Perez is paying the price for his miscalculation. |
On the pitch, Real Madrid are preparing to end their second consecutive trophyless season and may have to watch their rivals Barcelona lift the La Liga trophy this weekend. Inside the dressing room, a conflict erupted into a brawl between Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni, resulting in a player being hospitalized.
The behavioral errors lie with individuals, but looking deeper, the person ultimately responsible for this breakdown is president Florentino Perez.
A serious brawl and internal division.
Spanish media have just revealed specific details about the brawl that plunged Real Madrid into crisis. The incident erupted when Valverde refused to shake Tchouameni's hand in the morning, setting the stage for a tense training session. On the pitch, the Uruguayan midfielder repeatedly made aggressive tackles, causing the French player to lose his composure. The situation culminated in the dressing room at the end of the training session when the two men came to blows.
During the struggle, although Tchouameni didn't directly throw a punch, Valverde accidentally hit the corner of the table hard. This impact caused him a laceration and bruising, requiring him to go to the hospital for treatment. Team members considered this the most serious incident ever to occur at the Valdebebas training center.
Perez shouldn't have bought Mbappe when Real Madrid was already doing so well. |
Immediately, club leader Jose Angel Sanchez had to hold an emergency meeting in the dressing room to control the situation. Disciplinary procedures were initiated, and both players are facing fines or suspensions.
This incident was not a spontaneous outburst but a consequence of the divisions within the Real Madrid squad. The biggest factor is the underlying rivalry between the South American players and the French players.
Perez's forgotten lesson
Many fans are seeing a resemblance to the club in the early 21st century. Back then, President Perez was preoccupied with building the first version of the Galacticos. Bringing in too many stars and numerous big egos caused the team to lose its balance. The Real Madrid squad then became a disjointed mess, leading to consecutive trophyless seasons from 2003 to 2006 and ultimately Perez's resignation.
Now, the story is repeating itself with the new Galacticos. President Perez's desire to bring the most expensive stars possible to Bernabeu has created a team that is difficult to control. The biggest mistake of the leadership last summer was losing the players who could have reconciled the factions.

Real currently lacks a leader in the dressing room. |
The departure of coach Carlo Ancelotti left Real Madrid without someone who knew how to calm and manage strong-willed players. Furthermore, the departure of veteran Luka Modric further weakened the unifying atmosphere in the dressing room.
Real Madrid currently possesses many diamond bricks, but without the glue of Ancelotti and Modric, those bricks begin to clash and crumble. Even Xabi Alonso lacked the authority to enforce discipline and was sacked, so what can Alvaro Arbeloa possibly do?
This ill-considered personnel planning is a direct fault of the top management. The players are at fault for fighting, but the person responsible for creating the current directionless team is none other than Perez.
