FOOTBALLERS use coded messages to flirt with women they fancy online, a Spanish model has claimed.
Raquel Reitx, who has over 500,000 followers on Instagram, says the athletes use the same tactic when trying to speak with her and others.
And she assumes it is something the footy stars have agreed upon.
Reitx told El Podcast de Druni: "I reckon that in the dressing rooms they have openly agreed how to do it.
"They all do the same thing. They send a ‘fire’ emoji, but they don’t react to the story.
"They send it. If you don’t answer them, they delete it. Always the same."

She added that she believes there are a couple of reasons for the tactic.
One would be that footballers don't need to work too hard to get a response due to their celebrity status.
And the other is that the fire emoji can be interpreted in a number of different ways and doesn't necessarily give away their intentions.
But Reitx says that she herself has never been with a footballer, and that she finds these attempts to chat on social media "uninteresting".

She commented: "I have never been one to get with people from social networks.
"In fact, those who I’ve been with, I’ve met them before in person than on networks.
"I’m not good at it. In addition, it is difficult for me to answer on WhatsApp, how difficult is it going to be for me to respond to direct messages.
"I have never had anything with a footballer. They don't attract my attention.
"Especially with these uninteresting attempts to get women to talk to them. Not for me."
