This wasn't just a simple argument, but a real fight. Sport24.az, citing Marca, reports that the conflict between Valverde and Tchouameni started on Wednesday, and the tension between the players escalated even further yesterday.
During the morning training session, Federico refused to shake hands with Tchouameni. During training, the Uruguayan repeatedly hit the French player hard, which angered Oreleanu. At the end of the training, a conflict arose between the players, which turned into a fight. During the altercation, Valverde's head hit the corner of the table. The seriously injured footballer was taken to the hospital.
According to AS, the conflict continued in the dressing room. Tchouameni dealt heavy blows to Valverde, as a result of which the footballer fell and injured his head. Federico started bleeding. He was taken in a wheelchair to the medical room at the base, and from there to the hospital. There he was stitched up and sent home.
Immediately after the incident, Real Madrid director Jose Angel Sanchez held an emergency meeting in the dressing room. It was also reported that a disciplinary investigation has been launched. This investigation may lead to players being fined or even removed from the team.
But that's not all. El Chiringuito reported that Valverde lost his memory as a result of the blow. The player immediately underwent a computed tomography scan. The results are not yet known.
So what could have caused such a serious argument? The press reported that relations between Tchouameni and Valverde had already deteriorated several months ago. The Uruguayan wanted Xabi Alonso to leave his post. Orelean, on the contrary, has always defended the coach.
By the way, this is not the only conflict that has occurred in Real Madrid's dressing room. The Spanish media reported another fight between Antonio Rudiger and Alvaro Carreras. But the teammates were able to stop the argument in a short time.
In the midst of all this chaos, the reaction of Real Madrid star player Kilian Mbappe was surprising. El Chiringuito published a video showing the French footballer laughing loudly in the car as he left the club's training base.
Kilian and his teammates probably didn't expect the information to reach journalists so quickly. Real Madrid is already sure that the whole incident was deliberately leaked to the internet in order to damage the club's reputation. The management has launched an investigation into who did it. This could be one of the players or a member of the club's staff.
