Media: Alonso the catalyst?! His role in the Real drama The Real drama continues to keep the football world on edge. After Fede Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni first clashed in training, the situation escalated around a day later.
As a result of the altercation, Valverde had to be taken to hospital and will miss the Clásico next Sunday. Following the incident, several media outlets had already reported that this dispute was only the peak of many tensions over the past few months. New reports now reveal one of the triggers behind the ongoing internal conflicts.
According to the Spanish outlets 'El Mundo' and 'Marca', the dispute between the different factions began over the issue of Xabi Alonso. Some of the Real stars were said to be clearly unhappy with the former Bayer coach, while other Madrid players had stood by the manager. After the 44-year-old was dismissed, the disputes reportedly became more and more intense, ultimately culminating in the altercation between Valverde and Tchouaméni.
The club has meanwhile launched disciplinary measures against both players. What penalties the two can expect and what their future at Los Blancos will look like remain uncertain at present. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
