11 Sep
Summary
- Mourinho stated Tchouameni and Valverde resolved their training ground altercation.
- The players were reportedly fined €500,000 each for the physical fight.
- Tchouameni clarified the fight was blown out of proportion by media reports.
Jose Mourinho, recently re-appointed as Real Madrid manager, revealed that midfielders Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde resolved a physical altercation that occurred at the training ground earlier this year. Mourinho stated he did not need to intervene, as the players handled the situation amicably themselves.
Reports from May indicated the players clashed physically, leading to a significant fine of €500,000 each. However, Tchouameni later addressed the incident during the international break, clarifying that media coverage had exaggerated the event. He emphasized that the altercation was not as severe as reported and that no punches were exchanged.
Tchouameni stressed that both he and Valverde share the primary objective of winning titles with Real Madrid, and there are no ongoing personal issues between them. Despite the past conflict, both players continue to be part of the squad as Real Madrid seeks to improve upon their previous season's performance.
