Real Madrid player Fede Valverde, in an interview with “Direct TV”, reviewed several aspects of his career with the white team, starting from the last Clasico match and even admitting that he had very low moments in the white group
His goal against Barcelona from outside the area
“He didn’t pass the ball even crazier and more with the pressure I’m under from the coach, who told me that if I didn’t score more than 10 goals he would retire. In the end I will take all the blame for his retirement saying he rips the training card, but that’s encouraging, and he tells me several times that shooting on goal and that in the end works
Ancelotti eternal gratitude
“I will always be grateful to him for everything he has given me, and for what helps me. It made me want to be an important player in Madrid, not only contributing with work or energy but also scoring goals. I am one of those who kicks the best in training and why not take advantage of this quality
Carlo, almost like a father
“On a daily basis, he supports you, always gives advice, he always gives me unconditional support, and when I haven’t done things well, he tells me. He’s always wanted to put me that way I can show that and in the end prove that I’m ready for what he wants and he makes me notice it with great emotion
He felt “insufficient” when he arrived in Madrid
“I got nervous, shy, embarrassed…Sometimes you don’t know if you’re in the right place because you don’t look as good as everyone else in that locker room who won so much. Sometimes you feel inferior, strange. Little by little, when you win, you convince yourself that you matter too, and you start believing that and it’s good to go that way
The importance of your family
“We beat many stones along the way, she and my son are the ones supporting me. They support me, and they are the ones who “sit” me on a daily basis. When things weren’t going well, a few months ago in the club because of my own stuff, because I’m so stubborn, and I don’t have minutes… She’s given me a thousand solutions. You made me a father and it makes me mature on a day-to-day basis
