Full statement from Valverde
TOYesterday I had an incident with a teammate as a result of a play in training, where the fatigue of the competition and frustration made everything worse.
In a normal locker room these things can happen and are settled between ourselves without it coming to light. Obviously there is someone behind here who runs fast with the story, added to a season without titles where Madrid is always the focus and everything is magnificent.
Today we had a disagreement again. During the argument I accidentally hit a table, making a small cut on my forehead that required a formal visit to the hospital.
Valverde’s statement
At no time has my partner hit me and neither have I, although I understand that it is easier for you to believe that we have screwed each other or it was intentional, but that did not happen.
I feel that my anger with the situation, my frustration at seeing that some of us are reaching the end of the season with the last of our strength, breaking our souls, has reached me to the point of arguing with a teammate.
I’m sorry. I am truly sorry because the situation hurts me, the moment we are going through hurts me. Madrid is one of the most important things in my life and I can’t be oblivious. The result is an accumulation of things that end in a meaningless fight, damaging my image, leaving the benefit of the doubt that it is invented, defamed and added seasoning to an accident, I have no doubt that the friction that we may have outside of an indoor field ceases to exist and if I have to defend it inside a stadium I will be the first
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 have wasted another year and I wasn’t around to make posts on social media when the only face I had to show was on the field and I feel like that’s what I did, that’s why I am the one who is most saddened and saddened by going through this situation that prevents me from playing the next game due to medical decisions because I always went to the end, to the last consequences 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 in any decision they see necessary. Thank you.
