She initally said she didn't like it but then said:

"Ha sido un gesto mutuo totalmente espontáneo por la alegría inmensa que da ganar un Mundial. El presi y yo tenemos una gran relación, su comportamiento con todas nosotras ha sido de diez y fue un gesto natural de cariño y agradecimiento... No se puede dar más vueltas a un gesto de amistad y gratitud, hemos ganado un Mundial y no vamos a desviarnos de lo importante", dijo.
