For the first time, Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has opened up on his altercation with Fede Valverde at the Valdebebas training ground. The Uruguayan midfielder was taken to hospital after a supposed fight with Tchouameni to have stitches in his head, and both were fined \u20ac500k by the club for their indiscipline<\/a>.<\/p>\n Valverde spoke about the incident for the first time this week<\/a>, on his arrival to the Uruguay camp ahead of the World Cup. The 27-year-old did not get into detail on the incident, having initially denied that he had been hit by Tchouameni, but instead called it a learning experience for him to \u2018grow and mature\u2019.<\/p>\n \n Tchouameni has now also spoken about the incident for the first time, explaining that he did not punch Valverde.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, things happened, you could see and hear it in the media. It was blown out of proportion because it was in the news, and when you play for Real Madrid, that creates a huge reaction. A lot of nonsense was said in the press. I read that there was a fight and that I had punched him\u2026 Which wasn\u2019t the case. I won\u2019t go into more detail,\u201d quoted Diario AS<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe most important thing is that the club was aware of what happened. There are many things that happen in the dressing room that don\u2019t make it into the press. Life goes on. Fede and I have a common goal: to win titles with Real Madrid. There are no problems. And if I face him in the World Cup, we\u2019ll be eager to win with the French national team. On a personal level, there are no problems with Valverde right now.\u201d<\/p>\n \n Despite handing out such heavy fines, Los Blancos seemed largely unconcerned by the fight itself, but rather the fact that it was leaked to the press. Then manager Alvaro Arbeloa said that \u2018what really hurts\u2019 was that somebody went public with the story. Meanwhile President Florentino Perez toed a similar line<\/a>, noting that the person who leaked it would be losing their job, and that \u2018players fight every year\u2019, calling former \u2018worse than the fight itself.\u2019<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Aurelien Tchouameni opens up on Fede Valverde altercation, denies punch<\/a> appeared first on Football Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the first time, Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has opened up on his altercation with Fede Valverde at the Valdebebas training ground.…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6719,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6717"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6717"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6717\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6718,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6717\/revisions\/6718"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Tchouameni denies hitting Valverde<\/h2>\n
