Tchouaméni on his row with Valverde: a lot of nonsense was said | OneFootball

Aurélien Tchouaméni spoke today at a press conference during the French national team’s training camp for the upcoming World Cup. The Real Madrid player gave his version of the incident with Federico Valverde that led his club to fine both of them and open disciplinary proceedings against them.

“A lot of nonsense was said,” the French international stated.

“Obviously things happened, but it was blown out of proportion because it came out in the media. I read that there had been a fight and that I had punched him... That’s not what happened,” he explained.

“Fede and I have the goal of winning titles with Real Madrid. There are no problems with Valverde right now,” he admitted.

Tchouameni also took the opportunity to congratulate PSG on their Champions League triumph, although “I would have preferred Real Madrid to win it.”

And what about Mbappé? The midfielder considers his teammate “a leader on and off the pitch.” “He is our captain and the one who sets the example for us. He fulfills his role very well.”
