The head coach of Spanish second division soccer team Sporting Gijón has apologized for remarks he made which likened talking to women in discos to scoring goals.
“In the end, a goal is like girls in the disco,” said Miguel Ángel Ramírez at one point during his post-match press conference following his side’s 3-0 win over Mirandés on Sunday. “When you approach them, they move away. Then when you don’t pay them any attention, they tap you on the shoulder and say, ‘Hey.’ “Goals are the same: When you obsess over them, they get further away.
I apologize for [my comments].” CNN Sport has reached out to Sporting Gijón for comment. Ramírez’s comments came on the same day that Spain won the Women’s World Cup for the first time, beating England 1-0 in Sunday’s final, and he began the press conference by congratulating the national team. Prior to his apology, Ramírez had received criticism for his comments, including from the mayor of the city of Gijón.
