“Fede” Valverde broke the silence and referred to what happened with “Alex” Baena five days ago when he hit him in the face because the Villarreal soccer player had supposedly touched on an intimate subject related to his son.
The Spanish journalist María Morán asked him: Are you better mentally?, to which the Uruguayan soccer player replied: “Yes, yes.”
Likewise, he was questioned with whom he has supported. In this sense, Valverde mentioned: “The family, the people of Madrid, the people support me on the street. The truth is to thank a lot ”.
Valverde had remained silent following what happened at the end of the duel between Real Madrid-Villarreal (2-3) for La Liga. His wife, Mina Bonino, had spoken out last Monday, following the affected footballer “Álex” Baena issued a statement.
On that occasion, Bonino said: “I am not a spokesperson for anyone. I convey my pain and if there is someone who does not come out to speak today, it is because they do not want to relive what happened once more, and on the contrary, they want to end this as soon as possible ”, a clear allusion to Valverde’s silence.
