Although he again played out of position in three of the last four games of Real Madrid, Fede Valverde has been one of their best players in recent weeks, especially striking for his performance against Manchester City. He will probably be there again on Wednesday evening, because the two go against each other in the second stage in the Santiago Bernabeu.
Valverde missed the training on Monday with muscle development, but after Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that Lucas Vazquez would not be available to start against City, it seems more than likely that he will fill in right back again. However, the Uruguayan was positive about the experience.
“Glad I am doing things well in that position, I do it because other teammates are injured. I had to respond to myself in that position and I think I did reasonably well. I am willing to support the team and the coach, whatever he wants. It is a position that I enjoy a lot and learn a lot. I am still in eleven, which is the most important thing for me. '
He was asked how he learns the tricks of trade in a new position so quickly.
“I have players who are a great image for me (Carvajal and Lucas). They are Madrid legends and I try to learn … I try to get the most out of it. “
Los Blancos goes against City with six players who threaten to miss the next game by the suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Valverde, however, was not worried about the problem.
“I would never tell a player not to protest. The players fully live the game, with hot blood. There are players who live in one way, others differently … What I want is that the players give everything on the field. Jude is a player who always wants to win, always wants to fight. This time it was his turn, as can happen to others. I love his claw. We must remain united as a team. '
