Superstar striker, Alex Morgan, is not an unknown name in the soccer world. The athlete is leading the San Diego Wave FC of the National Women’s Soccer League. Her dedication to the sport and hardworking personality fits well with one another. Moreover, she also captained the United States Women’s National Soccer Team with elite teammates, Megan Rapinoe, and Carli Lloyd, for two years. She is an inspirational figure for many, given her soccer expertise. 

Not long ago, Morgan expressed her sadness regarding the Spanish women’s national team’s current situation. She tweeted about the same and acknowledged the fact that the Spanish team was in a problematic state right now.

Morgan’s tweet on Team Spain’s condition

Very recently, many of Spain’s star soccer players are reluctant to play for the team; the list includes fifteen national-level players. The reason behind this is Spain’s Soccer Federation’s intruding behavior. 

According to the athletes, the team’s head coach, Jorge Vilda, is exceeding his limits of professionalism; he is now invading their personal space. Asking them who they went out to coffee with and checking their bags is beyond the limits. Furthermore, the players claimed that the current circumstances are “dictatorial,” which is not acceptable. 

Putting the entire scenario into words, one of Yahoo Sports’ writers threw light on the issue. Meanwhile, legendary soccer player, Alex Morgan, replied to the writer’s tweet and expressed her sadness. 

“This is so hard to watch knowing the federation is throwing their players under the bus for players asking for better protection, treatment, and professionalism,” wrote Alex Morgan on Twitter. “Players (the BEST players in Spain) deserve so much better.”

Vilda’s strict surveillance method is doing more bad than good. The first and foremost noticeable point is the team’s degrading mental and emotional well-being. Due to the same, the athletes are not in their best form, and thus, inferior quality of performance is unavoidable. Moreover, it also led to “undesirable injuries.” Second is their career, which is on hold for now.
