Carreras admits to incident with Real Madrid teammate: “They do not reflect reality”
The Real Madrid defender breaks his silence following reports of tension behind the scenes.
Álvaro Carreras has issued a statement in the early hours of the morning on his Instagram account, denying “certain insinuations and comments” about him that “do not reflect reality.” Specifically, he refers to an “incident with a teammate,” which he downplays as a minor matter. “It was an isolated issue without importance that has already been resolved,” he concludes, before emphasizing that his relationship with the squad is “very good.”
In the statement, he also defends his commitment to Real Madrid, stressing that he has worked “with the utmost professionalism, respect and dedication.” This is the full statement:
“In recent days, certain insinuations and comments have emerged about me that do not reflect reality.
My commitment to this club and to the coaches I have worked with has been absolute from day one, and it will continue to be so. Since I returned, I have always worked with the utmost professionalism, respect and dedication. I have fought very hard to fulfill my dream of coming back home.
Regarding the incident with a teammate, it was an isolated matter without importance that has already been resolved. My relationship with the entire team is very good.”
The statement follows reports published on Tuesday morning suggesting a possible confrontation between Carreras and Antonio Rüdiger. It had also been reported that the full-back’s behavior had been questioned by Real Madrid’s coaching staff.
