sevillian assures that “it is time for everyone” to be focused on “women’s football”. “I think there are many individual interests but from all over the world, but the right and what we have to work for is for and for women’s football,” Pry concluded.
