🚨 OFFICIAL: Fede Valverde statement.
“Yesterday I had an incident with a teammate during a training session. The fatigue from competition and the frustration made everything seem blown out of proportion”.
“In a normal locker room, these things can happen and are usually resolved internally without it becoming all public”.
“Clearly, someone here is spreading rumors, and with a season without titles, where Real Madrid is always under scrutiny, everything gets blown out of proportion”.
“Today we had another disagreement. During the argument, I accidentally hit a table, causing a small cut on my forehead that required a routine visit to the hospital”.
“At no point did my teammate hit me, I didn’t hit him either”.
“I feel that my anger about the situation, frustration at seeing some of us struggling to get through end of season, giving it our all, pushed me to the point of arguing with a teammate”.
“I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry because this situation hurts me, this moment we’re going through is painful”.
“Real Madrid is one of the most important things in my life and I can’t be indifferent to it. The result is accumulation of things that culminate in a senseless fight, damaging my image and leaving room for doubt that they will add fuel to the fire of an accident”.
“I wasn’t going to speak out until the end of the season. We were eliminated from the Champions League, and I kept my anger and resentment to myself”.
“We’ve wasted another year, and I wasn’t in a position to be posting on social media when the only face I had to show was on the field, and I feel that’s what I did. That’s why I’m the one who’s most saddened and pained to be going through this situation that prevents me from playing the next match due to medical decisions”.
“I always gave it my all, to the very end, and it hurts me more than anyone not to be able to do so. I am available to the club and my teammates to collaborate on any decision they deem necessary. Thank you”.
Earlier, Romano also posted this:
🚨 BREAKING: Fede Valverde suffered a traumatic brain injury and will MISS El Clásico.
“The tests carried out today on our player Fede Valverde by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury”.
“Valverde is at home in good condition and will need to rest for 10 to 14 days, as per medical protocols for this diagnosis”, Real Madrid confirm.
What happens when Bayern Munich unceremoniously dumps you from the Champions League? Apparently, a mass unraveling.
Real Madrid has gone full dumpster fire mode and is falling apart. Disagreements, fights, and bullying, Real Madrid has it all!
Per ESPN, Real Madrid midfielders Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni got into a fight (maybe their second scrap depending on what you believe), which left Valverde needing stitches:
Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde had to be taken to hospital after getting into a fight with teammate Aurélien Tchouaméni just three days before El Clásico against Barcelona, sources told ESPN. The fight broke out during training Thursday and comes just a day after Marca reported that the two midfielders had already been involved in an altercation during Wednesday’s training session.
Valverde, according to a source, required stitches after sustaining a cut during the scrap with Tchouaméni. Madrid announced they have opened disciplinary proceedings against both players.
“The club will announce the resolutions of both cases in due course, once the corresponding internal procedures have been completed,” the LaLiga club said in a statement.
A source has told ESPN that the fight broke out at the end of training, following a practice match with some heavy challenges. Tchouaméni went to the changing room, and Valverde then entered, looking very tense. That’s where they got into a fight, the source said.
A second source told ESPN that Valverde kicked Tchouaméni during training, then they insulted each other, and Tchouaméni went for Valverde and hit him badly. The tension between them started when Xabi Alonso was still at the club, the source added. ESPN has gotten in touch with Valverde’s entourage to hear his version of events, but they have declined to comment.
Last Friday, ESPN revealed that the bad results had moved into the dressing room, and that there had already been several incidents of tension since the start of the season. Sources told ESPN about another moment of tension when Antonio Rüdiger lost his nerve and caused a heated altercation with a teammate at Valdebebas.
ESPN did not reveal the name of the other person involved at the time, but Álvaro Carreras himself confirmed in a statement that he had had an altercation with a teammate. In that report, ESPN also revealed other arguments over the past few weeks between Real Madrid manager Álvaro Arbeloa and several of his players, including Dani Ceballos and another with Raúl Asencio.
Xabi Alonso got out at the right time…Los Titanicos, am I right?
Oh, and aside of that, Antonio Rüdiger is up to his normal antics:

And then AGAIN, 2 weeks ago, Rudiger once again started yelling at Carreras and scolding him and berating him in training in front of everyone, to the point where multiple players told Rudiger that he went too far in his treatment of Carreras and that he must apologize. @elchiringuitotv
Now that Rüdiger is average and past his prime, will anyone want to deal with that headache?
