For the first time, Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni has spoken about his clash with Federico Valverde at the Valdebebas training centre. The Uruguayan midfielder was sent to hospital after an alleged fight with Tchouaméni to receive stitches in his head, while both were fined 500,000 euros by the club for lack of discipline.

The 27-year-old did not give many details about the incident, as he initially denied that he was hit by Tchouaméni, but described it as an experience from which he can “grow and mature” as a person.

Now Tchouaméni has also spoken for the first time, clarifying that he did not hit Valverde.

Everything was exaggerated. because it became news, and when he plays for Real Madrid, they said a lot of untrue things in the media. I will not go into more details, he said to Diario AS. Life goes on. Fede and I have a common goal. There are no problems. And if we face France, I have no problem with Valverde at the moment.” media.

The coach at the time, Álvaro Arbeloa, stated that “what hurts the most” was the fact that someone took the story out of the club. In the same line was the president Florentino Pérez, who said that the person who discovered the incident would lose his job, adding that “players fight every year” and that the publication of the story was “worse than the fight itself”.
