The American midfield player, Megan Rapinoe, appreciated to have been taken in account for the 11 ideal of the FIFA of the feminine category of this year, but refused the recognition alleging that it has not been able to play from the month of March. By what considers that his place could be occupied by other players that have had greater number of parties this year.

Like this it said it Rapinoe in a communiqué published in his account of Twitter:

"Of course that has been an honour for me have been recognised by all my mates that voted me around the world for the FIFPRO World 11. However, it went a surprise for me because I do not play a party from March (2021, there go!)", it explained Rapinoe in the communiqué.

"There are a lot of phenomenal feminine players all over the world and have to do all the possible to recognise his work. The fact that it have been selected again is a signal that to follow betting by this sport have to follow investing in the feminine football to give him the opportunity to be seen in television in his natal countries and to global level", added.

And it added: "The future of this sport is brilliant, the potential is boundless and our commitment to support it from any perspective also has to be like this. I insist, it is a pride and a flatter for me be recognised by my mates for this honour and already am centred in going back to the terrains of game in 2021. Happinesses to all the incredible women that have been selected in the best eleven. It has been another revolutionary year for the feminine football. Happy holidays, wish them health and happiness to all".

It was the past year when the American midfield player arrasó in all the competitions, winning the World-wide feminine of this year, the Balloon of Gold in France 2019 and the prize "The Best" to the best feminine player.

Vero Boquete Said the same

Another of the players that were awarded for the 11 feminine ideal was Verónica Boquete (Milan - Spain). In his account of Twitter said to be appreciated by the recognition, but that considered not thinking that deserved the same this year, but without explaining the reason:

"It was a surprise be in the World11. Perhaps other players also considered all my career. However, if I am chosen by the players would have to accept it and be grateful. It is a big honour when your mates select you. It shows respect, love and appreciate", wrote. In another tuit said to be "honoured and appreciated by the votes of mates and rival. Thank you By his respect, love and appreciate. However, I do not think that it deserve to be in The Best World11 of this year".
