The Villarreal player went to a police station in Castellón: with this action, the case does not continue through sports, so Valverde could be disqualified or financially fined, but not sanctioned with matches
Álex Baena, player of the villarreal, has denounced Fede Valverde behind the punch that he gave him after Real Madrid – Villarreal played at the Santiago Bernabéu. The Castellón club announced that it would not intervene in the process, so the responsibility was in the hands of the Spanish international with the sub-21. The ‘Submarine’ player had the option of filing a complaint with the Police, before the Competition Committee or before both, but in the end he chose the first route, as ‘Onda Cero’ has advanced.
Valverde: disqualification or economic sanction
Baena’s action makes the case falls under criminal law, instead of sports. Therefore, Valverde will not receive a sanction, but rather could be disabled. Valverde’s aggression is not reflected in Alberola Rojas’ minutes, referee of the game that Real Madrid lost 2-3 against Quique Setién’s Villarreal. Thus, for the Competition Committee to have acted, Baena should have gone to this body. The Andalusian player who had a swelling on the cheekbonehe chose to go to a police station in Castellón.
Valverde punched the Spaniard, because according to his environment, he insulted his second child, who will be born in summer, after difficulties in the gestation transcended. Through her social networks, Baena denied that she told Valverde: “Cry now, that your son will not be born“. Villarreal supported their player: “We will respect the decision that he makes as affected, whether he decides to sue Valverde or not, but the club is not going to sue Real Madrid for this matter.”
That is to say, it was in the hands of the footballer to denounce the facts. “Baena is affected by the attack and by what is said about the alleged motive, which he affirms is false. He was unaware (and is unaware) of Valverde’s family situation and he would never mess with something like that”, they insist from the Castellón team. After the Villarreal player’s complaint, the matter now depends on the Anti-violence Commission. In this way, in the sports field, the possible sanction to Valverde would not be linked to the number of matches, but to the time of disqualification or even a monetary sanction.
