Aurélien Tchouameni and Fede Valverde will not go on vacation together. That’s a certainty. The two midfielders, who were to lead the team after the departures of Casemiro, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, do not like each other. This is what emerged from both camps after their two altercations during training on Wednesday and Thursday. The first fuse was lit after a tackle by the Uruguayan on the Frenchman. There were exchanges of insults. But no fight a priori. Yesterday, the tension rose a notch, after the vice-captain accused the Habs of having thrown everything to the press. he even refused to shake his hand. It all ended with Valverde bleeding and in the hospital to have 3 stitches put in.
We don’t really know how he ended up in this state, since some media report a punch or a slap delivered by the Frenchman. Which Valverde denies. Whatever happens, nothing will ever be the same again between the two men, who were not really on good terms, but supported each other. But their relationship has deteriorated over the past few months. The former AS Monaco player criticizes Valverde, like others including Vinicius Jr, for having done everything to bring down Xabi Alonso. A technician that the former Monaco player appreciated and respected. His teammate, who is in the anti-Xabi Alonso and pro-Arbeloa camp, is angry against Tchouameni who is therefore the mole who reveals information to the press according to him. Which the French player firmly denies.
Real Madrid has made its choice
Regardless, the club decided to take action yesterday by opening disciplinary proceedings against the two players. Spanish media added that they risk being sanctioned. Others believe that Fede Valverde, who is the one who crossed the red line, may no longer wear the Merengue jersey in the future. What is it really? This Friday, Cadena COPE confirms that Real Madrid is very worried after these incidents and regarding the collaboration between its two midfielders, whose relationship is “far from ideal”. The residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium will have to find solutions to resolve this conflict, because they do not intend to separate themselves from the two elements.
Indeed, El Mundo assures that Tchouameni and Valverde will not be sold this summer. They will be there next season. The debate is therefore closed…for the moment. El País adds that, however, the Spanish management intends to do a major clean-up this summer with other players. A revolution is underway. The future coach will have his say, he who will have to succeed in picking up the pieces between his two midfielders, who played two rounds on Wednesday and Thursday. Real Madrid hopes that there will not be a third.
