The origin of the aggression would be explained in the wake of the Copa del Rey match that pitted the two teams against each other at the La Ceràmica stadium on January 19. In that duel, Baena, after a foul, would have told him “cry now that your child will not be born”. Then, information circulated about the problems that Valverde’s wife was having in her pregnancy.
According to those around the Uruguayan, during this Saturday’s game at the Bernabéu, the Villarreal midfielder would have repeated a similar phrase, a fact that would have detonated Valverde’s attitude. “You can’t mess with the family,” the white player would have told him before punching him, according to Marca.
The attack has surprised the retinue of the Valencian entity. Xisco Nadal, representative of Villarreal, tweeted “Valverde, rascal and coward”, but ended up deleting his tweet.
