Everything had ended after a real great match between Real Madrid and Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabéu when the apparent tranquility was blown up. Fede Valverde went to the Villarreal bus, parked in the parking lot of the white coliseum, and there he waited for Álex Baena. According to the Uruguayan’s version, he challenged the Villarreal player to repeat some hypothetical and unfortunate words that he would have said during the cup duel at La Cerámica in January about the son he is expecting with his wife after a very complicated pregnancy, which even caused fear for the birth of the child.
“Cry now that your son is not going to be born,” the yellow footballer would have told the Uruguayan after a game, always according to the version held by Valverde’s entourage. He would have kept this affront until it exploded after the league duel in Chamartín, in which similar phrases would have been repeated by the ‘groguet’ player. “Tell me now what you told me about my son in the field,” the Real Madrid player would have said, after which the attack came, with a punch to the cheekbone that caused visible swelling, as could be seen in some later images. of the arrival of Villarreal.
Thus, Baena came out of the huge commotion generated at dawn to emphatically deny through his social networks the version offered by Valverde. «Very saddened by the aggression I suffered after the game and surprised by what is being said about me. It is completely false that I said that, “said the Villarreal footballer, who will now have to decide if he reports the facts to the Police, something in which his club would support him despite ruling out reporting on his behalf. Only in this way could a possible sanction prosper, since when the attack occurred away from the field of play, the minutes of the match official, the Castilian-La Mancha player Alberola Rojas, do not include anything in this regard.
The controversy did not end there, since Valverde’s own wife, Mina Bonino, was involved after conjectures on social networks in which it was speculated that the announcement of the problems in the pregnancy of the Argentine journalist had been after the Cup match between Villarreal and Real Madrid to which the origin of this dispute dates back. «Do I have to go out and explain myself when they told me that my pregnancy could not continue? »We kept quiet for almost two months waiting for the results to find out whether or not we could continue having a five-month gestation«, he pointed out, later resorting to information that already spoke of complications in the pregnancy of the second child of the young couple before the public announcement by your part.
